Al Jazeera
Donald Trump slams Republican legislator Mitch McConnell, who has blamed former US president for Capitol riot.
In the latest example of a growing rift in the United States Republican Party following the impeachment of Donald Trump, the former US president on Tuesday lashed out at Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell. “Mitch is a dour, sullen, and unsmiling political hack, and if Republican Senators are going to stay with him, they will not win again,” Trump said in a statement. McConnell on February 13 voted to acquit the former president in a US Senate impeachment trial in which Trump was accused of inciting a mob of his supporters that stormed the US Capitol on January 6.More Related News
