It doesn’t exempt him. But he made those disrespectful comments toward Trump as if the POTUS deserves no respect from the senate, the senate majority leader, and a guy who’s granted an enormous favor from POTUS by having his wife placed in a powerful job
McConnell is not going to be fired. Nor is his wife. They’re going to continue being granted favors. He gets away with being super powerful because he has a weak physical appearance
He is despicable for insulting Trump. The NYT and Schumer and SNL we expect this from. That many, including we freepers expect I from McConnell goes a long way to explaining how trump got into the White House the republican congress is terrible. Any insult or protest toward Trump is an insult toward the Electrolux process. He won by a majority of the electorate. McConnell, bully. The bully turtle
McConnell’s comments were a red flag to me as well but I think he is trying to calm down the Senate GOPe to get their votes for confirmations & coming legislation.
There is so much hash being slung in the Senate they may even believe what McConnell’s saying. If not they can still use it as cover when they need to defend voting to support Trump based policies (to their donors/constituents/Never Trump collegues.
His wife should be fired, and he should be marginalized!
At this juncture of our history, ALL Republicans should be on board with President Trump and the American people.
If they cannot jump on the Trump Train, they need to be shoved to the side!
Lead, follow or get out of the way!
