President Donald Trump on Tuesday defended Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell over criticism the Kentucky Republican has drawn for blocking election security legislation and for the fourth day in a row attacked one of the chairman conducting White House oversight, Oversight and Reform Chairman Elijah E. Cummings.
Mitch McConnell is a man that knows less about Russia and Russian influence than even Donald Trump, the president said. And I know nothing.
Those comments came in response to a question about Washington Post columnist Dana Milbank calling McConnell a Russian agent in a Friday column. The president dubbed that contention a disgrace. (MSNBC host and former GOP Rep. Joe Scarborough has repeatedly referred to the GOP leader as Moscow Mitch.)
And though Trump said McConnell has zero knowledge about Russia, the senator on Monday read from a 1994 Wall Street Journal report about his plan to attach stiff political conditions to a Russia aid bill favored by the Clinton White House that targeted Moscows meddling in its neighbors affairs.

(3,649 posts)Perhaps he views "Trump" as another entity, as if he is viewing it/him from an external perspective. So strange. Not healthy.
