    TLDR:

    KY GOP is suspected of actively suppressing any/all news of his passing and/or keeping him on life support until after the first week of August in order to avoid triggering a special election.

    Update

    NY Post has run a story saying Glitch called the same people who have already claimed without any evidence to have spoken with him in the time since June 14th. He’s definitely fucking dead.

    Ding-dong! The Mitch is dead
    Which old Mitch? The Wicked Mitch!
    Ding-dong! The Wicked Mitch is dead
    Wake up, you sleepy head
    Rub your eyes, get out of bed
    Wake up, the Wicked Mitch is dead
    He's gone where the goblins go
    Below, below, below
    Yo-ho, let's open up and sing and ring the bells out
    Ding-dong, the merry-oh, sing it high, sing it low
    Let them know the Wicked Mitch is dead!
