Trump rips McConnell as a 'total stone cold loser' and SOB during Mar-a-Lago speech: reports
Former President Donald Trump reportedly went off on Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) during a speech to major Republican donors at Mar-a-Lago on Saturday.
While the event was closed to the press, multiple reporters are hearing from sources inside the room.
'Continuing tensions and schisms roiling the GOP' as Trump's grip on the party continues: NYT
The Republican Party is facing complications as the GOP attempts to chart a course following Joe Biden's victory in November and Democrats capturing control of the U.S. Senate in January.
"The first spring donor retreat after a defeat for a political party is typically a moment of reflection and renewal as officials chart a new direction forward," The New York Times reported Saturday. "But with former President Donald J. Trump determined to keep his grip on the Republican Party and the party's base as adhered to him as ever, the coming together of the Republican National Committee's top donors in South Florida this weekend is less a moment of reset and more a reminder of the continuing tensions and schisms roiling the G.O.P."
