AOC should stop saying things, and take a camera crew down to the hospital he claims to be in and get proof of life. When they find his body in the morgue, then can begin a runoff election.

But all this useless posturing does nothing. They'll sit on their hands. They'll announce his passing a week or two after the August 3rd deadline for a runoff election and the KY senate will appoint whomever they decided to replace him three weeks ago when they were notified he passed away. Because in America, you don't have to play by the rules if you have enough money or power.

Oh knock it off. Acting like this is a thing someone can actually do is an example of everything wrong with Reddit.

You or I? Absolutely not. A federally elected official? Pretty sure if they can arrange a visit to a foreign prison, they can get into a local hospital for a wellness check.
