Mitch McConnell: “If he can fall that far, I mean, this guy was against -- he was for having sanctions on South Africa.”

On the advice of my doctors, 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.

As always, I appreciate all of your continued well wishes, and I’m looking forward to getting back to the Senate and to Kentucky soon.

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.
