Well Mitch McConnell may have done the Senate dirty work for Donald Trump when. he WAS President…
BUT?
These days ?
McConnell has little to no use for the Big Guy since the Jan. 6 Capitol protest violence….
And has made negitive remarks about Trump’s ‘loyal’ endorsed candidates that are have polling trouble for the November midterms….
THAT got under Donald Trump’s skin…
Senate Republicans show no hurry to follow Trump whims on this…
That has Trump even more pissed who has recently dissed McConnell’s wife Eliane Cho , who was Trump’s Transporation Secretary….
Trump DOES have a habit of getting personal against those he hates….
Former President Trump on Wednesday called on Republicans to boot Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) from his post as Senate minority leader, accusing the senator of being a “pawn for the Democrats.”
In a statement, Trump cited a Wednesday story from The Federalist about McConnell and his wife Elaine Chao’s alleged ties to China in calling for the senator’s ouster from his longtime leadership post.
“Mitch McConnell is not an Opposition Leader, he is a pawn for the Democrats to get whatever they want,” Trump said in his statement. “He is afraid of them, and will not do what has to be done. A new Republican Leader in the Senate should be picked immediately!”
Trump has feuded with McConnell, who he has dubbed “Old Crow,” since the Senate leader denounced the former president in Congress for his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.
Over the weekend, the former president slammed McConnell for making remarks last week about “candidate quality,” in a reference to Republicans running for Senate, a number of whom were hand-picked by Trump. McConnell has said the race for Senate control in November will be close…..
Note….
McConnell a US Senator for Kentucky has Long Island/NY connection thru his wife and her family…..
