An old video clip showing the moment McConnell froze up in 2023 has been edited. A large bandage wrapped around the senator's head, and audio of the female voice asking if his head was OK were added to the video. https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2024/12/fact-check-mitch-mcconnells-head-was-not-bandaged-after-fall-at-senate-republican-lunch-old-clip-was-edited.html

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1887577181360169038
Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
