President Trump on Wednesday demanded that a GOP staffer be fired for making Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) look “out of it” while leading a recent Senate Appropriations subcommittee hearing, NewsNation reports.
Said Trump: “The guy that came up to Mitch McConnell today when McConnell thought the hearing was over and started speaking in his ear for Mitch to belatedly introduce some other people, all Democrats and, by doing so, made Mitch look foolish and completely out of it, should be immediately fired!”
He added: “This was a case where Mitch wasn’t confused, he just didn’t understand why he was being asked to do something when it was too late, and people were wrapping up to leave — They wanted to go home.”
