Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) did not respond to former President Donald Trump’s attack yesterday, but the New York Times did have comments from two in McConnell’s inner circle.
Said Janet Mullins Grissom, McConnell’s first chief of staff: “Trump going total mean girl ought to feed the cable beast for weeks.”
Said Billy Piper, another former top McConnell aide: “It seems an odd choice for someone who claims they want to lead the G.O.P. to attack a man who has been unanimously elected to lead Senate Republicans a history-making eight times. But we have come to expect these temper tantrums when he feels threatened — just ask any of his former chiefs of staff or even his vice president.”
