A few days after his acquittal in the United States Senate, the former president of the United States, Donald Trump (74), settles accounts with his former ally, the top Republican Mitch McConnell (78). In a lengthy statement Tuesday, Trump asked Republican senators to walk away from McConnell as the Republican leader in the powerful House of Parliament.
“The Republican Party can never be respected or strong again with political ‘leaders’ like Sen. Mitch McConnell at the top,” Trump said.
“He will never do what needs to be done”
“If the Republican senators hang on to it, they won’t win again. He will never do what is necessary or what is right for our country. “And then Trump insults McConnell as” grumpy, grumpy and seriously politically worthless. “
The assault on the United States Capitol by Trump supporters on January 6 had caused the rift between the two Republicans. McConnell blamed Trump for the attack on Congress.
McConnell voted for Trump on impeachment
On Saturday he said Trump was “practically and morally” responsible for it. In the impeachment process, with which Democrats wanted to hold the former president accountable for inciting a riot, McConnell ultimately voted against a Trump conviction.
McConnell and other Republicans believed the trial was unconstitutional because it was directed against a former president.
140,000 Republicans flee the party
As Trump continues to say he wants to continue his movement, an analysis by the New York Times shows that around 140,000 Republicans have already left the party since January.
According to election experts, these are the Republicans who fled the party when they saw the events surrounding the presidential election and the assault on the Capitol. (euc / SDA)
