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.
Thanks for the retread alert, LWH!
Beshear stole the governship anyway, so this is nice payback.
President Trump would do well to identify all newspapers who are more conservative than not and begin grooming them to support the movement. We have so few outlets and need to strengthen the ones we have. The WSJ has given us some good press in the past and also the NY Post. There are some others.
They turned out in the North Georgia areas he visited. They did not turn out in the SouthGeorgia and coastal areas he did not visit.
You can head back to DU now.
Interesting question.
On the pubbie side my pick is Lindsey Graham for covert enemy number one.
Oh no, it was the wrong part of Georgia!!! No wonder!
Since you are new and asked...
President Donaldus Magnus Trump was and remains in the single biggest fight for the Constitutional Soul of the Nation in the History of our country.
He is a fighter, a T-Rex, a Bulldozer, an ultimate Alpha Male, in a knuckle and skull cage match to the death with:
The Globalists here and abroad
The Chinese
The Republicans
The Rinos
The National Media
The Entrenched and corrupt Deep State
The Corrupt Judiciary
And more.
And they are far more corrupt, compromised, and entrenched than when Ronaldus Maximus was POTUS.
They are all trying to destroy Trump because they know he truly is an existential threat to their plot.
He is a warrior who knows we are in a war.
This is not just an election.
It is a war to decide if we become a captive Marxist nation or become once again a nation of citizens who delegated limited powers to the government.
When Trump fights, he needs to fight.
The last thing the man in the ring needs is to be surrounded with yapping rat terriers.
Good Lord, that is some devotional you’ve got there.
And when W left office his numbers were In the low 30’s and he took the party down with by refusing to defend the ridiculous attacks.
The financial crisis had a bit more to do with his ratings than his media response tactics.
The time to strenuously contend with those who are engaged in subverting the Constitution is long overdue. And Trump is currently the most effective leader on scene who is willing to contend strenuously with the left.
And if you don’t recognize the battle we face, somethings wrong
Yes of course but you have I defend yourself. The rats know: Always on offense. Always
“ The time to strenuously contend with those who are engaged in subverting the Constitution is long overdue.

You need to consider that the GOPee at every level and in every way imaginable failed Trump and every one of his voters in the most despicable manner during the 2020 election. The majority-GOPee state legislatures failed, the USSC justices picked by the GOPee failed, the GOPee Congressmen and Senators failed, even Trump’s VP failed. People aren’t staying away because they’re looking for purity, they’re rightly being repelled by a level of treachery and duplicity perpetrated by the GOPee that is too much for most people to stomach. That doesn’t make the non-voters despicable, it’s the criminals and quisling traitors in the GOPee that are despicable! The GOPee is irredeemable! GOPee Delenda Est!
That’s only if you blithely ignore the context. Trump is merely noting how his adversaries virtually worship at the alter of what now amounts to a politically impotent and out-of-touch editorial page, not that he personally worships at the alter of a politically impotent and out-of-touch editorial page. Get it now, newbie?
