http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/trump-physically-mocks-mccain-mcconnell-in-privateDuring a private dinner with conservative activists at the White House this week, President Donald Trump complained about his fellow Republicans in the Senate, calling Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) weak and physically mocking him and Sen. John McCain (R-AZ).
Imitating McCains thumbs-down gesture, which he used to indicate his no vote in the last Obamacare repeal vote in July, Trump reportedly mocked the gesticulation at the dinner, complete with a facial expression. He called McCain disgraceful for his decision on health care, Politico and Axios reported.
At the private dinner he also called McConnell weak for his failure to repeal Obamacare and for not changing the Senate filibuster rule that would only require 51 votes to pass bills.
Trump also physically mocked McConnell, according to Axios, which reported Trump mimicked McConnells posture by slumping his shoulders and having a lethargic demeanor.

Mitch McConnell is a vile pile of human filth, but you also have never seen me defending him or USING him for my purposes the way the deplorables do.
So why NOW do they revel in the mockery?
Because they are truly deplorable, you know who you FUCKING are, by the way
