‘Should have kept his mouth shut.’ Mitch McConnell slams Obama for criticizing Trump
The Kansas City Star ^ | May 12, 2020 | BY JEREMY CHISENHALL

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell took issue with former President Barack Obama’s comments on the U.S. response to the coronavirus pandemic. McConnell bashed Obama, and said he “should have kept his mouth shut.”

“I think it’s a little bit classless, frankly, to critique an administration that comes after you,” McConnell said Monday night during a Trump campaign livestream event. “You had your shot; you were there for eight years. I think the tradition that the Bushes set up - of not critiquing the president who comes after you - is a good tradition.”

In a leaked private call with people who worked with him in the White House, Obama called the Trump Administration’s response to the coronavirus pandemic “an absolute chaotic disaster.”

“We know he doesn’t like much this administration is doing,” McConnell, a Kentucky Republican, said in the livestream, which was hosted by Lara Trump, the president’s daughter-in-law and campaign adviser.

Heard the Obama tape on Tucker. Obama’s speech pattern sounded like a man taking opioids followed by an amphetamine to keep awake. Frankly his friends ought to make an intervention.

Time for all hands on deck. I think Trump supporters had better start identifying 10 people they will get to the polls.

All I heard was uuuuuuuuh, duuuuuuup, bluuuuuuup.

I could not follow a word he tried to say.

Make sure the criminal rat traitor president has his teleprompter any time he tries to address anyone, otherwise the dude can’t even form a word.

Mitch is an old time deep state operator. This is all kabuki theater. Now if Obama threatened one of Mitch’s revenue streams, then it would be war.

It was a very halting speach pattern wasn’t it. Between him and biden there seems to be a disturbing trend.

Just to pick one smidgen of a scandal guided by Obummer, Fast and Furious was “an absolute chaotic disaster” of historic proportions.

A little late Mitch. Where have you been while Schiff used the House to defame and impeach the President? Why didn't the Senate counteract these attacks? Why did you support the partisan Mueller investigation?

You were part of 8 members of Congress who were given special intelligence briefings. Only Devin Nunes spoke up and warned the President. You, Ryan, and Burr were working with the enemy. Shame in you.

McConnell’s right. Obama acted like a low class jerk... disgraceful.

LOL The Bushes only critique Republican presidents.

Obozo will always try to disparage President Trump. President Trump flushed Obozo’s legacy down the toilet by showing how inept he was. This clown was born in Kenya as his grandmother aptly stated she was present at his birth, never produced a legitimate birth certificate, applied for student loans representing himself as a foreign student. What more is needed to prove Obozo was illegitimate. As a foreigner, he did a great deal of damage to the USA as a protege’ of Soros. Nancy Pelosi knew he was not a legitimate candidate as she had signed off on his app to be a presidential candidate.

“Leaked” my ass. Even Porky Stirewalt at Faux was saying that it was leaked. By whom? For what purpose? Leaks are always for a reason. In this case, the ‘annointed one’ is trying to set the table for the upcoming argument. He talked about the ‘rule of law’. He only knows one rule of law - his. He is saying that he did the things he did for the good of the country. Old argument, made by many tyrants (if not all).

Well it was a “private” (secret, sneaky) call but it proves that the little bass-turb is agitating and still “community organizating” on the sly. He is the most insidious traitor the country has ever placed in high office.

Beat on him Mitch!

Where was Mitch when they were railroading the President? Quiet as a church mouse. Almost as if the leadership wanted Trump to just go away...THEY ALL KNEW and did little to stop the train. Did they worry about offending the Democrats by saying HELL NO?
