Trump calls McConnell 'disaster,' says GOP needs new leadership
Fox News ^ | 12/19/21 | Jessica Chasmar

Posted on 12/19/2021 8:20:26 AM PST by conservative98

Former President Donald Trump said Sunday that Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is a "disaster" and that the Republican Party is desperately in need of new leadership.

During an appearance on Fox News’ "Sunday Morning Futures" from his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Fla., Trump told host Maria Bartiromo that McConnell made a mistake by allowing President Biden's bipartisan infrastructure law to pass in the Senate.

"I call it un-frastructure, not infrastructure. It's only 9% infrastructure," the former president said.

"There was no way that should have been passed. It should have been 100% for infrastructure," he continued. "So what’s happening is, we had a thing called the debt ceiling, and he could have used that to win everything, and he chose not to."

"Mitch McConnell’s a disaster. The Republicans have to get a new leader," he said.

Trump added that Congress does not need any more "Mitch McConnell-type guys" and that voters should elect "tougher people" to represent conservatives in the 2022

China Mitch is a wholly owned subsidiary of the CCP.

When the US Government finally passes a bill that clearly states that ANY BILL in either chamber can be ONLY a SINGLE ITEM BILL-—Then & ONLY THEN will we see an end to these bills that have so many hidden items & meanings.

SINGLE ITEM ONLY——Cannot happen soon enough.

The leadership reflects the majority of the members.

Mitch’s bitches made him leader.

Crapo, Grassley, Hoeven, Lankford, Lee, Moran, Murkowsky, Rubio, Scott, Thune and Young all need to be primaried in 2022, even if Trump endorses them.

We will never MAGA by re-electing Assistant Democrats.

Trump has to stop endorsing Assistant Democrats.

He endorsed McConnell, Grahamnesty, Tillis and others who undermined his entire term in 2020.

Not a bad idea but do you really think Congress will actually vote a law proscribing term limits for themselves???

Everybody complains about Congress yet people continue to re-elect their Congressional representatives. Most voters are not really paying attention to politics and only vote for the candidate who’s name they recognize or who’s party affiliation they support.

I wonder how many on this site that complain about Congress have actually tried to support and work for a candidate that is running against their own Congressional Representatives and Senators?? My guess is very very few.

It really doesn’t make much difference who is President since Congress controls the money. So you want change then vote out incumbents in Congress and put new blood in there. otherwise we will continue down the road we are on....old out of touch geriatrics making laws and staying well past their time so they can hang on to the power they have.

Trump is just giving out some red meat to GOP voters because he is busy endorsing assistant Democrat RINOs who he knows will make China Mitch majority leader again if they can.

Because he had to. Your alternative was to endorse the Democrat and elect more Marxist Democrats.

Elect “tougher people” to represent conservatives in the 2022.

Spot on it’s the ONLY way this mess can be cleaned up.

Mitch and all the other Republican leadership should be replaced immediately. Mitch is just covering for his wife who is in the large shipping family operating out of China. Mitch has been bought and paid for by the CCP....

McConnell is a creature.of.the Senate, but he's the single reason why we have the Supreme Court and so many other seats in federal courts. And him holding on to every single GOP Senator against BBB is the only reason Manchin matters at all.

I wish GOP circular firing squads weren't so popular.
