Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) said Thursday that Sen. Mitch McConnell's (R-KY) five-week absence from Congress and lack of response to Gov. Andy Beshear's (D-KY) request for an update on his health "conveys a very disturbing inability to fulfill his duties." "I understand that people have a right to medical privacy to deal with their issues, but we do not have the right to disappear from our jobs without explanation," she said. "I don't think any American has ever experienced the ability to just leave your job for over a month with no explanation to your employer."
