In the battle for the Republican party, the next few months will be vitally important.
In the latest salvo from the ongoing feud between Donald Trump and Mitch McConnell, the former president posted what appeared to be a death threat against the Kentucky senator on Friday.
After criticizing McConnell for approving “Trillions of Dollars worth of Democrat sponsored Bills,” Trump wrote on Truth Social that he believes the Senate Minority Leader is doing so either to spite him “because he hates Donald J. Trump” or because he “believes in the Fake and Highly Destructive Green New Deal.”
“In any event, either reason is unacceptable,” Trump wrote. “He has a DEATH WISH.”
The former president proceeded to insult McConnell’s wife, former Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao: “Must immediately seek help and advise from his China loving wife, Coco Chow!”
Trump didn’t specify which bill he was criticizing McConnell for approving, and it’s unclear why he suggested the senator supports the Green New Deal even though the bill died in 2019 when McConnell led the Senate.
A spokesperson for Trump and McConnell did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
On Tuesday, McConnell voiced support for the bipartisan bill to reform the Electoral Count Act in light of the January 6, 2021, riot and attempts to overturn the 2020 vote. The bill changes the way Congress counts electoral votes and would make it more difficult to challenge state-certified election results.
“I’ll proudly support the legislation, providing that nothing more than technical changes are made to its current form,” McConnell said in floor remarks on Tuesday. “The chaos that came to a head on January 6 of last year certainly underscored the need for an update.”
get rid of McConnell, past time to put Him out. Let Him and Nancy spend their sorry lives in Prison, together in one cell with only one bunk.
Don, that’s China owned Mitch.
Just when we thought Trump has sunk the lowest in the crazy pit, we are AGAIN proven wrong. I have no love lost for McConnell, but I have to admit he has been the most effective leader the GOP had in quite a while..
The more I read the comments here and in Fox News the less I respect the intellect of the average current republican breadthen.. It has gotten to the point that we are not any better than the average moron in a banana republic.
McConnell has been highly effective at getting what he wants, but not at promoting a classic conservative agenda, or Republican voters wish list, or the President’s (i.e. Trump’s) promised agenda, or even a generic Republican elected officials’ publicly declared priorities list.
