    Let's see what Republicans have to say about Trump. We will start with Mitch McConnell.

    Mitch McConnell unloads on 'narcissist' Trump as 'despicable human being': new biography

    Republican Sen. Mitch McConnell called Donald Trump a "narcissist" and a "despicable human being," among other things, according to an upcoming biography.

    McConnell, who has publicly disagreed with Trump on several occasions but largely stuck by the former president's side, is reported to have made the remarks following the events of Jan. 6 in 2021. At the time of the riot, McConnell publicly condemned Trump's actions, but said he shouldn't be impeached for it because it would be up to the justice system to punish him for spurring the attack on the Capitol.

    Now, the Associated Press is unveiling specific comments McConnell purportedly made about Trump in private.

    "Mitch McConnell said after the 2020 election that then-President Donald Trump was 'stupid as well as being ill-tempered,' a 'despicable human being' and a 'narcissist,' according to excerpts from a new biography of the Senate Republican leader that will be released this month," according to the report. "McConnell made the remarks in private as part of a series of personal oral histories that he made available to Michael Tackett, deputy Washington bureau chief of The Associated Press. Tackett’s book, 'The Price of Power,' draws from almost three decades of McConnell’s recorded diaries and from years of interviews with the normally reticent Kentucky Republican."

    The report continues:

    "The animosity between Trump and McConnell is well known — Trump once called McConnell 'a dour, sullen, and unsmiling political hack.' But McConnell's private comments are by far his most brutal assessment of the former president and could be seized on by Democrats before the Nov. 5 election. The biography will be released Oct. 29, one week before Election Day that will decide if Trump returns to the White House."

    McConnell has still endorsed Trump for his White House bid.

  2. And that's why he's going to hell. He knew better but he figured he could play chicken with democracy in an effort to get what he wanted politically.

    The Turtle hasn't spent a dime to help MAGA. MAGA is the real enemy of globalism.
    Mitch speaks for China, where his wallet and heart strings are tied.
    So China thinks Trump is the lesser of two evil's.
    This means China really wants to avoid war, so the Kamala puppet will be stymied by China.

    He loses, somebody else pays. But maybe not anymore though he is close to life's finish line. @Buy1Sell2 rates this as Great Success!

    McConnell announced his exit as the Senate’s GOP leader in February, saying he does not plan on running for another term. McConnell plans to serve out the rest of his current term until 2026.

    This despicable old fart can say whatever he likes. Add Liz to the same bucket. Nobody cares.

  8. You’re an idiot. That man did more for the Republican Party, by hook or by crook, over the course of his long political career than almost anyone else. Not that it pleases me, because I think he’s an amoral turd. But it should please you because of the lengths he went to get things done for the Right. You’re just too stupid to realize it.

    Your problem is that, as bad as he is, even McConnell has limits to what he’s willing to do.

    What? I do not hear you, schmuck. By the way, why are you so nervous and loud? I know, I know. Things are going sour for your liberal ass. Poor baby.
