Mid-June marks more than 3 months since New Jersey Republican Rep. Thomas Kean Jr. was last seen publicly, despite recent statements promising a return from a reported long illness.
Empty event-booth photos posted by “Team Kean” on his official Facebook page have intensified scrutiny, with staff appearing at local events without the congressman and writing updates in the first person.
Rachel Maddow this week likened the optics to “Weekend at Bernie’s,” while commenters on the posts openly questioned Kean’s condition and why no direct proof of his status has been shown.
Kean still won his primary during the absence and reportedly made more than $200,000 in stock trades, adding to questions about how his office is operating while he remains out of public view.
