TRUMP BLASTS BARR, MCCONNELL FOR ‘BETRAYING’ HIM IN BOOK BUT CRITICS MOCK HIM

Defeated former US President Donald Trump, described by HuffPost overnight editor Ed Mazza as “utterly deranged,” has exploded over the admission by former attorney general William Barr that Trump’s complaint about the 2020 election being stolen from him was “bullshit” while Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell asked Barr to put some “reality” into Trump’s brain and admit his defeat.

Trump, stressed Mazza in an article written late on June 28, 2021, attacked the two key figures who enabled his agenda, calling them “spineless Republicans in Name Only (RINOs).”

Donald Trump issued a lengthy and rambling statement late Sunday attacking Barr and McConnell. Trump fulminated against the two after Barr told The Atlantic that Trump’s constant claims of election fraud were “bullshit.”

Barr also told the magazine that McConnell urged him to “inject some reality” into Trump as he repeated debunked claims of election fraud and baseless conspiracy theories last winter.

McConnell confirmed that account, the magazine reported. That was enough to trigger the former president. Trump, who once claimed he would hire only “the best and most serious people,” called Barr a “disappointment in every sense of the word,” much as he has attacked many of the other “best people” he hired, including Jeff Sessions (attorney general), Rex Tillerson (secretary of state), James Mattis (defense secretary) John Bolton (national security advisor), H.R. McMaster (national security advisor) John Kelly (homeland security and chief of staff) and Mike Pence (vice president), just to name a few.

Critics on Twitter slammed Trump for the disjointed new statement attacking two of his key enablers, saying he has gone bonkers, as what his slurring, 90-minute speech at a rally in Ohio showed. In that speech, Trump could not pronounce “defend,” saying “defund” instead, and had difficulty pronouncing “comprehensible,” leading many dismayed attendees to leave halfway through his soliloquy.
