President Donald Trump did not hold back his ire for Mitch McConnell and Anthony Fauci during a speech at Mar-a-Lago on Saturday night, according to reports.
Trump also expressed his disappointment with former Vice President Mike Pence, according to reporters who were present for the rant.
The Washington Post’s Josh Dawsey and the New York Times reported that Trump called McConnell a “dumb son of a bitch,” and a “stone-cold loser.”
“Trump claimed McConnell asked for help because ‘people can’t stand him in Kentucky.’ Says McConnell turned on him, has no personality, and is ‘stiff.’ ‘I hired his wife, did he ever say thank you?’ Mocked Elaine Chao for resigning after Jan 6. ‘She suffered so greatly,’ he said,” Dawsey tweeted.
Dawsey continued on to report that Trump “came back to McConnell later in the speech to complain Democrats are tougher than Republicans. ‘If that were Schumer instead of this dumb son of a bitch Mitch McConnell they would never allow it to happen. They would have fought it,’ he said of election certifying. The crowd cheered.”

Trump says someone came to him, who he refers to as “sir,” and suggested that it be called a “Trumpcine.” Mocked Fauci relentlessly, for his advice and baseball pitch. “Have you ever seen anybody that is so full of crap?” he said of Fauci.
