Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) "jabbed" former President Donald Trump over his choice of running mate in an exclusive interview released Friday. McConnell was dismissive and slyly critical of Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) in the upcoming presidential election he is determined Republicans should win, Punchbowl News reports. "It’s not my job to tell the president who he ought to run,” McConnell said. “With regard to Sen. Vance… yeah, we have a different point of view.”McConnell did not shy away from taunting President Joe Biden, whose recent call for Supreme Court reforms he compared to the riots at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, according to the report. ALSO READ: We asked 10 Republican senators: ‘Is Kamala Harris Black?’ Things got weird fast.“We can have our arguments," McConnell told reporter Andrew Desiderio. "But we ought to not try to break the rules.”This is why Desiderio dubs McConnell a "maddening figure to Democrats" who champion his work fighting Republican isolationists who wanted to block aid to Ukraine while also enabling Trump and the MAGA right's ascent to power. The report suggests McConnell supports Trump not because he believes in the former president as a leader but simply because he wants Republicans to win and Democrats to lose. "McConnell has long despised Vance’s worldview and believes Trump is culpable for Jan. 6," writes Desiderio. "Without directly criticizing Vance or Trump, McConnell said the foreign policy doctrine Vance and others in his party believe in is 'nonsense.'"The Senate minority leader went so far as to compare Vance's views to those who tried to stop the U.S. from entering into World War II, saying, “Even the slogans are what they were in the 30s — ‘America First.'"Writes Desiderio Friday, "It’s classic McConnell, twisting the knife in his own unique style."
