Fox News Fighting Trump's Battle Against McConnell

MITCH MCCONNELL COMPLAINED THAT DONALD TRUMP DOES NOT HAVE
EXPERIENCE OF THE POLITICAL PROCESS AND AS A RESULT
HAS UNREASONABLE EXPECTATIONS WHEN IT COMES TO PASSING
LEGISLATION.
TRUMP AND A NUMBER OF PEOPLE ON THE
RIGHT DIDN'T TAKE KINDLY TO WHAT MCCONNELL HAD TO
SAY TO.
THE RESPONSES BEEN PRETTY FIERCE AND VERY
INTERESTING.
LET'S LOOK AT DONALD TRUMP FIRST.
HE TWEETED ABOUT MITCH MCCONNELL'S STATEMENT AND SAID
THE FOLLOWING
ñ SENATOR MCCONNELL SAID I HAD EXCESSIVE EXPECTATIONS, BUT
I DON'T THINK SO.
AFTER SEVEN YEARS OF HEARING REPEAL AND REPLACE, WHY NOT
DONE?
IT IS NOT DONE BECAUSE THEIR REPLACEMENT PLAN WAS DEEPLY
UNPOPULAR, AND EVEN MEMBERS OF THE RIGHT DID NOT WANT TO
REPEAL THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT AND SPECIFIC COMPONENTS
THAT THEY GET TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF, RIGHT?
COMPONENTS INCLUDING BEING ABLE TO STAY ON YOUR PARENTS HEALTH
INSURANCE UNTIL YOU ARE 26, TOMI LAHREN, OR NOT BEING
DISREGARDED BY INSURANCE COMPANIES OR REJECTED FOR
HAVING A PRE-EXISTING CONDITION.
WHAT REPUBLICANS COULD'VE DONE IS IMPROVE THE AFFORDABLE CARE
ACT, BUT THEY CANNOT BECAUSE THEY'RE GOING TO UPSET
THEIR DONORS IF THEY DO THAT SO INSTEAD THEY ARE GOING TO TRY TO
SCREW THE AMERICAN PEOPLE OVER, BUT NONETHELESS, REPUBLICANS
FAILED WITH THIS ATTEMPT AND TRUMP IS UPSET ABOUT IT.
MITCH IS RIGHT, BUT TRUMP IS ALSO RIGHT.
IT IS
REALLY INTERESTING.
LET'S GO TO DAN SCAVINO'S TWEET ON IT.
HE IS THE SOCIAL MEDIA PERSON FOR DONALD TRUMP.
HE HELPS THEM ON TWITTER.
THAT IS HILARIOUS HE SAYS -
TO ANA'S POINT, HE IS RIGHT.
THEY HAD SEVEN YEARS TO UP WITH
A PROPOSAL THAT WAS GREAT AND YOU CAN GET ALL OF YOUR
PUBLICANS TO VOTE FOR ONCE YOU HAVE THE MAJORITY.
BUT HE IS ALSO WRONG BECAUSE THEIR PROPOSAL WAS NEVER
GRADES AND TRUMP AND HIS WHOLE TEAM SUPPORTED THAT
MISERABLE PROPOSAL.
THE REASON THEY COULDN'T PASS IT BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T HAVE
ENOUGH VOTES BECAUSE THEY WERE LYING ALL THOSE SEVEN YEARS.
THEY PRETENDED AND TRUMP DURING THE CAMPAIGN DID THE SAME
THING AND EVEN MORE, THEY PRETENDED THEY HAD A
SECRET, MAGIC OPTION THAT WOULD COVER EVERYONE, WOULD GIVE
YOU A LOWER PREMIUM, AND BETTER COVERAGE.
NONE OF THOSE THINGS TURN OUT TO BE TRUE.
THEIR OPTION TURNED OUT THE COVER 20 TO 30
MILLION PEOPLE LESS THAN IS COVERED NOW.
TURNOUT PREMIUMS ARE GOING TO BE FOUR OR FIVE TIMES HIGHER.
NOT FOR 5%,
FOUR OR FIVE TIMES HIGHER FOR OLDER PEOPLE IN AMERICA AND
HIGHER OVERALL FOR MOST PEOPLE OTHER THAN THE YOUNG AND
HEALTHY AND YOU WOULD GET LESS COVERAGE IN YOUR HEALTHCARE.
IT WAS AN EPIC DEBACLE, NOT BECAUSE SOMEBODY PLAYED THE
POLITICS WRONG.
NOW BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO PREPARE,
IT'S BECAUSE THEY WERE ALWAYS FULL OF CRAP.
THEY NEVER HAD A BETTER PROPOSAL.
YES, YOU GUYS CAN PUNCH EACH OTHER IN THE FACE AND GOD
BLESS YOUR HEART, KEEP DOING THAT, BUT AT THE END OF THE
DAY YOU ARE ATTACKING EACH OTHER FOR THE SAME BILL THAT YOU
BOTH WANTED PASSED THAT AMERICANS HATED AND POLLED AT 17%
BECAUSE YOU WERE LYING ALL ALONG.
