Trump Responds to McConnell After Leader Warns GOP Voters About Midterms

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.

Damone, right about everything.
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
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
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
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
How is the GOP silent on immigration? I hear them railing on it every single day.
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.
Kent will vote party line too. Except he won’t decide to fuck his party for a few DIM votes.
But Trump!
Fuck off
I'm not enabling the piece of shit GOP
Any candidate that is on my issues is a ultra maga trumptrash threat to democracy
Let the people get the government they vote for
If they're that stupid they deserve it
Every fucking day thousands more
