Former President Trump on Wednesday called on Republicans to boot Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) from his post as Senate minority leader, accusing the senator of being a “pawn for the Democrats.”
In a statement, Trump cited a Wednesday story from The Federalist about McConnell and his wife Elaine Chao’s alleged ties to China in calling for the senator’s ouster from his longtime leadership post.
“Mitch McConnell is not an Opposition Leader, he is a pawn for the Democrats to get whatever they want,” Trump said in his statement. “He is afraid of them, and will not do what has to be done. A new Republican Leader in the Senate should be picked immediately!”
Trump has feuded with McConnell, who he has dubbed “Old Crow,” since the Senate leader denounced the former president in Congress for his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.
Over the weekend, the former president slammed McConnell for making remarks last week about “candidate quality,” in a reference to Republicans running for Senate, a number of whom were hand-picked by Trump. McConnell has said the race for Senate control in November will be close

PDJT must know something about the FBI situation.
Trump has crossed the Rubicon. Pray for his safety and for his success in removing this traitor from his leadership position.
And if Mitch stays, then what?
In a world that still had a shred of honer and decency McTurtle would step down now and let the KY Gov. pick his replacmant. ( A Trump approved replacement of coaurse).
What if a Freeper didn’t cower and act like a squish? Then what?
What is the correlation between what Mitch does and what a Freeper does?
Great idea, not happening and of course Trump knows that. He also knows how to stay “front of the mind” with the public.
Don’t hold your breath.
93% of the Senate hates Trump, and anything he says, they will do the opposite, out of spite.
KY has a Donk governor
If you’re unable to communicate, don’t reply to me.
I want to see Mitch removed and tried for selling us out to China.
My main beef with McConnell is that he uses his well funded PAC to make RINO’s the Republican candidate in most Senate races. His continuing support of Murkowski is particularly outrageous.
Does PDJT have a better (and viable) option?
I sure hope so
I am just asking is all, thanks
Where are all of the Mitch McConnell supporters?
Defend your man. Remind us of how McConnell kept Garland off the SCOTUS. McConnell is your hero. Speak up!
But why not wait? Because you have to start to make the case, build pressure and build support. It’s not going to happen if you wait and do nothing.
I do not trust professional career politicians. We desperately need more outsiders who actually lived and worked in private sector America. It should be a law or prerequisite for running for office.

The issue in the Senate, FBi, and DoJ is - he’s only here for a few years, and we can keep him pinned down and neutralized for a few years anyway.
They run out the clock.
They feel Senators and 10 yr FBi heads are the real leaders.
They let Lindsey Graham bypass seniority (to take the chair) so he could promise to do this and that and postpone votes and growl into cameras while he was actually escorting Joe Biden into power.
