President Donald Trump denounced Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell Tuesday as an 'unsmiling political hack' – days after the Republican party's most senior elected official voted to acquit Trump of inciting the Capitol riot but then blasted his conduct in an excoriating speech.
Trump blamed McConnell, whose office sits steps from where a large group of rioters were arrested on January 6, for causing the loss of two GOP Senate seats. Many GOP consultants and some elected officials have blamed Trump's own election overturn effort for costing the party control of the Senate.
'The Republican Party can never again be respected or strong with political 'leaders' like Sen. Mitch McConnell at its helm,' Trump began in a letter with his new stationary as the '45th President of the United States.
'McConnell's dedication to business as usual, status quo policies, together with his lack of political insight, wisdom, skill, and personality, has rapidly driven him from Majority Leader to Minority Leader, and it will only get worse,' he wrote.
'The Democrats and Chuck Schumer play McConnell like a fiddle—they've never had it so good—and they want to keep it that way! We know our America First agenda is a winner, not McConnell's Beltway First agenda or Biden's America Last.
McConnell is the most powerful member of the Senate, although his effort to navigate impeachment suggested he may have lacked the ability to cross the majority of his conference who was inclined to stick with Trump.
One fellow Republican, Sen. Ron Johnson, even denied this week that there was an armed insurrection in the Capitol.

TOTALLY AGREE with you, President Trump!!
Trump left out that Mitch is a homo.
Winning! He make me laugh. Bet turtle don’t wanna go the Kentucky hunting.
Lies by the press. There was no "armed insurrection" at the Capital. As far as anything I've seen reported the only people with arms at the capital were the capital police and lawmakers.
mcconnell has thrown himself on the sword to help biden transfer America’s leadership and wealth to china.
Same here!!
MY President speaks for ME!
CCP M!tch sure as heck doesn’t :-(
He also mentions the CCP connection in his letter! WOW!
And a CHI-COM to boot!!
ARMED by ASS!!
as far as I know all of our political leaders in the House Senate and White House are at a minimum partially if not wholly owned by the Chinese Communist party.
That crazy Russian was right when he said America would fall from within. It just wasn’t Russia that did it
McCain and Romney were too.
Ask McConnell when the last time was he voted Republican for President and the last time he voted for a Republican who WON the White House.
If it’s 10, 15, 20 years, how does he call himself a Republican?
As far as I know not a single person has been charged for carrying a weapon in the Capitol.
I love it.
POTUS is calling out CCP Mitch, and M!tch’s connections, but good.
Here. We. Go!
There wasn’t an armed insurrection at the capital though. It was a riot at worse.
I like calling him Myth McConnell. So many people were
fooled by the tottering old fool, because he facilitated
judges being seated.
Wonder how many of them he knew were bad ones?
Over the next few decades, we’ll find out.
Unfortunately, McConnell isn’t going anywhere any time
soon because the Democrat governor of Kentucky will
just replace him with another Leftist if Chyna Mitch
resigns.
46 ain’t even home!
“Armed insurrection?”. An outright LIE!! However, if there is to be an armed insurrection it needs to begin with burning down the Fascist Media.
