Fact check confirms edited video of Mitch McConnell with forehead bandage

A video claiming to show Senator Mitch McConnell with a bandage on his forehead has been found to be digitally altered. The edited video suggests he lost focus during a speech after a recent fall. McConnell suffered a sprained wrist and a cut from the fall, which his office confirmed. He is currently working from home as he recovers. The original video, uploaded in July 2023, does not show the bandage and includes an edited reporter's question. The altered video was shared by a parody account on X and has been debunked by multiple fact-checking organizations.
