Trump Claims People Are Angry After Mcconnell Congratulated Biden
President Donald Trump's loyalists didn't appreciate U.S. Senator Mitch McConnell's latest gesture of him congratulating Democrat Joe Biden and acknowledging him as the President-elect. Top allies of the president accused the Senate majority leader of selling out the party's leader.
Trump claims people are angry after McConnell congratulated Biden, while the president's most loyal supporters vented their frustration at the high-ranking Republican. Trump tweeted a link to a DailyMail article about MAGA turning on McConnell, adding that Mitch, 75,000,000 votes are a record for a sitting president.
He wrote it is too soon to quit, noting that the Republican Party needs to learn to fight before claiming that people are angry. The president's campaign attorney Lin Wood went as far as calling McConnell a traitor and predicted that his day of judgment is just around the corner.
Woods accused McConnell of not being a Patriot and said his wife could confirm the same. McConnell's wife, Elaine Chao, is a Chinese-American and currently serving as Transportation Secretary. The duo has been married for 27 years.
Woods says that McConnell just wants money, influence, and power and is even willing to sell the nation to get what he wants. She said McConnell is a traitor to American Patriots. Former National Security Advisor Mike Flynn decided to join the outcry, retweeting a tweet calling on American patriots to let McConnell know that they do not support his president-elect mindset.
The recently-pardoned Flynn assured Trump that a significant number of Patriots stand behind, alongside, and in front of him during this moment in America's history where the Republic is on the line. He also guaranteed that they would neither fail nor cower like some members of the Republican Party.
McConnell went on to break with Trump on Tuesday during a call with Republican senators, who he warned against opposing the presidential election results. The results will be delivered to a joint session of Congress for affirmation next month.
Trump has recently accused some local officials and Republican governors of insufficiently supportive of his dubious claims of widespread voter fraud. Aside from guiding these officials on how to back his baseless claims, Trump has been bringing in lawsuits to overturn election results, POLITICO reported.
Trump's tweet Wednesday marked the first time he publicly slammed his party's most senior Washington lawmaker for acknowledging Biden as president-elect. McConnell had refrained from doing so since the race had been called for the former vice president last month but backed Trump's ongoing effort to overturn the election results.
