McConnell pushes back on Trump over Hezbollah and Netanyahu: ‘I can’t disagree more’
The Hill ^ | 10/17/2023 | ALEXANDER BOLTON

Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) on Tuesday pushed back hard on former President Trump’s description of Hezbollah as “very smart.”

McConnell also defended Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as a “great leader” when asked about Trump’s criticism of the Israeli leader.

“I can’t disagree more,” McConnell told reporters when asked about Trump’s assertion that Hezbollah is “very smart.”

McConnell called Hamas “a terrorist organization just like Hamas.”

The Senate Republican leader also praised Netanyahu when asked about Trump’s criticism of the Israeli leader for intelligence lapses ahead of Hamas’s attack on more than Israeli towns around the Gaza Strip.

Anyone who doubts that hezbollah has “very smart’ leaders is dangerously underestimating them. It is never a good idea to underestimate the enemy.

Did Mitch McCrooked who has been in the senate longer than dirt mention the US funding these raghead nazis use to arm themselves and kill civilians?

I didn’t think so 😏

Only the hardcore establishment rinos still support Mitch at this point. Mitch needs to go and take all of them with him.

He can’t harm Trump because we support him and know Mitch is a Never-Trump POS. We couldn’t care less what he says obout anything anymore.

Trump is working right out of Sun Tzu militray strategies, praising your enemy. Mitch’s peabrain can’t comprehend such logic.

Hezbollah as “very smart”

Pssst Mitch McConnell who didn’t see them coming?.

Even the rain man had answers to some things.

Trump knows how people think and it scares the hell out of the left.

Saying they are smart is not the same as being on their side.

Those Germans were pretty damn smart. They had jets and rockets and damn good tanks and artillery, better than us. Saying that truth doesn’t mean we are on their side.

McConnell, continually proving why he is an old, brain-addled and incompetent fool. Hezbollah is still around and very dangerous, plus controlling half of Beirut/Lebanon and intimidating the other half. And heavily armed.

Time to put this putz out to pasture on a farm, preferably the Funny Farm.

Mitch the Chinese b$tch holds responsibility for every bad thing that’s happened since January 2021.
If he had done the honest, honorable and responsible thing after the fraudulent 2020 election and supported the leader of his own party, there would not have been an attack by murderous cult members on Israel. There would not be a war in Ukraine. We would not be losing 100,00 people every year to drug overdoses, there would not be an invasion by the third world at our borders.
Every bad thing that is happening or has happened in the last three years can be laid at the feet of this corrupt, treasonous phony ‘conservative’ republican.
One word from this clown masquerading as a statesman would have stopped the communist takeover of America.
One of the very first tasks on President Trump’s agenda when he’s sworn in for the second time should be an immediate investigation and forensic audit into the kickbacks, bribes and payoffs made to the RINO class republicans in the
Senate, and use the word treason as often as possible to get it through the public’s mind what these dirtbags have been up to, ostensibly on our behalf.
Ask this simple question; “What were you worth when you first came to DC to represent your state, and what are you worth now?”.
US Senators are in the pocket of foreign governments and corporations, and very few have the best interests of America in their hearts.
Repeal the unconstitutional 17th Amendment.
