ast Thursday, Senate minority leader
Mitch McConnell predicted that while Republicans may take the House during November’s midterm elections, they’re unlikely to flip the Senate due to “candidate quality.” This forecast, which McConnell
is not alone in making, did not go over well with former president
Donald Trump. How do we know this? Because he took to Truth Social to tell us as much—and by tell us as much, we mean he not only called the lawmaker from Kentucky a “broken down hack” but also insulted the guy’s wife (who happened to be in Trump’s Cabinet).
Yes, on Saturday the ex-president logged on to
his sad social media network and angrily
typed: “Why do Republicans [
sic] Senators allow a broken down hack politician, Mitch McConnell, to openly disparage hard working Republican candidates for the United States Senate. This is such an affront to honor and to leadership. He should spend more time (and money!) helping them get elected, and less time helping his crazy wife and family get rich on China!”
