Trump Responds to McConnell After Leader Warns GOP Voters About Midterms

By Jack Phillips, Epoch Times

Former President Donald Trump responded to recent comments issued by Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) about the GOP possibly not retaking the Senate during the 2022 midterms.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump said the Kentucky senator is a “broken down political hack” and challenged his loyalty to the Republican Party. “Why do Republicans Senators allow a broken down hack politician, Mitch McConnell, to openly disparage hard working Republican candidates for the United States Senate,” Trump asked on the platform.

He added: “This is such an affront to honor and to leadership. He should spend more time (and money!) helping them get elected, and less time helping his crazy wife and family get rich on China!” Trump was making reference to McConnell’s wife, Elaine Chao, owning a shipping company that does extensive business in China, according to reports.

Trump’s critical comment came days after McConnell told reporters that the GOP likely won’t retake the Senate because, according to him, there are problems with certain Republican candidates running for office in this election cycle. He didn’t elaborate.

“I think there’s probably a greater likelihood the House flips than the Senate,” McConnell told reporters in Kentucky last week. “Senate races are just different, they’re statewide, candidate quality has a lot to do with the outcome.”

McConnell did not say whether he has a plan or will try to help certain Republican candidates win their races.

Republicans need a net gain of one Senate seat to retake control of the congressional body. The Senate now stands at 50–50, with Vice President Kamala Harris serving as a tie-breaker for the Democrats.

“In the Senate, if you look at where we have to compete in order to get into a majority, there are places that are competitive in the general election,” McConnell also said in April. “So, you can’t nominate somebody who’s just sort of unacceptable to a broader group of people and win. We had that experience in 2010 and 2012.”

Trump has often panned the leadership of McConnell, who in 2020 happily touted the former president’s endorsement to win his Senate race, since he left the White House.

While McConnell has issued few statements in response to Trump’s criticisms of the senator’s leadership, he believes he will be reelected as GOP leader regardless of whether Republicans or Democrats take over in 2022.

“Well, look at it this way: I have been elected eight times without opposition. If I have an opponent—I don’t own this job, and there’s always an election every two years for leader—if anybody wants to challenge me, have at it,” McConnell told Fox News earlier this month. McConnell then said he is confident about being reelected as GOP leader.

    The winds are shifting to exactly what I was warning about with Kent. When I suggested Trump backed candidates winning the primaries would maybe make the general tighter most of you lost your shit. We have gone from a GOP house and senate lam dunk to maybe retake the house and the Senate remains Donkey.

    Damone, right about everything.

    I don't care. It's not Trump backed it's giving a shit about America and stopping the green climate covid inflation bullshit

    If the people want the bullshit it doesn't matter which wing of the uni party wins. The people will get more bullshit

    I vote issues not personality because I'm not a chick
    Doesn't matter if you or anyone cares.

    All GOP senators and house members voted against the Make Inflation Worse Act. Including RINO senators and Cheney and Buelter. The attitude of "if you don't love Trump then we'd rather not have a republican win at all" is stupid.

    If one more senator GOP would have won in 2020 the bill signed last week doesn't exist. But I guess if a GOP senator isn't polishing Trumps knob what happened last week is ok. Because we'd rather not have the vote in congress at all unless it's a MAGA vote.

    The right freaking out over someone who dares to impeach their beloved trump is chick thinking. It's just as emotional as anything the left dishes out.

    Trump fucked out the GA senate race. It shouldn't have been close. We know have $80 billion gone to the IRS. FYMEFE

    Tell me what makes Joe Kent unacceptable? What makes Oz unacceptable and Fetterman more acceptable? Mitch. He sees the party moving away from the “we all get fat days.” Fuck him. Dinosaur.

    It has nothing to do with Trump. I was clear about that

    You're parroting the left narrative.

    Georgia fucked themselves. It's called voting

    81 million Americans voted for Joe Biden and you're worried about quality of candidates.

    5 million illegals since Biden took office. GOP is silent

    You and Mitch can complain while the democrats play to win with terrorists and wife beaters on the ballot

    But TRUMP

    JHB fucked herself. She made a calculation that DIMS would help carry her in the primary. She lost. Fuck her too. Party First Lady. She almost had the DIM thinking down until she didn’t.

    Mitch knifing GOP primary winners he doesn’t like in the back is not winds shifting. It’s Mitch protecting his turf. POS uniparty rat.

    You don’t have to convince me. You have to convince independents, housewives and many republicans who dislike trump and will not vote at all in the general.

    We now have a situation around the nation where we have an election that will be much closer than it needed to be. And fuck you all very much for our new beefed up IRS. We needed 1 vote. But it came down to emotion. Good job

    I’m not parroting shit. I’m seeing an election that was a slam dunk now be in question. I saw two Senate races go to to Dems when it was a slam dunk GOP win that lead to a straight line to the make inflation worse act. But don’t talk shit about Trump! PARTY FIRST!

    How is the GOP silent on immigration? I hear them railing on it every single day.

    It’s the “not party first types” that put us here. Thank them for the J6th Committee. JHB gave the DIMS the power to bludgeon the GOP daily. She gave us Liz Cheney.

    That poor decision is why she’s gone. That’s not an emotional reaction. Party First. GOP had better adopt it or get accustomed to LOSING.

    Liz and Jamie voted along party lines in every spending bill in the last 2 years. In care about policy. 1/6 is an emotional circus. I care about have 87k IRS agents up our asses because of 1 fucking vote. But oh know, they don’t suck trumps dick…a dem is better than them! That’s straight up emotional thinking. “Party first “ is literally emotional thinking.

    Mitch needs to tell Republicans what makes an “acceptable” candidate. It’s bullshit talk because he hates America first candidates. The DIMs put up fucking trash candidates like Fetterman and you don’t hear Chucky bashing him. Do you?

    Party First wins. Why do you think DIMS hold the WH and both houses? Because their leadership is bashing their primary winners?

    Kent will vote party line too. Except he won’t decide to fuck his party for a few DIM votes.

    But Trump!

    I thought you were about policy. What vote on policy (especially spending) did Cheney cast that went against the GOP do you disagree with?
