[Superbadbrutha]

Democrats and Liberals somehow think Republicans rally around anyone because they have an (R) next to their name.

They do, none of these cowards have stood up to Trump but Mitch Romney.

McConnell privately called Trump a 'despicable human' and unfit for office, new book says

The Senate GOP leader has endorsed Trump. He said Thursday that any remark he made "pales in comparison" to what others, including VP nominee JD Vance, have said.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has endorsed Donald Trump for president this year. But in a new book, the powerful Kentucky Republican is quoted after the 2020 election disparaging Trump as a “despicable human being,” “stupid” and “ill-tempered."

Republicans were counting down the days until he left office, McConnell said at the time. He also called the “narcissistic” Trump unfit for office after he incited the attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, and the Senate leader sobbed to his staff that day after their lives were put in danger, according to a copy of the book obtained by NBC News.


Those quotes and scenes are depicted in “The Price of Power,” a new book out this month by veteran journalist Michael Tackett, deputy bureau chief of The Associated Press. His reporting is based on almost three decades of private oral histories McConnell shared with Tackett, as well as more than 50 hours of interviews and thousands of McConnell’s personal and official records.

McConnell did not deny his statements about Trump as quoted in the book, when asked about it Thursday. “Whatever I may have said about President Trump pales in comparison to what JD Vance, Lindsey Graham, and others have said about him,” McConnell said in a statement, “but we are all on the same team now.”

In the book, McConnell, the longest-serving Senate leader in history, gives his unfiltered observations about presidents, House speakers, Cabinet officials, fellow senators and tech leaders. But his most scathing criticism was reserved for Trump.

Lots and lots of people feel the same way about McConnell

They do, none of these cowards have stood up to Trump but Mitch Romney.

Perhaps becasue they agree with him and he's done wonderful things for their party? Just saying.

 

[JLW]

What McConnell says about Trump now means shit. He did nothing when he had the chance and he showed he had no spine. He is despised by liberal and conservative alike and for good reason,

 

[LeftofLeft]

They do, none of these cowards have stood up to Trump but Mitch Romney.

Most of the Republicans want to be accepted by Democrats. They are pussies.

 

[Rawley]

All Republicans with half a brain know trump is unfit. When the reckoning comes they will pretend they didn't.

All Americans with half a brain understand that Harris is unfit.

Yeah.... You really don't want to be hanging your hat on Mitch McConnell now do you? Kind of like running to Rasputin to condemn Hitler.

Trump is the one who needs to be in a nursing home.

Nah, Trump belongs in prison. For the rest of his days.

All Americans with half a brain understand that Harris is unfit.

There are hundreds of Republicans from administrations going back to Reagan's, dozens from trump's, as well as members of the intelligence agencies and military, who are on the record declaring that trump is unfit. Nothing like that has ever happened before. Which is a testament to just how unfit he is for a myriad of reasons. It's a shame you can't see it.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

Hundreds of GOP leaders across the nation today hit the trail for Harris.

Well of course they agree with him, what has he done that is so wonderful? Oh, brought racism and white supremacy back.

No, they don't. There was a time there was some bipartisanship in this country, which has gone out the window in the last 25yrs.

No, they don't. There was a time there was some bipartisanship in this country, which has gone out the window in the last 25yrs.

Mitch McConnell, Mitt Romney, Liz Cheney. These are just a few. Bipartisanship are two sides truly compromising and moving forward together.

Most people in Congress know what Trump is. I'd guess MTG and Boebert don't, but most of the rest do.

That's why they're the biggest villains in this fucking disaster, not Trump himself.
