CFG-President David McIntosh said during a press conference on Wednesday that Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell failed to make the November midterms an indictment of President Joe Biden and Senate Democrats.
One reporter asked McIntosh what McConnell’s standing will be now that it remains unclear if Senate Republicans will take back the Senate majority. He also mentioned that Sen. Josh Hawley said he would not support McConnell for Senate majority leader.
McIntosh said he does not believe that McConnell would face a serious leadership challenge; however, he said that McConnell failed to present a case for Senate Republicans as they now try to take over Congress’s upper chamber.
McIntosh, a former congressman who was elected under the 1994 Republican wave, said that many newer Senate Republicans elected in 2018 and 2020 are now getting “restless” after not being in the majority for years.
He said, “They don’t like serving in the minority. And they don’t see the vision of getting back to the majority. And I think they’ll quietly distance themselves from their support from it.”
McIntosh explained, “Mitch failed to make this a referendum on why Republicans were better than the Biden agenda and the Democrats, and he knocked down anybody’s efforts to have a platform to run on.”
McIntosh said that McConnell’s “style of campaigning” is “spend money and go back and use that money to try to get yourself elected. It didn’t work in a lot of these close races.” He added that many Republican candidates often do better when there is a cohesive Republican vision, such as the 1994 Contract with America that got Republicans the House Republican majority.
Ahead of the midterms, McConnell has declined to release a legislative agenda that would give voters a vision of what a Senate Republican majority would look like.

Really? And was has McConnell done? He blamed the Tea Party in 2010. What is McConnell’s message, around which GOP Senate candidates are encouraged to campaign? There is none. He does control the NRSC, doesn’t he? https://t.co/kpiOPrFvmZ— Mark R. Levin (@marklevinshow) August 15, 2022
Mitch McConnell Failed The Nation!
This UniParty-hack SOB has snatched RAT defeat from the jaws of victory so many times. It’s time for this hack to be loonnnggggg GONE.
5 million illegals
87,000 new IRS goons
Record inflation
A crippled energy system
The LBGT forced on schools
No national ads on any of it but millions sent to rescue Murk
Politics aside...he is a weird looking dude.
Like maybe he is into cross dressing or similar.
.
Republicans failed to criticize Biden as a failure and an incompetent, corrupt man.
.
He was more interested in preserving the Good-Old-Boy Deep State and shafting president Trump.
Yep, he needs to go.
Because he didn’t want to, his goal was ending MAGA once and for all.
Correct!
We had so much to run on this election, regarding the totalitarians during this pandemic, destroyed economy and retirement funds, WWIII proxy war, compromised and dysfunctional first family and a horrible VP, energy independence destroyed, vastly weak and woke military, corrupt DOJ, corrupt CIA, wide open borders, Afghanistan withdrawal debacle, CRT and Transgenderism forced in public schools, etc, etc.
Erick Erickson has been on the radio all day today defending McConnell...and Murkowski.
DING! DING! DING!
Trump did NOT lose Tuesday’s red wave; McConnell put up every wave baffle he could to ensure the Republicans did NOT win on Tuesday...because he is a POS and is afraid to actually have to be a leader and make decisions that could hurt his UNIPARTY friends - PERIOD!!
But just ask half of the Freepers and they will swear it was all Trump’s fault!!
I bet every one of those anti-Trump Freepers loves Mr. Turtle!
