Fall?
No injuries to head visible.
No to hands, arms or shoulders.Appears to be being supported to sit by the person to their left.
Guardian journalist #RobertMackey & AP journalist #MaryClareJalonick have both taken the highly irresponsible approach of dramatising a press release by, with shockingly poor evidence, presenting McConnell as having "revealed", "said", "explained".
This is bullshit.Who wrote the press release?