THAT IS THE PROBLEM, NOT BECAUSE MCCONNELL IS LAZY OR THAT
TRUMP HAD TOO HIGH EXPECTATIONS.
YOU JUST NEVER HAD THE RIGHT BILL.
THEY NEVER HAD THE RIGHT BILL, AND THEY NEVER
LISTENED TO WHAT AMERICANS REALLY NEED OR WANT, AND
THAT IS THE BIGGEST ISSUE.
IT HAPPENS ON THE DEMOCRATIC
SIDE AS WELL SO THERE IS INFIGHTING AMONG THE
DEMOCRATS RIGHT NOW BUT YOU SEE THE SAME BEHAVIOR ON THE
RIGHT AND IT IS TIME FOR LAWMAKERS WHO HAVE GOTTEN
ELECTED INTO OFFICE TO REPRESENT PEOPLE TO ACTUALLY REPRESENT
THEIR CONSTITUENTS BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT REPUBLICANS DID.
ALL THEY DID WAS WHINE AND CRY AND MOVE ABOUT THE
AFFORDABLE CARE ACT FOR SEVEN YEARS KNOWING FULL WELL THAT
THAT WAS ACTUALLY A REPUBLICAN PLAN CRAFTED BY THE HERITAGE
FOUNDATION FOR MASSACHUSETTS UNDER MITT ROMNEY BY THE WAY.
FINAL ATTACK AGAINST MCCONNELL CAME FROM FOX AND FRIENDS.
A FUN LITTLE VIDEO, LET'S TAKE A LOOK.
THE PRESIDENT HAS NOT BEEN IN THIS LINE OF WORK BEFORE.
HE GETS THINGS DONE AHEAD OF DEADLINE, THAT IS THE
PROBLEM.
NOTHING HAS HAPPENED.
THEY PASSED ALMOST NOTHING OF SUBSTANCE.
INSTEAD OF COMPLAINING AND TAKING A RECESS AND A
BREAK, FINE.
GO BACK TO THE SENATE, WORK IT OUT, GET IT DONE FOR THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE.
WHY IS HE IN KENTUCKY?
THEY WERE NOT EVEN READY TO PUSH THE PRESIDENT'S NOMINEES
FORWARD.
WHATEVER TIME YOU NEED GET IT DONE.
DROP THE VICTIM MENTALITY.
HE'S COMPLAINING THAT THE PRESIDENT DOESN'T
UNDERSTAND HOW LONG THINGS TAKEN WASHINGTON.
WE'RE NOT IN THE SENATE WORKING BY THE OLD RULES.
WHAT THEY DO NOW IS RIGHT BUILT IN SECRET, THEY AIRDROPPED
THEM ON THE FLOOR AND THEN THERE RAN THROUGH ON PARTYLINE VOTES.
HE IS SPEAKING IN FRONT OF THE ROTARY CLUB BACK HOME.
TAKING A RECESS.
AFTER HE PROMISED TO STAY THROUGH AUGUST THE
IT IS A VACATION.
HE'S COMPLETING WE DON'T HAVE TIME.
THE WAY THEY DO IT, HE IS PLENTY OF TIME TO DO THAT.
MAYBE WE NEED TO CHANGE THE SYSTEM.
MAYBE THIS IS WHAT THE PRESIDENT IS TALKING ABOUT, DRAINING
THE SWAMP.
MAYBE THE LONG LENGTHY PROCEDURES THEY HAVE THAT
TAKE FOREVER
UNBELIEVABLEÖ REALISTIC BECAUSE YOU STOP WORKING.
TRUE THAT YOU CAN GET THINGS DONE IF YOU ARE NOT IN THE
SENATE THE
IT IS UNBELIEVABLE.
WHAT AN EMBARRASSMENT THAT
WHY IS HE IN KENTUCKY?
THAT IS KIND OF HIS HOME STATE, HE IS A SENATOR FROM KENTUCKY
KNOW, HE IS ACTUALLY MAKING A POLITICAL SPEECH NOT ON VACATION.
LET'S GET TO THE ESSENCE HERE.
ONE MORE ASIDE, THEY SHOULD DO THAT THING WITH THE
PARLIAMENTARIAN OR WHATEVER IT IS THEY DO.
THAT TAKES FOREVER.
YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT EMBARRASSING.
THIS IS A COORDINATED ATTACK BY ALL OF THE TRUMP SUPPORTERS
ON FOX NEWS.
SEAN HANNITY CALLED, IN CAPITAL LETTERS, MITCH MCCONNELL A
WEAK, SPINELESS LEADER THAT NEEDS TO RETIRE.
LOU DAHMS, ANOTHER HUGE TRUMP SUPPORTERS SAYS YOU NEED TO -
HE CALLED HIM LAZY MCCONNELL.
THESE ARE NUCLEAR ATTACKS AGAINST MITCH MCCONNELL AND
THERE THEY SAID IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SEGMENT, THIS IS WHAT
TRUMP MEANT BY DRAINING THE SWAMP.
HE IS SAYING THAT THE SENATE MAJORITY LEADER FOR THE
REPUBLICANS IS THE SWAMP.
