Former President Trump slammed Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) in a statement Saturday, saying the Senate minority leader should attend the White House signing ceremony for the bipartisan infrastructure package passed by the House on Nov. 5.
McConnell has touted the infrastructure bill in his home state and was one of 19 Senate Republicans to vote to pass it in August.
However, McConnell said he will not attend the White House signing ceremony for the bill.
“Mitch McConnell has stated that he will not go to the signing of the ‘Non-Infrastructure’ Bill (only 11% for real Infrastructure) or, as it is sometimes called, the Elect Democrats in 2022/24 Act,” Trump said in a statement.
“Based on the fact that the Old Crow convinced many Republican Senators to vote for the Bill, greatly jeopardizing their chance of winning re-election, and that he led the way, he should go to the signing and put up with the scorn from Great Republican Patriots that are already lambasting him,” he added.
McConnell said he would not go to the signing ceremony because he has “other things I've got to do.”
Trump and McConnell were allies during the former president’s tenure, but their relationship soured after McConnell congratulated President Biden for winning the presidency in December 2020.
McConnell later lambasted Trump for the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, saying the former president was "practically and morally responsible" for it.
In his statement, Trump said McConnell has given a “lifeline” to Democrats for the 2022 midterm elections.
“It gives Biden and the Democrats a victory just as they were falling off the cliff,” Trump said. “Our Country is being destroyed while Mitch McConnell gives lifelines to those who are destroying it!”
FUMM
Well played, Donald!
“Our Country is being destroyed while Mitch McConnell gives lifelines to those who are destroying it!”
So why is Trump busy endorsing assistant Democrats who want to make China Mitch majority leader again?
Il Donaldo strikes again.
I doubt the other RINOs who voted for this expensive turd needed much “convincing”.
My theory is that McConnell thought he could get rid of Trump but keep the Senate. McConnell is a snake.
This is such a sad, sick joke.
So should ALL the Assistant Democrat Senators
Dan Sullivan (R-AK) Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV) Mike Crapo (R-ID) Roy Blunt (R-MO) Richard Burr (R-NC) Deb Fischer (R-NE) Lindsey Graham (R-SC) Rob Portman (R-OH) Thom Tillis (R-NC) Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) Jim Risch (R-ID) Chuck Grassley (R-IA) Bill Cassidy (R-LA) Kevin Cramer (R-ND) Roger Wicker (R-MS) Mitch McConnell (R-KY) John Hoeven (R-ND) Susan Collins (R-ME) Mitt Romney (R-UT)
Trump and McConnell were allies during the former president’s tenure.......NOT TRUE.
McConnell stabbed the President in the back on Soetero’s healthcare bill, the border and the budget..from Day One....and continued to do so, publicly and proudly in some instances, for four years.
If the Senate needed 20, they would have got 20. If they needed 30, they would have got 30.
More Kabuki theater from DC and we keep on buying the tickets.
I could not agree more. MM should attend the signing ceremony but won’t because he doesn’t want to remind people that he helped push this through. In fact had he stood firm this would have failed. He’s responsible for this monstrosity which will horrifically affect our grandchildren.
Amnesty Senator Hoeven is up in 2022.
So are Murkowsky, Crapo and Grassley.
So far Trump has endorsed Assistant Democrat Grassley.
He’s against Murkowsky being re-elected, but we’ll see if he endorses Crapo and Amnesty Senator Hoeven.
Right on President Trump. Right on.
Mr President, the turtle said he isn’t going to the Signing Ceremony, why don’t you throw the Turtle a Big Signing Party to Celebrate him bailing out Brandon, Pelosi and Schumer
McConnell is a pimp.
LOL. That would make voters (us) his hoes.
McConnell is a traitor, like Lindsey Graham, Richard Burr, Thom Tillis.
EXCLAMATION POINT
It is time to replace the RNC leadership starting with McConnell and McCarthy. They have wasted enough of Taxpayer’s money.
