Trump Is Not Wrong About Mitch McConnell
American Spectator ^ | August 25, 2022 | Scott McKay

Posted on 08/27/2022 7:59:03 PM PDT by T Ruth

You might not have caught this earlier in the week, but President Trump unloaded on Mitch McConnell with a vengeance in a statement reacting to a Jordan Boyd piece at the Federalist on McConnell’s shady relationship with China.

The statement was not kind:

The Democrats have Mitch McConnell and his lovely wife, Elaine “Coco” Chao, over a barrel. He and she will never be prosecuted, as per the last paragraphs of this story, as long as he continues to give the Radical Left the Trillions and Trillions of Dollars that they constantly DEMAND. He was afraid to use the “Debt Ceiling Card” in order to stop the most expensive waste of money in our Country’s history, to be spent on the Green New Deal, which will only cause one thing, a Depression. These expenditures are something our Country can never recover from. Mitch McConnell is not an Opposition Leader, he is a pawn for the Democrats to get whatever they want. 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 had trashed McConnell for his family’s business dealings with China, dealings Boyd’s piece covers in ire-raising detail, on Sunday and was excoriated in turn by the legacy corporate media.

We’re inside 11 weeks from a massively important midterm election, so from an aesthetic standpoint it isn’t particularly preferable to have this kind of flame-throwing between the two most prominent figures in the Republican Party.

Except Trump isn’t wrong. And he’s especially not wrong in his main point, which is that Mitch McConnell doesn’t need to continue as the GOP caucus leader in the Senate.

... what really ought to disqualify McConnell is [his public trashing of GOP candidates]

IMHO Mitch is the leader of the RINO party. I have no doubt that Mitch is rooting for the FBI and the DOJ to take down President Trump.

Red China sure does command the cooperation of the RINO brigade.

McConnell leads the charge.

People just won’t stop electing Bush League Republicans.
That seems to be all that South Carolina elects.
The reddest states elect the worst of the Assistant Democrats.

What a mess.

He can’t be voted out of office. He won his last primary with 82.8 percent of the vote.

He has more than enough votes in the senate to be reelected as the Republican Leader.

He’s 80 years old and in poor health.

If he retires, the Democrat Governor will replace him with a Democrat.

If Trump is reelected, McConnell would do everything in his power to undermine him for four years.

What a mess.

Just stop appointing people, and gt rid of those who have family and otherwise ties to China, would be a good place to start.

Mitch is the leader of the Republican-Wing of the Uniparty.

Mitch wants Trump out of power, but he just doesn't want his fingerprints on whatever might happen.

FYI - A newly enacted KY law requires senator replacement be from the same party.

I will never vote for traitor RINOs. When they are particularly odious like Mitch ‘The Bitch” McConnell I would vote for the Democrat just to boot them from the GOP as well.

Also NEVER FORGET that McConnell kept the Senate in pro-forma session to PREVENT Trump from installing recess appointments.

McConnell did great with judges, but that was it, now it’s time to let a pro-America person take over.
