'Doesn't Have a Clue': Trump Calls on Mitch McConnell to Resign as Senate Minority Leader
Newsweek ^ | 11/27/2021 | Christina Zhao

Former President Donald Trump on Friday called on Mitch McConnell to resign as Senate Minority Leader for supporting President Joe Biden's $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill, which passed Congress earlier this month.

McConnell, a Kentucky Republican who voted for the bill and drew Trump's ire, trumpeted the sweeping plan as "good for the country" and even attempted to give the Senate credit for its passage.

"It's not infrastructure and we had 19 Republicans voting for it. What a shame. But Mitch McConnell gave this. That guy should resign as the leader," Trump said in a Black Friday interview on Fox Business.

McConnell and 18 other Senate Republicans joined Democrats in voting for the infrastructure bill in August.

"He broke up the bills, and by breaking it up that was bad, but then he gave them two months to get their act together. They were ready to fold. We had them. And then Mitch McConnell gave them two months. This guy doesn't have a clue," Trump said Friday.

Sadly, he’s got a clue. He’s playing for the other team. And as we know, people on the Left only resign when someone farther Left than them demands it.

He’s playing for his cash cow China. Ask his wife.

Mitch has been taking orders from Biden.

Now, it’s gotten too obvious

Trump has to stop endorsing Bush League Republicans.

I’ve always thought RINO McConnell was partial to the deep state. He’s a sissy when confronting Schmucky Schumer.

Mitch did a great job with the court nominees. Trump needs to ease up on him.

Everyone who is even mildly paying attention to politics knows that Mitch McConnell and Lindsey Graham have been working for the Democrats for decades.

Kentucky Republicans keep voting to reelect McConnell. South Carolina keeps voting to reelect Graham. Trump endorsed both of them.

It’s not rocket science.

The Democrats love McConnell and Graham. If they were serious about replacing McConnell and Graham, they would have run moderate Democrat candidates. They chose instead to field the most left-wing candidates they could find. They were counting on Republicans to reelect McConnell and Graham.

Democrats are laughing at the stupid party.

McConnell should rein in government spending the way Trump did.

Oh wait…..

Commenting that Mitch should resign is not the same as calling for his resignation.

McConnell and Graham have always been Assistant Democrats. Cornyn, too.

Doesn't have a clue? Basically Mitch threw them a lifeline to keep it alive. It wasn't because he was stupid and squandered a victory with a dumb mistake. He wanted it like he wants all of Biden's agenda and he found a way to keep it alive long enough to pass. He wants and has supported all of Bidens agenda. He wanted and supported none of Trumps. This is who the GOP really is.

Did President Trump make any further statements regarding the unconstitutional vaccine mandates lately?

Yeah, the Turtle is playing for the other team, we’ve known that for decades. Maybe call Captain Obvious?

Rather than RINO hunting, how about standing up for all of the people being coerced into genetic therapy Mr President???

Didn’t think so.

McTurtle is my worthless f$#@&ing POS senator and I finally left the GOP last January because of his refusal to back Trump.

“’this guy doesn’t have a clue,’ Trump said Friday.”

McConnell has a clue, Mr. President. The clue, really an order, comes from the Chamber of Commerce. That is who McConnell works for.
