Trump calls for McConnell to be ousted as GOP leader 'immediately'

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Former President Trump on Wednesday called on Republicans to boot Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) from his post as Senate minority leader, accusing the senator of being a “pawn for the Democrats.”

In a statement, Trump cited a Wednesday story from The Federalist about McConnell and his wife Elaine Chao’s alleged ties to China in calling for the senator’s ouster from his longtime leadership post.

“Mitch McConnell is not an Opposition Leader, he is a pawn for the Democrats to get whatever they want,” Trump said in his statement. “He is afraid of them and will not do what has to be done. A new Republican Leader in the Senate should be picked immediately!”

Trump has feuded with McConnell, who he has dubbed “Old Crow,” since the Senate leader denounced the former president in Congress for his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.

Can we just lock these two in a cage and throw away the key?

1. We have an actual undeniable fascist party in America. The GOP, it is too far to the right

for Mitch McConnell.

This is bad.

I see WI has gerrymandered the state into a certain end of democracy there, watching Ari's show today.

2. A turtle and a mushroom.. A perfect match!

13. That's my favorite Joni Mitchell album

Letterman joke. I haven’t told that in YEARS! Thanks.

[brush]

3. trump still doesn't know how it works. He can't just...

snapped his fingers and it get done. Repub senators are as leary at crossing Mcturtle as they are of trump.

[certainot]

29. especially with limbaugh gone. trump had him attacking mcconnel but then trump killed the horse he

rode in on by getting him to miss and delay his lung cancer treatments so he could keep excusing and rationalizing trumps crime and ignorance and attacking those like McConnell.

trump is fucked without limbaugh

33. TFG holds no office, he doesn't get a vote. Hs he learned nothing yet about how things work??

I'm not a fan of McConnell, but I don't get a vote, either...

5. Gee. . . . Who does DearLeaderTrump endorse . . .Cancun Cruz or Runaway Hawley?

Choices choices!

[FoxNewsSucks]

11. Probably himself

14. Project Runway

I just got that.

18. Rick Scott

That's the plan

[Dave says]

20. O god, that would be awful

And probably end social security and Medicare as we know it.

[crickets]

24. Isn't he the one who just got caught frittering away gobs of RNC cash?

They'd better keep an eye on him.

[Chellee]

46. It's the NRSC, but yes.

Republican senatorial candidates can't buy ads, and Scott can't explain what he did with $173 million.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/08/19/gop-senate-rescue-midterms/

Rick Scott ought to have 'you knew I was a snake when you picked me up' tattooed on his forehead.

[crickets]

47. Thanks for the correction & link, Chellee.

“If they were a corporation, the CEO would be fired and investigated,” said a national Republican consultant working on Senate races. “The way this money has been burned, there needs to be an audit or investigation because we’re not gonna take the Senate now and this money has been squandered. It’s a rip-off.”

The NRSC’s chairman, Sen. Rick Scott of Florida, has already taken heat from fellow Republicans for running ads featuring him on camera and releasing his own policy agenda that became a Democratic punching bag — leading to jokes that “NRSC” stood for “National Rick Scott Committee” in a bid to fuel his own presumed presidential ambitions.

It's a pit of vipers across the aisle, and they all deserve one another.

[Chellee]

48. "a pit of vipers" Exactly!

I'm shocked that they're shocked. How do they not know this? It's not like any of them make a big secret out of being vicious and self serving. It's what they admire about each other when they have it directed towards us. But then they're surprised when snakes act like snakes.

8. trump seriously believes he has presidential powers.

[Hekate]

9. Remember that story TFG loves to tell about the Snake?The one that killed its rescuer? And gloated...

… “You knew I was a Snake when you took me home!”

As always, Trump told us all exactly who he is. No pity for you, McConnell.

[Cha]

10. LOL.. Dumpster FIRE says What?

[yonder]

37. Sounds to me like tfg has a business opportunity in China

and has put his projection hat on attempting to clear the way for developing such a plan.

Shine a light on the McConnell's or get them out of the way by accusing them of something he is already or will soon be doing. It doesn't matter if tfg's claims are true or not — tfg's will soon be milking something in China.

Crazy, right? But it fits his M.O.

[C_U_L8R]

15. Secret documents??? Errr.... SQUIRREL !!!

[Trueblue1968]

16. Can we just lock these two in a cage and throw away the key? YEAH with additional roomie Big Bubba

21. I hate it when I agree with tfg.

Let them chew each other's legs off.

[EnergizedLib]

22. Detached from reality

I don’t quite think that obstructionist has ever been a pawn for us.

[Saboburns]

23. Donald Trump will end up being the best thing to ever happen to the Democratic Party.

He's nearly that now.

And that's not sarcasm.

And the kicker, the MAGAts will brook no criticism of him. And they never will.

Instead, their fealty not only is increasing, so is their legend of Donald J. Trump. They have him penciled in as greatest Earthling to grace planet Earth.

Madness.

Doubling down is their kink.

So they keep doubling down on the Madness.

Somehow it's horribly fascinating to witness.

How does it end?

[Martin68]

41. LOL, I never thought I'd agree with Trump about anything.

[Sky Jewels]

42. Well, he is the King of the World, after all, so I guess Mitch has to comply.

[DLCWIdem]

44. Maybe Trump can cause McConnell so much trouble

that he will regret not taking a stand and getting rid of him at his second impeachment.

45. They really deserve one another.
