Donald Trump is officially bonkers.
He does private events that are only covered by WaPo, he goes begging back to Fox News and gets talked down to live on air, he’s endorsing garbage candidates that hate him, he’s claiming he’s going to invent the next Facebook.
This is stupid.
Washington Post:
Former president Donald Trump called Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell a “dumb son of a bitch” as he used a Saturday night speech to Republicans to blame him for not helping overturn the 2020 election and reiterated false assertions that he won the November contest.
Trump, speaking to a Republican National Committee gathering at his Mar- a-Lago Club in Palm Beach, Fla., excoriated a number of Republicans even as he publicly called for party unity — focusing on those who voted to convict him in impeachment proceedings. But he saved his sharpest vitriol for the Kentucky Republican.
“If that were Schumer instead of this dumb son of a bitch Mitch McConnell they would never allow it to happen. They would have fought it,” he said of election certifying on Jan. 6, the day his supporters led an insurrection on the Capitol to block Joe Biden’s formal victory.
Again: the only news outlet reporting this story causally refers to 1/6 as an “insurrection” as if it is fact.
(Note: obviously, other news outlets are reporting on it, but this is the original source. All other media is saying “according to the Washington Post” as regards this event.)
