President Donald Trump tore into several Republicans in the U.S. Senate — the usual suspects — for their ongoing efforts to block his agenda, including a refusal to ensure election integrity by backing the VOTE America Act.
The GOP holds a 53-47 lead in the U.S. Senate; however, with Sens. Mitch McConnell (Ky.), Thom Tillis (N.C.), Lisa Murkowski (Alaska), and Susan Collins (Maine) among the ranks, it’s hard to argue the party has a majority.
Asked by a reporter in the Oval Office about Republican support for a supplemental bill to fund the Iran war, Trump immediately blasted McConnell as an “angry man” over losing his leadership role.
“Well, McConnell’s an angry man. He, you know, got thrown out of his position. He’s an angry guy. You know, he should be very thankful to me, because if I didn’t win, he wouldn’t have gotten to appoint — I appointed the judges. He didn’t. He gets credit for appointing judges. He didn’t appoint anybody. I did. You know how I did? I won the election, and then I picked judges.”
President Trump goes BESERK on Senator Mitch McConnell.
He cut him right down to the bone and reduced his entire 40+ year career to nothing within seconds.

“And the judges ended up getting approved. And they said, ‘Oh, doesn’t he do a good job?’ He didn’t do a great job. What the hell did he do? I won the election,” the president continued. “He’s an angry man who is very disloyal to John Thune. John Thune’s a good man. He was a loyal worker for Mitch McConnell. He worked for Mitch McConnell. He worked very hard. He was very loyal to him.”
Trump went on to say he disagreed with McConnell, who now chairs the Senate Appropriations Defense Subcommittee, “a lot” because the former Senate Republican leader “gave so much money to Democrats,” while refusing to give him money to build a border wall.
“No, Mitch McConnell’s a bad guy and he’s — I thought he was lousy at his job, lousy at his job,” he said.
Trump then turned his ire toward Murkowski, before mentioning Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.)
“And Murkowski is terrible, terrible to us, terrible to the country,” Trump said. “And, you know, I almost feel guilty. I’ve probably done more for Alaska than any other state. Not because of her, because it’s the right thing to do. She’s just an impediment. But she’s there. She probably will be a negative vote.”
“You have a couple of others. I think Rand Paul’s come a long way. Let’s see what happens. I think Rand Paul likes ‘SAVE America.’ Because Rand Paul is usually a negative vote, but I think he likes ‘SAVE America.’ So that’s good. I like Rand Paul. But, you know, I hope he votes for us.”
Here’s a quick sampling of responses to the story, as seen on X:
McConnell is one of the leaders of the Uniparty who hasn’t passed immigration reform, term limits, corruption reform, or voter ID in decades of service

McConnell deserves credit for not allowing Merritt Garland to get a vote and getting ACB confirmed in the final months of 45. Other than that, good riddance!

McConnell barely knows who he is. What good is insulting him at this point?
