Conspiracy theorists are buzzing again about Mitch McConnell's health, and this time, his wife's wardrobe is the trigger.
Elaine Chao wore a shirt-pants combo when she visited the Kentucky senator at a rehab center on July 14.
The same outfit appears in a proof-of-life photo that McConnell's office says was taken on July 26—12 days later.
The detail went mostly unnoticed until now, but it has convinced some that McConnell is not as well as his office claims.
There's also chatter that the shirt Elaine wore looks like one sold at Chico's, which some think the former U.
S. Secretary of Labor would never wear.
The conspiracy whirlwind has been strong for weeks, as McConnell has been out of public view since June 14, when he was rushed to the hospital.
Doctors say he suffered a fall at home, was discharged, and is now undergoing rehab and physical therapy.
McConnell's office has released only two photos of him in rehab—no videos or audio of him speaking—and both have done little to ease public skepticism.
The "Weekend at Bernie's" crowd isn't going anywhere.
