en. Mitch McConnell, 83, is “not equipped mentally” to be in office, President Donald Trump told reporters on Thursday, underscoring how the senator “let the Republican Party go to hell.”
McConnell voted with Democrat colleagues on Thursday against RFK’s nomination as the Health and Human Services secretary.
He also voted on Wednesday against confirming Tulsi Gabbard as the Director of National Intelligence and previously voted against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s confirmation in January.
“He’s not voting against Bobby,” Trump said of McConnell’s vote against RFK. “He’s voting against me.”
“If I didn’t come along, the Republican Party wouldn’t even exist right now,” Trump said of McConnell. “He’s not equipped mentally. He wasn’t equipped ten years ago mentally, in my opinion. He let the Republican Party go to hell.”
“He had an ability to raise money because of his position as leader, which anybody could do,” Trump told CNN’s Kaitlan Collins.
Donald Trump is correct !!
