Take that bitch…
Former President Donald J. Trump unloaded on Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell on Saturday in a speech before Republican donors at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida.
During his remarks delivered to the Republican National Committee, Trump vowed to reverse the damage that McConnell did by losing the Senate and that he would tirelessly work to help the party retake control of Congress in next year’s midterm elections.
Trump also made it clear that he is still furious with the sneaky turtle who sold him out despite highly suspicious “irregularities” in multiple states last November that along with the feckless inaction by Republicans led by McConnell and ex-veep Mike Pence, cost him the White House, a rigged election that the former POTUS denounced as “bullshit”.
The Donald railed against McConnell who he blasted as a “dumb son of a bitch” as well as an ingrate; “I hired his wife. Did he ever say thank you?” Trump said.

Via Politico, “‘Dumb son of a bitch’: Trump rips McConnell at Mar-a-Lago”:
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 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.
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.
A spokesperson for McConnell, the Kentucky Republican who was just reelected to a seventh six-year term last year, didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
Conservatives cheered last week when McConnell pushed back against corporations that came out against Georgia’s new election integrity law and the relocating of the MLB All-Star Game out of Atlanta.
The Kentucky Republican showed a fire rarely seen when he issued a harsh statement in which he laid into unelected corporations for being influenced by a “fake narrative” that deliberately spread lies and for using their own power to engage in “economic blackmail to spread disinformation” and to “push bad ideas that citizens reject at the ballot box.”
McConnell, who is usually in the hip pocket of big business interests added that; “Our private sector must stop taking cues from the Outrage-Industrial Complex. Americans do not need or want big business to amplify disinformation or react to every manufactured controversy with frantic left-wing signaling.”
Then in very uncharacteristic terms for him, McConnell warned that the virtue-signaling corporations “will invite serious consequences if they become a vehicle for far-left mobs to hijack our country from outside the constitutional order,” in a call to arms against unelected corporate power.
He followed up the statement with more remarks at a press conference; “I found it completely discouraging to find a bunch of corporate CEOs getting in the middle of politics,” McConnell said Monday at a press conference in his home state. “My advice to the corporate CEOs of America is to stay out of politics. Don’t pick sides in these big fights.” He said.
But sadly and perhaps predictably, McConnell reverted to form on Wednesday when he walked back his stern rebuke like a turtle pulling its head back into the shell.

McConnell responded to a question from the media on his blistering statement; “I didn’t say that very artfully yesterday,” he said. “They’re certainly entitled to be involved in politics. They are. My principal complaint is they didn’t read the darn bill.”
He continued; “The president of the United States called the bill a Jim Crow exercise to suppress voter turnout, presumably based on race, because that’s what the Jim Crow allegation is.”
“That bastion of conservativism, the Washington Post gave the president four Pinocchios, for lying about it” said McConnell.
Before his feckless flip-flop, McConnell was spot on about companies like Coca-Cola, Delta Airlines, and dozens of others that have taken it upon themselves to dictate policy to Americans based on Joe Biden and the Democratic party’s lies that the Georgia law that makes it more difficult for them to cheat in the future to Jim Crow era segregationism.
McConnell’s climb down should serve as a reminder to Americans and specifically Trump supporters of what he really is and that is a notorious backstabber who went on the Senate floor after the failed second impeachment to accuse the former POTUS of inciting the so-called “insurrection” at the U.S. Capitol.

Ironically, McConnell was among the Republicans who refused to take a stand against the election “irregularities” in multiple Democrat-controlled states and especially Georgia that have made it necessary for new laws to be passed in order to restore voter confidence after the November disaster that cost Trump a second term and the GOP control of the Senate.
Yes, he is a dumb son of a bitch and a backstabbing bastard as well.
