On Thursday afternoon, President Donald Trump released another statement bashing Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, who he previously described as a “dour, sullen, and unsmiling political hack”. In the latest statement, responding to false accusations from the Wall Street Journal that he is responsible for the loss of two Republican Senate seats in Georgia, lays the blame squarely on Republican Governor Brian Kemp and McConnell.
Initially responding to The Wall Street Journal, President Trump wrote “The Wall Street Journal editorial page continues, knowingly, to fight for globalist policies such as bad trade deals, open borders, and endless wars that favor other countries and sell out our great American workers, and they fight for RINOS that have so badly hurt the Republican Party. That’s where they are and that’s where they will always be. Fortunately, nobody cares much about The Wall Street Journal editorial anymore.” He added, “They have lost great credibility.”
President Trump then sought to “set the record straight” on why the Republican Party lost the two Georgia Senate seat. “First, Republicans did not turn out to vote because they were so angry and disappointed with Georgia Republican leadership and Governor Kemp for failing to stand up to Stacey Abrams and the disastrous Consent Decree that virtually eliminated signature verification requirements across the state (and much worse),” President Trump wrote, which he says led to “a rigged election.”
Then, President Trump proceeded to explain how McConnell – the leader of the Republican Party in the Senate – bungled the race by refusing to recognize political realities.
“Second, Senator Mitch McConnell’s refusal to go above $600 per person on the stimulus check payments when the two Democrat opponents were touting $2,000 per person in ad after ad. This latter point was used against our Senators and the $2,000 will be approved anyway by the Democrats who bought the Georgia election—and McConnell let them do it!” President Trump added, “Even more stupidly, the National Republican Senatorial Committee spent millions of dollars on ineffective TV ads starring Mitch McConnell, the most unpopular politician in the country, who only won in Kentucky because President Trump endorsed him. He would have lost badly without this endorsement.”
President Trump also included a graphic which clearly illustrates how McConnell’s poll performance dramatically increased at precisely the time President Trump endorsed him using his Twitter account on June 19, 2020. The chart also shows a second boost for McConnell after President Trump recorded a robocall endorsing McConnell on October 31, 2020.
Sen. Lindsey Graham, a strong ally of McConnell and lukewarm ally of President Trump, recently traveled to the President’s Mar-A-Lago estate in Florida for the purpose of convincing President Trump to abandon his feud with McConnell, despite McConnell generating the ill will when he repeatedly accused President Trump of inciting an insurrection on January 6. It appears Graham was unsuccessful.
President Trump also noted that McConnell cannot speak authoritatively on China, as he has strong familial ties to the communist country. McConnell’s family controls a shipping magnate that, while nominally based in the United States, exclusively sails with flags from foreign countries. Additionally, McConnell’s net worth dramatically increased alongside the fortunes of this shipping company.
McConnell is also willing to work to serve the Biden regime’s agenda. Recently, he confirmed that he will green light the Senate confirmation of Biden’s Attorney General nominee, Merrick Garland, who has sought to curtail the Second Amendment for over 20 years.
Caro’s original:
CarthaGOP delenda est.
Back to you needing some crackers. LOL The Wall Street Journal is one of the largest newspapers in the United States by circulation. 2.834 million subscribers with additional couple of million online subscriptions.
Pelosi and Schumer are still there in office while Trump is golfing in Mar-a-Lago. The Marxocrats may be degenerate and repugnant but they always wind up “winning” and calling the shots in the end. GOPee Delenda Est!
At this point I don’t care if every incumbent Republican Senator loses their seat, sometimes you just have to blow up the team.
You’re sorta right. But it’s CATO.
Welcome to FR
Loeffler would have won her race in November without the runoff if Doug Collins wasn’t on the ballot.
Thanks!
I must’ve misread where I thought he said: “....Nobody cares much about The Wall Street Journal editorial anymore.”
He’s a counter puncher..
He already has a record.
Don’t place him in a position where it’s easy for the Left to
toy with his future record.
He’ll be back soon enough, if he wants to be.
What’s he counterpunching against? A toothless, inconsequential opponent?
“... but everyone needs a hobby.”
Ain’t that the truth
I care a lot. I want them gone and I want them to feel hell burning through their senate chairs every time they try to sit down.
How do you get to be a senator with that degree of political cluelessness. Hold muh beer and watch me get rid of Trump and take over his base. Well they lost their quarter the mechanical bull gored them a new AH.
He should have said that most thinking people don't care for the opinions of the WSJ anymore.
At one time, the WSJ was the go to place to get good op-eds. Not anymore.
So who’s the most traitorous politician in America?
Hyperbole (common sense should have applied). So yes, you did. A lot of Trump’s attacks consist of hyperbole for affect (and I love it like millions of others). It’s paart of how he fights. Maybe, you are just now paying attention? Or did you just want to take a cheap shot at the man?
It is evident you don’t like him.
Sounds like you don’t belong here.
Lindsey Graham wonders why everybody is pointing at him right now.
As Benedict Arnold found out, when you are a traitor, you are despised by both sides and a tool by at least one.
And Benedict Arnold genuinely felt he had been wronged. McConnell’s traitorous behavior is motivated and driven by greed.
