'Always playing right into their hands!': Trump publicly criticizes Mitch McConnell for holding hearings during Republican convention
The Independent ^ | Aug 19 2020 | Chris Riotta

Posted on 08/19/2020 9:16:28 PM PDT by rintintin

Donald Trump has lashed out at Republican leaders on Capitol Hill for moving forward with hearings over controversial changes to the US Postal Service during next week’s Republican National Convention.

The president wrote in a tweet: “Why are Republicans allowing the Democrats to have ridiculous Post Office hearings on Saturday & Monday, just before and during our Convention. Let them hold them NOW (during their Convention) or after our Convention is over.”

The same Democrats who can’t address the economic relief package because they need to go on break.

Mitch is stupid, but he’s also a Deep State puppet who is completely compromised. His Deep State masters ordered him to do this during the GOP convention week, and like any bought off stooge subject to blackmail, he’s gonna do what he’s told!

You mean different from the motive he has had for the last 4 years of F* Trump? mcconnell is part of the gang of 8, he has known whats going on from the get-go. He's as bad as schiff for brains.

Make lemons into lemonade, Mr. President! What a GREAT contrast to what we stand for! You and the other convention speakers talking about a positive direction and future for our country, juxtaposed against the sniveling Demonrats -called back from vacation!- holding ridiculous hearings when they haven’t even bothered to pass a much needed relief bill during this pandemic!!!

No; Mitch is ideologically aligned, not bought off and compromised as if he really were some kind of conservative at any time of his life.

Republicans in Senate want Biden.

They could’ve easily exposed Biden and gave Criminal Referrals to Barr, in 30 days.

They want Biden and they’ll be back to making money in questionable ways and knowing Biden returns the favor and has their back.

They are running out the clock on the Trump Presidency.

Id prefer TURDle to lose in Nov, but it would be better if he choked on a hotdog, and the gov appointed a rebuke successor.

Guys, isn’t it possible that Trump is playing rope-a-dope on this one?

In a hearing in the Senate, a Republican will chair it, so they are in control.

Maybe the idea is to meet the issue head on, show the public that the USPS controversy is another witchhunt.
