McConnell seeks to end feud with Trump
By Alexander Bolton - 04/13/21 05:50 PM EDT
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) is seeking to end his running feud with President Trump, which escalated this weekend when the former president insulted him as a “dumb son of a bitch†and a “stone-cold loser†for not backing his false claims about the election.
Trump’s comments were especially stinging as they were widely publicized and came one day after Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.), the chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC), gave Trump a “Champion of Freedom Award" at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort.
Trump lashed out at McConnell the following Saturday evening at a Republican donor event, where he blamed him for Republicans losing the White House.
“If that were Schumer instead of this dumb son of a bitch Mitch McConnell they would never allow it to happen. They would have fought it,†Trump said, referring to newly minted Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) and the election results.
McConnell on Tuesday wanted no part in the food fight with Trump and said he’s more focused on trying to unify the Republican Party to oppose what he calls President Biden’s “far-left†agenda.

Get in line behind Haley, Turtle.

So the dumb son-of-a-bitch is going to apologize to not only President Trump but the 80 million Americans he insulted by accepting the false results of the stolen election, and then resign, to retire in total silence thereafter?
That's the only way he can truly apologize.

No sale, China Mitch.
