Yahoo News Weird Photo Of Mitch McConnell's Social Distancing Has People In Stitches
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) spoke to reporters on Thursday in a scene that’s becoming increasingly common as people practice social distancing to stop the spread of the novel coronavirus.
McConnell stood outside the Senate Chamber and was surrounded by reporters, who were all attempting to remain at least 6 feet away from each other. The scene was captured by photographers, and on Twitter, some couldn’t help but crack a joke:
