Sen. Mitch McConnell was captured on video suffering a fall Thursday on Capitol Hill.
ETWN Capitol Hill Correspondent Erik Rosales said the incident happened in the basement of the Russell Senate Office Building.

McConnell is then seen stumbling to the ground. After he is helped back up, McConnell waves at the person filming the video and walks away.
