Trump scolds McConnell after impeachment trial speech, blames him for GOP losing the Senate

In a statement released on Tuesday, former President Donald Trump aimed his grievances at Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, who decried Trump’s actions leading up to the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection.

While McConnell did not vote to convict trump for inciting the Jan. 6 insurrection, he blasted Trump from the Senate floor on Saturday, blaming Trump for the riot. Five people, including a Capitol Police officer, died amid the riots. McConnell cited his belief that the Senate lacked jurisdiction for voting against convicting Trump.

The scathing statement from Trump indicates the growing riff in the Republican Party. Seven Republican senators voted to convict Trump, some of whom were censured by state GOP organizations following Saturday’s vote.

“Mitch is a dour, sullen, and unsmiling political hack, and if Republican Senators are going to stay with him, they will not win again,” Trump said. “He will never do what needs to be done, or what is right for our Country. Where necessary and appropriate, I will back primary rivals who espouse Making America Great Again and our policy of America First.”

  1. Say what you want but Rush Limbaugh truly set the course of our political future. Others may disagree but they will end up flipping burgers while those that support (not fight) the Limbaugh/Trump legacy come to leadership where they BELONG.
