The typically mild-mannered and tight-lipped Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell privately laced into former President Donald Trump and sobbed during the aftermath of the Jan. 6, 2021 storming of the Capitol, an upcoming book claims.
McConnell (R-Ky.), 82, slammed Trump, 78, as “stupid,” “ill-tempered,” a “narcissist” and a “despicable human being” behind closed doors toward the end of his administration, according to a preview of the book “The Price of Power” from the Associated Press.
“It’s not just the Democrats who are counting the days” until Trump’s White House departure, McConnell told associates in confidence, per the AP.
“[Trump’s conduct] only underscores the good judgment of the American people. They’ve had just enough of the misrepresentations, the outright lies almost on a daily basis, and they fired him.”
“For a narcissist like him,” McConnell went on, “that’s been really hard to take, and so his behavior since the election has been even worse, by far, than it was before, because he has no filter now at all.”
The Senate GOP leader had also been agitated by Trump’s spewing of dubious election claims ahead of the Georgia runoff, where Republicans ultimately lost control of the upper chamber.
“This despicable human being,” McConnell later fumed about Trump, accusing him of delaying a COVID-19 relief package at the time. “[Trump] is sitting on this package of relief that the American people desperately need.”
Publicly, McConnell split from Trump during the certification of his 2020 electoral defeat, warning against taking “a poisonous path where only the winners of election actually accept the results.”
Several weeks later, despite opposing the second effort to impeach Trump, McConnell held the former president “practically and morally responsible for provoking the events” of Jan. 6, 2021

Mitch should crawl back into his shell.
Just like clockwork, Bob “worse than Watergate” Woodward is releasing a book attacking a Republican.
Marble mouth, the Ballchinian.
An AP book, per the AP? They are nothing but liars on so many things, I will take their “say so” with a ton of salt. They only sow division.
LOL- After hating on B!tch McConnell for a decade, he is now the liberal media’s latest useful idiot...
“...Tromp BROKE me!...”
I bet that RINO didn’t shed a single tear when liberal occupied the Wisconsin capital for over a MONTH!!!
F him. As un American as could be his Chinese wife also.
Swampers they are beyond a disgrace
Mitch has my permission to die.
Well, after all it was worse than 9/11 and Pearl Harbor combined.
“Mitch has my permission to die.”
I agree. Are you reading this McTurtle? Go towards the light you ChiCom tool.
So Mitch is oficially climbing onto the Pelosi hoax story.
Did Kinzinger hold him while he wept?
“mild-mannered and tight-lipped”
He’s a homo?
Any man who cries over something like that needs to grow a pair and get therapy. Example Adam Kinzinger.
“a poisonous path where only the winners of election actually accept the results.”
Where was he during Sore-Loserman?
Sad that Mitch is a traitor, ultimately.
Sister in law a communist party member for a foreign country, whose spoils he shared.
He’d still be “leader” if they hadn’t killed her by remote control.
Not to mention the London blitz, Hiroshima or nagasaki.
Musk audit incoming.
He gives turtles a bad name
