Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has labored mightily to avoid criticizing President Trump, but two weeks into the new administration, it’s getting harder to downplay their differences.
On Sunday, McConnell told CNN he disagreed with Trump’s view of Russian President Vladimir Putin, questioned the president’s claim of massive voter fraud in the 2016 presidential election and cautioned against the administration going too far with restrictions on travel from predominantly Muslim countries.

Come on, we all knew it was just a matter of time before the turtle pulled back into his shell.
What a jerk!!
As if McConnelll alone has any power...No, Mitch, that was last year...
I think the word is COWARD; CHICKEN .. or something along those lines.
We have tried and tried to get rid of him, but the go along to get along’s always seem to re-elect him.
However, this is a whole new ballgame .. and if he fumbles the ball for this GAME .. the GAME will be over for him .. because I don’t think there will be enough votes to keep him in office .. McConnell should have figured this out after the election.
Guess he’s too buddy-buddy with CHUCKY to do his JOB.
Headline didn’t say Mitch Turtle disagree with Trump on voter fraud, either.
It was reported in another article.
It IS up to us to MAKE SURE they understand WHO VOTED for them! WE NEED them to understand if they blow the mandate they have WE WILL VOTE THEM OUT!!! These ASSHATS have been given ALL branches of government for the FIRST TIME in over 100 Years, Trump IS OUR VOICE these BASTARDS better get with the program!!!
You must be one of the lucky ones.
My reps are Blumenthal and Murphy. :(
Like a polecat, McConnell’s true colors have always been visible.
We seem to forget that Trump winning was the last thing that many Republicans expected or wanted. McConnell and Ryan would have been just peachy with the Hilderbeast in the Whitehouse.
The Democrat base is not going to allow their office holders to cooperate in any way. Trump has a tough job ahead, but as he has shown over and over again since announcing, he will find a way to win.
I imagine Trump has a long game plan to deal with obstructionist RINOs like McConnell and Ryan. He still needs to work with them at this point and is using a combination of flattery and his bully pulpit to coax them into some sort of working relationship, imperfect though it may be. Once he is in a stronger position, look for him to be more aggresive and confrontational with them.
Ah, the Turtle slumps away from the right path yet again.
Hey MitchY...I think Trump has a SET he;s not even using if you want to borrow.....MAN UP, MITCHY!!
McConnell is completely mindless and gutless. His is the face of the Swamp.
This Turtle-head has GOT TO GO. Such a statist squish!
