Republican Rep. Marlin Stutzman made the eyebrow-raising statement on NewsNation after being bluntly asked if he believes McConnell, 84, is dead.

“You know, just the things that I’ve heard and seen from some friends is that he’s obviously not doing well, but don’t know if he’s alive or has passed away,” Stutzman said.

Stutzman, who represents northeast Indiana, slammed the secrecy surrounding McConnell’s three-week hospitalization. He demanded answers from the McConnell team, which is led by his longtime, camera-shy aide, Terry Carmack, who is set to earn more than $226,000 this year.

He looks like Garry Oldman as Mason Verger in Hannibal

    I was blown away when I learned he was mason verger. Granted I'd seen the movie a long time before I knew who gary oldman was but that character has stuck around with me through the years

    I read the book first and really liked it. But I was also a lot younger, so I don't know if it's all that good of a book or movie
