Trump Blasts McConnell, Barr for Working to 'Seal Corrupt Election' for Joe Biden
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
Former President Donald Trump has focused his anger over his election loss against top Republicans, including Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and even a member of his own administration.
Trump on Monday turned his ire against McConnell and former Attorney General Bill Barr, claiming the two allowed "radical left" Democrats to "flood the system with mail-in ballots that are very open to fraud," as Trump described last November's election.
Trump also blasted Barr as a "RINO," or Republican in name only, and claimed he "went out with a whimper" just hours after Barr was quoted in an interview about his December 2020 "break" with his former boss.
Trump attacked McConnell as well, even though the then-Senate majority leader had voted against the president's second impeachment. Trump said the Kentucky Republican "did nothing" to help him overturn President Joe Biden's victory.
In a Sunday statement, Trump accused Barr of hypocrisy and of showing a lack of respect toward him. He asked, "If [Barr] felt this way, why did Barr say he was 'greatly honored' and 'proud to have played a role in the many successes and unprecedented achievements you have delivered for the American people' in the final letter he wrote to me? He said, 'Few could have weathered these attacks, much less forge ahead with a positive program for the country,'" Trump wrote.
In an Atlantic interview published Sunday, Barr said he enraged Trump after publicly declaring the Justice Department had not seen any evidence of presidential election fraud, particularly "on a scale" claimed by Trump and his allies.
The article, titled "Inside William Barr's Breakup With Trump," said the former attorney general "has been widely seen as a Trump lackey who politicized the Justice Department. But when the big moment came after the election, he defied the president who expected him to do his bidding."
Trump's Monday statements ridiculed both McConnell and Barr for refusing to overturn the election.
"Had Mitch McConnell fought for the Presidency like he should have, there would right now be Presidential Vetoes on all of the phased Legislation that he has proven to be incapable of stopping," the former president wrote.
"Not to mention, he lost two Senatorial seats in Georgia, making the Republicans the Minority in the Senate," Trump continued. "He never fought for the White House and blew it for the Country. Too bad I backed him in Kentucky, he would have been primaried and lost! Based on press reports, he convinced his buddy, Bill Barr, to get the corrupt (based on massive amounts of evidence that the Fake News refuses to mention!) election done, over with, and sealed for Biden, ASAP!"

For 6 years now (he announced his candidacy right around this time in 2015) Trump has inflicted his mental illness on this nation. Is there an end in sight? Not noticeably.
Yet certain right wingers, here on NV, like to claim that democrats are the ones that keep bringing up Trump. The truth is that Trump just won't shut up.
Wow...he is really unhinged. How did he expect McConnell and Barr to overturn the election? They aren't Himmler and Eichmann. The man needs to be force fed the constitution
That is kind of stark, isn't it?
It's like he read Mein Kempf*** and studied it intently. He really did think he had absolute power.
***probably the only book he ever read
I am thinking he read the Spark Notes.
McConnell had a chance to bury Trump and took the coward's way out.
Let them eat each other alive.
Should we send them some Loosiana hot sauce?
apparently he favors the optics of complicity.
Off his rocker. I wish he would go to a deserted island and spend the rest of his days in sunshine and bliss (with no access to the internet).
Or food or water.
Just imagine what "The Q" would make up about that move.......
Poor wittle Loser orange conman, still can't accept he lost bigly in a landslide. He's in need of a blankie, pacifier and safe space.
And our 'friends' wonder why we like the "treacherous, senile" guy.
You have a great point. Biden has not fought for progressive initiatives, and from that perspective it is highly likely he will go down as a disappointment. Still, he is a thousand times better than Trump. When the building is falling down you shore up the beams, not buy new furniture.
After Trump, I don't believe there is any way history will judge Biden as a "disappointment". However you are correct in that he will not go down as a "progressive", or a champion of progressive values.
Obama was a hundred times better than Bush 2, and he got a Nobel because of it. You have to wonder if Biden's name is being floated in the international community.
Barr never had much of a reputation. Now he does have one: he is a man who gave the last shred of his honor to a man who then spit in his face.
Congratulations, Mr Barr....
When we allow ignorance to rule, and fuel the election of a LYING RACIST ASSWHOLE Fool, who had, has, and continues to lower ALL BARRS, we can see his stripes, yet unfortunately, no stars...
