Mitch McConnell: “The Civil War happened. It’s part of our history. I revere those forefathers of mine, not because I approve of slavery…”

Earlier today, I was discharged from the rehabilitation center to continue my recovery at home.

I'll maintain an intensive regimen of physical therapy from home during the state work period, and I'll continue to engage with my staff and colleagues on important Senate business.

Elaine and I are grateful for the many well wishes and support from friends, colleagues, and Kentuckians, and for the attentive care I've received from excellent doctors, nurses, therapists, and hospital staff.

So I hate that I’ll miss the fun this year, but I’m sending my best wishes to the St. Jerome community for a successful picnic.
