Fox News cuts off Trump after he says Mitch McConnell 'not equipped mentally'

Fox News cut away from President Donald Trump's lengthy press conference after he slammed Sen. Mitch McConnell's (R-KY) mental capacity.

During an Oval Office event on Thursday, Trump threatened to place reciprocal tariffs on countries, insisted that Canada had to become the 51st state, and ranted about the 2020 election being "rigged."

More than 30 minutes into the press conference, CNN's Kaitlan Collins asked Trump about McConnell's decision to vote against Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

"Well, I feel sorry for Mitch," Trump replied. "And I was one of the people that let — he couldn't — he wanted to go to the end, and he wanted to stay leader. He wasn't — he's not equipped mentally."

"He wasn't equipped 10 years ago mentally, in my opinion. He'd let the Republican Party go to hell," he continued. "If I didn't come along, the Republican Party wouldn't even exist right now. Mitch McConnell never really had it."

"He was able to get votes. But I was the one."

With that, Fox News host Martha MacCallum cut in.

"All right. A lot there," she admitted before tossing to a commercial.