THAT IS WHAT THEY'RE SAYING ON FOX AND FRIENDS THAT YOU
ARE GOING NUCLEAR ON MITCH MCCONNELL.
WE DISCUSSED WHY THAT IS A STUPID IDEA, BUT HERE'S MY
QUESTION: WHAT IS YOUR END GAME?
I KNOW YOU ARE ANGRY AND YOUR EGO HAS BEEN TOUCHED AND
YOU ARE A CHILD, BUT YOU HAVE ANY STRATEGY?
YOU NUCLEAR OWN SENATE MAJORITY LEADER.
BY THE WAY, SOMETIMES MAYBE YOU DO NEED TO DO THAT.
I'M NOT SAYING THAT IS NOT AN OPTION YOU SHOULD EVER TAKE
THAT YOU WANT TO BREAK THE BACK OF THE LIEN THE
ESTABLISHMENT, I AM RIGHT THERE WITH YOU.
BUT THEN WHAT DO YOU DO?
WHAT IS YOUR IN GAME.
WE GET RID OF MITCH MCCONNELL, AND THEN WE HAVE WHAT?
A BILL THAT HAS 87% POPULARITY?
NO, THE BILL STILL HAS 17% POPULARITY AND CANíT GET THE
VOTES.
IF HE IS MOVING THE CHESS PIECES AROUND, HE IS
LIKE LOOK, LET'S TARGET A WEAK REPUBLICAN WHO VOTED THE
WRONG WAY AND WILL KNOCK THEM OUT IN THE NEXT ELECTION.
THAT WILL SEND A SIGNAL TO EVERYONE ELSE AND IT WILL
HAVE REVERBERATIONS.
THAT IS OUR STRATEGY AND IT MAY WORK.
LET'S TAKE MITCH MCCONNELL, RETIRE, YOU, YOU ARE LAZY.
YOU'RE A BUM.
AND THEN WHAT?
ALSO, I FEEL LIKE WE'RE FORGETTING WHAT THE WHOLE
PURPOSE OF THE SENATE AND HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES IS.
IT ISN'T TO BE A GROUP OF WATER BOYS FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP.
IT IS MEANT TO CHALLENGE AND CHECK HIS POWER.
OF THE PRESIDENT IS PRESIDENT PRESSURING LAWMAKER TO PASS
LEGISLATION THAT IS NOT GOOD FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, IT IS
THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THESE LAWMAKERS TO FIGHT BACK AND
SAY NO, THIS IS A GOVERNMENT CONSTITUENTS.
I'M NOT GOING TO PASSES LEGISLATION.
THAT IS WHAT CONGRESS IS SUPPOSED TO DO.
FINALLY, THERE ARE A LOT OF DIFFERENT VOTES ON A LOT OF
DIFFERENT VERSIONS OF THIS AND MCCAIN AT THE END VOTED NO,
BUT THE TWO SENATORS THAT WERE MOST ADAMANTLY KNOW ON ALL THESE
DIFFERENT PROPOSALS WERE LISA MURKOWSKI AND SUSAN COLLINS.
THEY ARE BOTH REPUBLICAN SENATORS AND THEY VOTED NO
ON THESE PROPOSALS.
WHAT DO YOU DO ABOUT THAT?
OR WHY DID THEY DO THAT?
IS A BECAUSE THEY ARE LAZY?
KNOW, THEY SHOWED UP AND DELIBERATED AND VOTED NO.
WAS IT BECAUSE THEY OVERPROMISED?
THEY DIDN'T PROMISE TO KILL OBAMA CARE.
AND BY THE WAY, THE TIMES THAT LISA MARKOWSKI INTIMATED THAT,
YOU SHOULD HOLD HER ACCOUNTABLE THAT I UNDERSTAND THAT.
BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY, THEY VOTED NO NOT BECAUSE THEY
WERE INCOMPETENT AND DIDN'T KNOW THEY WERE DOING.
THEY VOTED NO BECAUSE THEY DO NOT AGREE.
THEY DON'T AGREE WITH THE BILL.
THEY THINK IT WOULD TAKE AWAY INSURANCE FROM AT LEAST 20
MILLION PEOPLE AND IT WOULD LEAD TO HIGHER RATES AND YES, THEY
WOULD PROBABLY LOSE THEIR SEATS BUT ALSO, MILLIONS OF PEOPLE IN
THEIR STATES COULD GET AFFECTED SO THEY DON'T AGREE.
THAT IS YOUR NUMBER ONE PROBLEM.
YOU CAN'T JUST SAY CONGRESS, WHAT ARE YOU JUST AGREE?
THAT IS NOT A SOLUTION.
THEY DON'T HAVE THE INTELLECT FOR THE JOB.
THANK GOD FOR THAT.
IF THEY WERE SMART THEY MIGHT BE ABLE TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO PASS
A DISASTROUS BILL THAT WOULD HER ALL OF US WHAT WOULD GREATLY
OTHER DONORS POLITICALLY, THEY ARE TOO DUMB TO FIGURE IT OUT.
