Called Trump “stupid,” “ill-tempered,” a “despicable human being” and a “narcissist"

No matter how low your opinion of Sen. Mitch McConnell — and his chronic, craven, cynicism — he still somehow finds a way to shock and amaze.

This week, The Associated Press reported on excerpts from a new biography of McConnell by the AP’s deputy Washington bureau chief Michael Tackett. According to Tackett, the Republican senator from Kentucky privately called Trump “stupid,” “ill-tempered,” a “despicable human being” and a “narcissist,” and said of the 2020 election that the American people had had enough of Trump’s “misrepresentations” and his “daily stream of lies and “fired him.”
