BY JOSEPH CHOI - 03/22/21 09:45 AM EDT
Former President Trump said in a new interview that Republicans need "stronger" and "better" leadership than Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.).
I think we need better leadership than Mitch McConnell and stronger leadership," Trump said while appearing on The Truth with Lisa Boothe" podcast.
"I mean, he can't rein in his own people. We have the Mitt Romneys of the world and, you know, the Ben Sasses of the world. These are not good for the Republican Party, the former president added, referring to Sens. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) and Ben Sasse (R-Neb.).
McConnell, who aligned with Trump while he was in the Oval Office, appeared to break with the former president after the deadly Jan. 6 Capitol breach. McConnell said in February that Trump was "practically and morally responsible for provoking the events of the day." The senator also left open the possibility that Trump, who was impeached over his role in the riot but acquitted in a Senate trial, could face civil or criminal charges.
