'Dumb son of a bitch': Trump rips McConnell at Mar-a-Lago

quote:

Former President Donald Trump ripped into Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell before a Republican National Committee donor retreat Saturday evening, deriding him as a “dumb son of a bitch.”

Trump veered off his prepared text during a roughly 50-minute speech before several hundred well-heeled GOP donors at his Mar-a-Lago resort in South Florida, saying that he was “disappointed” in former Vice President Mike Pence, calling last year's presidential election election a “fraud” and mocking Dr. Anthony Fauci.


quote:

The former president spent several minutes tearing into McConnell, saying that he didn’t do enough to defend him during the February impeachment trial. At one point, three people familiar with the remarks said, Trump called the Senate GOP leader a “dumb son of a bitch.”

Trump also went after McConnell’s wife, former Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao, for resigning her cabinet post after the Jan. 6 insurrection.


quote:

Much of Trump's Saturday night speech was aimed at relitigating the election results, on which the former president has remained fixated. At one point he said he remained disappointed with Pence for not doing more to stop the certification of the election, which he called “rigged.”

Trump’s ongoing criticism of Pence has created a rift in their relationship. While several other potential 2024 Republican hopefuls made the trek to South Florida for the event, Pence did not.

The former president also savaged Fauci, saying that he gave him bad advice. He poked fun of Fauci for botching a first pitch at last year’s opening day game for the Washington Nationals.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who spoke before Trump, also went after Fauci, sources said.

And there’s your journalism in 2021 folks. And I agree with him if he actually said that.

He’ll get criticized for trying to divide the Republican Party but really all he’s doing is giving certain representatives a heads up that they will face challenges for more trump-like candidates come election time

“Next time will be any different?”

After seeing the lawlessness of the left, he will take the gloves off.

Love his policies, but it’s painful to listen to him speak now. He’s like one of my children when they were young and didn’t get their way. They would whine and complain.

I understand the situation is critical, but the time for talk is past.

The problem is Mitch isn't dumb. He knows exactly what he is doing.

Seems pretty clear that his targets are people on the right.

Most politicians tell the truth on how they really feel to very few quietly.

With Trump what most would whisper, he just says out loud.

I like that.
