Mitch McConnell brutally nailed the RNC

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) has worn out his welcome with many Republican voters, the last straw being his fiery speech blaming Trump for the protest at the US Capitol on January 6, claiming that the then president “provoked” the mob. who became violent after being “fed lies”.

The 82-year-old Senate GOP leader was met with boos at the Republican National Convention on Monday when he announced that Kentucky delegates were voting for Trump to be the party's nominee for president.

Despite their very public differences, McConnell caved to the obvious in March when he endorsed Trump.

“It is abundantly clear that former President Trump has earned the necessary support from Republican voters to be our nominee for President of the United States,” McConnell said in a statement. “It should come as no surprise that, as a candidate, he has my support.”

Trump has repeatedly called for McConnell to be replaced as the party's leader in the Senate, and McConnell will relinquish his historic hold on power in the fall: He has been the leader of the Senate Republican Conference since 2007, making him the Senate that more time served. party leader in US history.

McConnell played an integral role in the seating of three US Supreme Court justices during Trump's four years in office, though it's up in the air as to how those choices have been made, more by Trump than for McConnell.

Here's a quick sampling of responses to the story, as seen on social media platform X:
