President Donald Trump denounced Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell Tuesday as an 'unsmiling political hack' – days after the Republican party's most senior elected official voted to acquit Trump of inciting the Capitol riot but then blasted his conduct in an excoriating speech.
He called the Republicans' most senior elected figure 'a dour, sullen and unsmiling political hack' in a lengthy and vitriolic statement issued from Mar-a-Lago.
Trump blamed McConnell, whose office sits steps from where a large group of rioters were arrested on January 6, for causing the loss of two GOP Senate seats.
Many GOP consultants and some elected officials have blamed Trump's own election overturn effort for costing the party control of the Senate.

This is not playing well. Maxine Waters and every angry black woman in Congress does not play well. We have had 3 decades of Maxine Waters, Sheila Jackson Lee Cynthia Kinney and others and we are sick of it.
Schiff, Swalwell, Nadler, Schumer and the rest are not any better.
The Democrats might have a good day in court, begin the jury pool will be drawn from a large "inner" city. But we will see.
There are problems in the DC collar counties between Hispanics and Blacks. Those will not be solved by Democrat prescribed identity politics or political spoils. So the court cases might not go their way.
I really hope the fools continue onward with their witch hunt.
