A republican senator blamed a technical error for his sudden freezing on live television, which sparked rumors of online health problems.
In an interview with Fox News’ “Kudlow” on Tuesday, Louisiana senator John Kennedy and host Larry Kudlow discussed the mass deportation efforts of President Donald Trump when the senator arrested in the middle of the sentence and just looked at the future without speaking.
“I’m sure Jesus loves him but everyone thinks …” said Kennedy before dragging. The senator then looked slightly the camera smiling. He licked his lips before Fox News cut it and puts the broadcast of Ludlow.
“I guess we had more technical problems. It was the same microphone that we lost with Senator Rand Paul. Sorry, sorry to hear this because everyone respects what Senator John Kennedy has to say,” said Ludlow.
Kennedy’s frost immediately sparked online rumors on possible medical problems. Others compared the incident to the freezer of Senator Mitch McConnell at a press conference with journalists in August 2023.
It was not a microphone problem, he had a mini stroke.

“He slipped,” wrote a user. Another joked, “Bro tries to be Mitch McConnell.” Some users have suggested medical problems such as a “stroke mini accident” or “stroke type symptoms”.
Kennedy returned to Fox News the next day, during which he said that the steep end of his interview was the result of technical errors and not of health problems.

“I was just looking at and all of a sudden, my ear exploded,” said Kennedy, pointing to his right ear. “It looked like a 747 take off. Dude, my ears are still sounding. Anyway, I assumed that we were up there and I just stopped talking and I didn’t start talking before I could hear you.”
The senator denied any assertion that he experienced a medical problem when broadcasting, rejecting rumors of “brain gel … or a stroke or caught a MST live on television”.
Kennedy said in a statement obtained by the Daily mail That he “heard a noise screaming loudly with a lot of static” and that he “stopped speaking until the interference is clearing up,” thinking that they were out of the air. The Republican media castigated media to cover the incident with suggestions for possible health problems.
