Donald Trump: Democrats ‘Played’ Mitch McConnell ‘Like a Fiddle’ on Reconciliation Bill
Breitbart ^ | 8 Aug 2022 | NICK GILBERTSON

Posted on 08/08/2022 2:18:32 PM PDT by SoConPubbie

Former President Donald Trump ripped Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), stating Democrats bamboozled him on the $700 billion Inflation Reduction Act.

“Mitch McConnell got played like a fiddle with the vote today by the Senate Democrats,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post on Sunday evening. “First he gave them the fake Infrastructure Bill, then Guns, never used the Debt Ceiling for negotiating purposes (gave it away for NOTHING!), and now this.”

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Senate Democrats outmaneuvered McConnell on the Inflation Reduction Act reconciliation bill after the passage of the $280 billion Creating Helpful Incentives to Produce Semiconductors (CHIPS) Act on July 28.

Breitbart News reported:

While Republicans were split on the merits of the legislation, most Republicans, including House Republican leadership, did not want to pass the CHIPS legislation if Democrats were to pursue a reconciliation bill to pass climate change, Obamacare, and other leftist priorities. Senate Republicans, with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) supporting the bill, ensured the passage of the CHIPS bill this week.

“Mitch doesn’t have a clue – he is sooo bad for the Republican Party!” Trump wrote in his post on Sunday.

On Wednesday, McConnell appeared on Fox New Channel’s Special Report and told host Brett Baier that he welcomes a challenger in a potential contest for GOP Senate leader.

The best news I could imagine is that McDorkell and the Pelosi thing collide in a head-on with no survivers.

Yea, the Senate didn’t stop anything. Eventually the Dems got what they wanted. Not much opposition. There was much more opposition, from both parties, to Trump. I hope the Dems hold the Senate and the arepukes take the house where they can send fake “right wing” bills through for the next 2 years and nothing gets done. Don’t want McConnell to lead the Senate.

Mitch doesn’t get played, he gets paid. The United States of America is for sale and the UniParty reaps what is sows for this nation — destruction.

The question isn’t will Gop retake the Senate
the important question is has the primary wins
by the MAGA movement won enough anti Turdle
Senators plus retirees who supported the Turdle
made it likely He won’t have enough votes to
be leader?

We had 4 years of Trump and didn’t get rid of Obamacare
Trump had to scrounge for border wall funding
and I blame Mitch for never letting Trump get
a chance for Recess appointments.

Mitch never put an end to Russia Russia BS.

Yep. People forget that Democrats destroying America causes donations to the republican party to increase. Mitch McConnell Probably enjoys the damage Democrats are causing as they try to push the country socialist because the republican party is making money hand over fist. McConnell doesn’t care about the country, he cares about the party.
