Donald Trump and Mitch McConnell have clashed over the years.
Their feud is still running as hot as ever.
And Donald Trump revealed what was the worst day of Mitch McConnell’s life.
Donald Trump exposes a painful decision that Mitch McConnell made
There is no love lost between former President Donald Trump and RINO Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY).
Trump has slammed him for signing off on government spending bills that funded all of President Joe Biden’s and Vice President Kamala Harris’ political priorities.
The former President revealed one of the most painful political moments of McConnell’s political career during one of his final rallies of the campaign.
“They caused inflation. They screwed up my energy policy and the prices went way up and everything else, real simple,” Trump explained. “In addition to that, they way overspent. They got trillions and trillions of dollars.”
“Hopefully, we get rid of Mitch McConnell pretty soon, because he helped them,” Trump added.
He noted that McConnell endorsed him after he wrapped up the Republican Presidential Primary this spring.
“Can you believe he endorsed me?” Trump asked, which caused the crowd to burst out into laughter. “Boy that must have been a painful day in his life.”
“He provided the necessary votes,” Trump continued. “What a disgrace.”
McConnell put out a statement in March endorsing him after his route in the Super Tuesday states.
“It should come as no surprise that as nominee, he will have my support,” McConnell said in a statement.
Mitch McConnell’s days in leadership are coming to a close
McConnell announced in February that he was stepping down as the Senate Republican leader after 17 years.
“One of life’s most underappreciated talents is to know when it’s time to move on to life’s next chapter,” McConnell said in February. “So I stand before you today . . . to say that this will be my last term as Republican leader of the Senate.”
He became the longest-serving party leader in Senate history after he took over for former Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-TN) in 2007.
Trump and McConnell’s falling out became worse after the events of January 6.
The pair didn’t speak for years afterward.
McConnell called Trump “stupid,” “ill-tempered,” and “a despicable human being” behind closed doors after the 2020 Election, according to the new biography about him titled The Price of Power.
Trump ripped the Senate Minority Leader in 2021 in a statement.
“Mitch is a dour, sullen, and unsmiling hack, and if Republicans are going to stay with him, they will not win again,” Trump said at the time.
McConnell criticized the former President and his political movement in his biography.
“I know I can’t influence the broad Republican Party, but I have influence here, and I’m going to use it because I think this is important to the country, and I think the MAGA movement is completely wrong,” McConnell stated.
Republican Senate leadership will undergo a dramatic change without having Mitch McConnell running the caucus with an iron fist for the first time in nearly two decades.
