Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has once again made headlines with candid remarks about his relationship with former President Donald Trump and his ongoing concerns about the events of January 6, 2021. In a recent public appearance, McConnell confirmed that he and Trump have not spoken in a long time and that their relationship remains tense. “I was outraged by what happened that day,” McConnell said, referring to the Capitol riot. “It was a dark moment for the country.” Although he didn’t mention Trump by name, McConnell stood by his earlier position that the former president bears “practical and moral responsibility” for inciting the attack. While many Republicans have realigned themselves with Trump ahead of the 2024 election, McConnell’s comments highlight the deep divisions that still exist within the GOP.
