Former President Donald Trump ripped Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, a Kentucky Republican, blaming him for the GOP dropping the Senate even as the former commander in chief argued that it would had been worse if it wasn't for his personal efforts.
Trump made the remarks in the course of a stay video message to MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell's MAGA Frank Free Speech rally at the River's Edge Apple River live performance venue in New Richmond, Wisconsin, on Saturday. The former president and Lindell endured to promote baseless conspiracy theories approximately the 2020 election at the event—which attracted lots of attendees—announcing that it became "rigged" by President Joe Biden and the Democrats.
"If it wasn't for me, proper now the Senate could be 60-forty in opposition to," Trump stated throughout the occasion, claiming that Democrats could have 10 greater seats than they currently have inside the evenly break up legislative chamber of Congress. "Because I made teleconference calls—they call them town hall calls—speakme to tens of lots of human beings, for congressional applicants and senators," the previous president stated.
"And we might be at 60-40 towards in place of 50-50," Trump added, before attacking the GOP Senate minority leader. "And unfortunately Mitch McConnell, with what he changed into doing, harm us very, very badly in Georgia. We lost the ones two seats. We ought to have by no means lost the ones two seats."

Although McConnell did now not be a part of seven GOP senators in balloting to convict Trump for inciting the violence, he refused to protect Trump and blamed him immediately for the attack.
