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.

To watch the GOP cannibalize itself.

2. Personally McConnell is the King of not getting anything done

He pledged to obstruct and that’s what he does. Perfectly. The Repukes need to lose trump. But they are chicken.

3. "practically and morally responsible"

... but, c'mon Donnie, he then made it clear he was okay with that.

I don't really expect to see McConnell run again, anyway -- he might not make it through this term.

11. Turtle deserves every bit of this cheap goading. Turtle SHOULD HAVE stood up for his sane members

But instead, he’s chickenshit. And Trump sees an opportunity to piss in his parade and grab more power. I want to say I am enjoying this, but I’m not. I want them all to go away. They are all dangerous as hell.
