A new alleged video shows Republican Kentucky Sen. Mitch McConnell being loaded into an ambulance.
The video shows emergency responders taking McConnell to an ambulance on a stretcher after being called to his home last month for a report of an unconscious person, according to a CNN report.

The previously unreported footage and the neighbor’s account offer new details about the circumstances surrounding McConnell’s hospitalization, which has remained largely shrouded in mystery.

A neighbor of McConnell said they stepped outside their home around 8:30 a.m. on June 14 to find a heavy emergency response, with two ambulances, a fire truck, and Capitol Police officers blocking the entire street. Roughly 30 minutes later, the neighbor said they watched first responders remove a person on a stretcher from McConnell’s residence.
McConnell’s prolonged hospitalization has fueled speculation about his condition. Several Republicans, including Senate Majority Leader John Thune, have said they have recently spoken with the Kentucky senator.
Videos recorded by the neighbor show emergency personnel transporting the individual toward an ambulance. Because the footage was captured from a distance, the person’s face is not visible. After the stretcher was loaded into the ambulance, the individual’s lower legs appear to be covered with an orange blanket while their feet remain exposed.
The neighbor said they asked officers what had happened and were told there had been a “medical emergency.” When they specifically asked whether McConnell was the one experiencing the emergency, officers replied they “would block the street for anybody.”
Although the neighbor said they never saw the person’s face, they said another eyewitness later told them the individual on the stretcher was McConnell and that he was not wearing an oxygen mask.
I spoke to my old friend Mitch McConnell this morning, the senior Senator from Kentucky. He’s still recovering in the hospital. We talked for just shy of 20 minutes … about IRAN, UKRAINE, the unfolding situation in MAINE, my visit to the TR Presidential Library, and even a…

The neighbor said the exposed feet were what stood out most. (RELATED: Trump Gives Blunt Response To Question On Mitch McConnell’s Health)
“He’s in a stretcher, and he’s in some sort like orange foam-looking blanket type thing,” the neighbor said. During the brief moment the feet were visible, they appeared to be “not moving.”
The neighbor also recalled another resident saying, “Oh yeah, it’s Mitch, I saw his face,” according to the report.
At the time of the incident, a spokesperson for McConnell said only that he had been “admitted to the hospital this morning” and was “receiving excellent care.”
An EMS dispatch audio recording previously published by independent journalist Desirée Townsend indicated emergency crews were sent to McConnell’s Washington, D.C., residence for an “unconscious” person experiencing a “cardiac arrest.” During the recording, someone can also be heard saying, “CPR in progress.” (RELATED: Is It Really This Hard For Politicians To Admit The Truth About Their Health?)
Despite the nature of the dispatch, the neighbor said the response itself did not appear rushed.
“In a situation where perhaps time is of the essence, there seems to be a little bit more urgency, but there was no urgency here,” the neighbor told CNN.
CNN senior political commentator Scott Jennings also said he spoke with McConnell by phone on Tuesday, telling Kasie Hunt that McConnell’s “voice sounded strong” and that he was “feeling OK — obviously well enough to call me on the phone.”
The Daily Caller reached out to McConnell’s office for comment but did not receive a response in time for publication.
