Former President Donald Trump is incredibly angry about former Attorney General William Barr’s comments about Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s actions after the November election published in an upcoming book, “Betrayal,” written by ABC News correspondent Jonathan Karl. The book recounts the final days of Trump’s presidency. In the clip published from the book, Barr revealed that McConnell had told him to push back against Trump’s claims that the 2020 presidential election was fraudulent, per The Hill. According to Barr, McConnell was worried that Trump’s actions could make it harder for Republicans to win January’s Senate runoff elections in Georgia.
After reading this excerpt, Trump was quick to fire off a series of insults about McConnell and cited his remorse for backing the Senate Minority Leader in his 2020 re-election campaign in Kentucky. “Had Mitch McConnell fought for the Presidency like he should have, there would right now be Presidential Vetoes on all of the phased Legislation that he has proven to be incapable of stopping,” Trump said in a statement on Monday, according to The Hill. “He never fought for the White House and blew it for the Country. Too bad I backed him in Kentucky, he would have been primaried and lost!” Trump also had scathing words for Barr, who he called “spineless,” in the statement.

Though McConnell has stated that he will support any Republican candidate in the 2024 presidential election, it seems as though Trump has no interest in receiving help of any kind from his former colleague. Trump’s disdain for McConnell was made even more apparent in his most recent comments made on Monday.
