| Trump rips McConnell at Mar-a-Lago |
| 2021-04-12 |
| [Politico] Former President Donald Trump ripped into Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell before a Republican National Committee donor retreat Saturday evening, deriding him as a "dumb son of a bitch." Trump veered off his prepared text during a roughly 50-minute speech before several hundred well-heeled GOP donors at his Mar-a-Lago resort in South Florida, saying that he was "disappointed" in former Vice President Mike Pence, calling last year's presidential election election a "fraud" and mocking Dr. Anthony Fauci. The former president spent several minutes tearing into McConnell, saying that he didn’t do enough to defend him during the February impeachment trial. At one point, three people familiar with the remarks said, Trump called the Senate GOP leader a "dumb son of a bitch." Trump also went after McConnell’s wife, former Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao, for resigning her cabinet post after the Jan. 6 insurrection. |

| #1 He calls 'em as he sees 'em. That's been the trait his fans love and everyone else hates from the get go. |
