Former President Trump appeared on Maria Baritomo’s show Wednesday to rail against Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY). Trump says with all the problems going on, McConnell “should be ashamed of himself.”

“They were dying,” Trump said of the GOP. “They’re dying at the border, they’re dying in Afghanistan, they are dying all over the place.”

Most of all, Trump was disappointed with the recent infrastructure bill. “Only 11% goes to infrastructure. It’s not an infrastructure plan, it’s a Green New Deal plan,” Trump said. “And because they signed that, it’s going to be easy to get the real beauty, the one they really want, the $3.5 trillion [budget], it’s going to be much easier to get that because they signed this deal.”

As a result of these failures, Trump pointed the finger at the minority leader. “Mitch McConnell should be ashamed of himself,” Trump said. “He is a stupid man, and I’ve said it for a long time. They gave Biden victory.”

So @LeaderMcConnell is going around on TV complaining about Biden's Afghanistan mess as if people are going to forget that he just helped get Biden elected.

Then, Trump repeated an argument he’s made before. “Mitch McConnell should be overthrown and — and overthrown fast, because these senators, he is leading them down a bad path.”

In a lawsuit happy world, President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, is the criminal being prosecuted, but somehow also in a position to bring forth a lawsuit of his own.

On Monday, Hunter Biden sued the Internal Revenue Service on the grounds that the federal agency illegally released his tax records during the investigation into him.

Filed in a Washington, D.C., federal court, Hunter alleges the IRS failed to protect his private records. The lawsuit sites congressional testimonies and media interviews with IRS whistleblowers Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler as examples.

“Despite clear warnings from Congress that they were prohibited from disclosing the contents of their testimony to the public in another forum, Mr. Shapley and Mr. Ziegler’s testimony only emboldened their media campaign against Mr. Biden,” the 27-page lawsuit says.

“And finally, since their public testimony before the House of Representatives on July 19, 2023, the agents have become regular guests on national media outlets and have made new allegations and public statements regarding Mr. Biden’s confidential tax return information that were not previously included in their transcripts before the Committee on Ways and Means.”
