President Trump just completely dropped the hammer on RINO Sen. Mitch McConnell after he voted against several of Trump nominees.
Mitch McConnell was the only Republican senator to vote against Tulsi Gabbard’s confirmation as DNI yesterday, and one of only three Republicans to vote against Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s confirmation as HHS today.
“I feel sorry for Mitch,” President Trump told reporters, referring to McConnell as a “bitter guy.”
“He’s not equipped, mentally,” President Trump added, “He wasn’t equipped 10 years ago, mentally, in my opinion. He let the Republican Party go to hell. If I didn’t come along, the Republican Party wouldn’t even exist right now. Mitch McConnell never really had it.”

TRUMP: I feel sorry for Mitch. He's not equipped to be leader, mentally. He never was. Under him, the Republican Party was going to H*ll. McConnell never really had it. He had votes because he gave money to senators. I was… pic.twitter.com/uOS3Ul4mAN

The Hill said:
McConnell issued a blistering indictment of Kennedy, a longtime anti-vaccine activist, saying he has watched how vaccines can save lives. McConnell was the only Republican to vote no on Kennedy’s nomination, despite other senators indicating they had lingering concerns about Kennedy’s vaccine views.
McConnell was also the lone GOP no vote against Tulsi Gabbard as director of national intelligence and one of only three Republicans who opposed Pete Hegseth as Defense secretary.
Kennedy was sworn in during a ceremony in the Oval Office later on Thursday.
“I feel sorry for Mitch. And I was one of the people that led — he wanted to go to the end, and he wanted to stay leader,” Trump said Thursday.
He added, “He’s not equipped, mentally. He wasn’t equipped 10 years ago, mentally, in my opinion. He let the Republican Party go to hell. If I didn’t come along, the Republican Party wouldn’t even exist right now. Mitch McConnell never really had it.”
Trump said McConnell was able to raise money as leader, so he had “a little loyalty” from GOP senators because he could give them a boost in campaigns.
“Senators would call me, and they’d say, ‘He wants to give me $20, $25 million. Can I take it?’ I’d say, ‘Take the money,’” Trump recalled.
President Trump has made it clear that he’s not giving RINOs any slack this time around.
For Old Mitch, I think it would be wise to retire already…
These folks are thinking along the same lines:
Yep fact! Mitch’s time serving is over – he needs to retire or Kentucky recall him!

Mitch McConnell has lost his touch and needs to step aside. It’s time for fresh leadership in the GOP that truly represents our values and moves us forward. Let’s make the party strong again!

I totally agree with Trump. McConnell was never cut out for leadership and has been dragging the GOP down. It’s time for fresh, strong leadership within the party. Trump’s influence has shown McConnell his place, and it’s clear McConnell’s time is up.
