A new biography of Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell reveals that he privately criticized then-President Donald Trump after the 2020 election, calling him "stupid as well as being ill-tempered," a "despicable human being," and a "narcissist." McConnell reportedly expressed frustration with Trump's actions during that period, stating that the American people "had just enough of the misrepresentations, the outright lies almost on a daily basis, and they fired him." He noted that it wasn't just Democrats but also Republicans who were "counting the days" until Trump left office. In December 2020, when Trump blocked a federal rescue package with $600 checks, McConnell was reportedly irate, saying, "This despicable human being is sitting on this package of relief that the American people desperately need." The book is set to be released this month.
