Mitch McConnell Says Trump Win Puts Americans In A 'Very Dangerous World'
Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) reportedly said that President-elect Donald Trump’s victory puts Americans in “a very, very dangerous world,” stressing that he plans to spend his final two years in the Senate pushing back against the growing Trump-fueled isolationism within the GOP.
The 82-year-old Kentucky Republican, who last month stepped down from his role as the longest-serving party leader in Senate history, has a complicated record with the incoming president. While McConnell has worked to significantly move the country to the right — much of it under the first Trump administration — he is no fan of Trump and his isolationist worldview that’s spreading throughout the Republican Party.
“We’re in a very, very dangerous world right now, reminiscent of before World War II,” McConnell told the Financial Times on Wednesday. “Even the slogan is the same, ‘America First.’ That was what they said in the ’30s.”
Mitch McConnell has represented the Republican party for the past 17 years. You say the word Republican and Mitch McConnell immediately pops up in everyone's mind.
This statement of McConnell means that Trumpers and Republicans are now at odds with each other. If you are a Republican, stand up and take note of this.
