McConnell: Obama 'should have kept his mouth shut' on Trump's coronavirus response

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said on Monday that former President Obama should have held back from criticizing President Trump's handling of the coronavirus pandemic, calling Obama's critique "a little bit classless."

President Trump's daughter-in-law Lara Trump, during an online Trump campaign event, told McConnell that Obama "slammed" President Trump over his response to the coronavirus outbreak.

McConnell replied that Obama should have followed the lead of former President George W. Bush, who largely sidestepped weighing in on politics after he left the White House. McConnell also noted that the former GOP president and his father, former President George H.W. Bush, "kept their mouths shut" after leaving office because they didn't think it was "appropriate" to critique another president.

"I think President Obama should have kept his mouth shut. You know, we know he doesn't like much this administration is doing. That's understandable. But I think it's a little bit classless frankly to critique an administration that comes after you," McConnell said.

"a little bit classless"? MM, you are not fit to lick the dust off President Barack Obama's shoes.

[elleng]

1. 'Slammed' is classless,

it's nowhere near what President Obama did or said.

[DanieRains]

54. And Trump Has Never Once Mentioned President Obama Right Mitch?

Go f.... y.... Mitch.

The bodies are piling up.

[olegramps]

80. He represents the essence of the Republican Party: Unadulterated brainwashed garbage.

[bucolic_frolic]

2. After all that Birtherism? Seriously?

[samsingh]

3. i think Moscow mitch should have put America first.

[lagomorph777]

83. Moscow Mitch should have kept his beak shut.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

4. "I think it's a little bit classless frankly to critique an administration that comes after you."

How classless is it to critique the administration that came before you and blame it for everything that you've fucked up?

[LisaM]

9. Bingo.

That's it exactly. (And the George W. Bush administration wasn't above doing that, either).

[area51]

5. Sez the man who swears allegiance to Russia.

[EarlG]

6. Fuck off Mitch

So Trump shits on Obama on a daily basis, accused him for years of not even being born in this country, and today literally called him a criminal on national TV, and that’s fine.

But if Obama says on a private phone call that the current pandemic response is a disaster — which it is — that’s classless.

Right.

[dalton99a]

27. +1.

[Cha]

47. That was my first thought.. FO, Moscowmitch.

They want to start a fight with Pres Obama? Bring it.

[George II]

7. Mitch, were you offended when trump attacked the Chinese-American correspondent from CBS today?

Shouldn't you have been aghast inasmuch as your have a wife with the same background as Weijia Jiang?????

[sheshe2]

29. This!

[Hestia]

69. What people are missing is the exchange before that that got Drumpfie pissed off and he took

out on the CBS reporter - I think it was Jim Acosta - who pushed for answers about just exactly what crime PBO committed? He wouldn't let it lie. The next question was from the CBS reporter about why numbers matter in testing. It was misogynistic rather than racist.

Unfortunately, you have to watch the whole thing with signs proclaiming that America has test more people than the rest of the world or whatever.

[Ferrets are Cool]

8. My mouth is agape

Just shut your fucking mouth McTurtle. You fucking moron.

[Freethinker65]

10. Merrick Garland, you fucking self proclaimed Grim Reaper

STFU

Obama came to McConnell for a joint statement about Russian meddling for the good of the country and McConnell refused.

[vercetti2021]

11. Eat shit and die McConnell

Asshole

[smirkymonkey]

12. "A little bit classless?"

That man has some nerve after the way he and Trump have treated Obama and the way they have all but destroyed our democracy. Not to mentioned the fact that there is almost nobody that Trump won't criticize, insult or bully. And Mitch calls Obama classless? What a hypocrite!

Why on earth should Trump be off limits, especially since he and his administration are completly responsible for royally fucking up the response to the Covid-19 pandemic, making it by far the worst of any nation on the planet.

Burn in hell, Mitch! Nobody gives a damn what you think.

[dalton99a]

26. +1. How many times did Trump attack Obama by name?

Every goddamn day

[SledDriver]

13. Both HW and W were followed by incredibly successful Dems

They had nothing to critique.

[Solly Mack]

14. Fuck Mitch.

[iluvtennis]

35. + 1. nt

[agingdem]

15. Mitchie baby is terrified..

his fear is palpable...he's living in the land of dread that he created...holding on to the Senate?...odds are against him...getting re-elected?...ditto...all he has left is his vile devotion to a debauched, narcissistic lying orange sociopath...Mitchie you chinless sonofabitch, you took your shot at Obama and you missed...

[Thekaspervote]

21. Ouch!!

[Thekaspervote]

16. white A hole from a southern state

[truthisfreedom]

17. Moscow Mitch and Putin's Bitch never skip a day insulting Obama by name.

Endless tirades of insults have flowed from their putrid mouths, and when Obama speaks his mind, he's the bad guy?

Sorry, putin's cock holsters, you aren't fit to be pavement beneath the boots of the Democratic Party.

[Joinfortmill]

18. McConnell's day is coming.

[certainot]

22. it will come quickly when dems finally figure out the only advantage he has is

that we ignore talk radio

so limbaugh on 600 stations can keep calling obama a coup master and tell 20 mil /day obama is a traitor. he gets to attack michelle too, and democrats have no clue, and don't get their backs

we even let 87 universities support 260 limbaugh stations....

[flibbitygiblets]

19. Trump commented on literally everything Obama did, no matter how insignificant

Now Obama, who put together a world-class pandemic response team isn't allowed to weigh in on the devastating fallout of the jackass who dismantled it, called the pandemic a hoax, ignored the experts, and promoted unproven, dangerous and deadly treatments?

Oh reeeeeallllyyyyyy?

[Chemisse]

31. Really! Trump still bashes him on a daily basis and OBAMA is classless??? n/t

[Jarqui]

20. FU McTurtle, lying piece of shite

Funny how he takes a leaked audio of Obama seriously

But ignored the one with Paul Ryan, McCarthy, etc talking about who in the GOP, including Trump, are taking money from Putin/Russia.

Top Republican was recorded suggesting that Putin pays Trump
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/may/17/putin-pays-donald-trump-kevin-mccarthy-recording

What Senate hearings did McConnell hold to get to the bottom of that?

[abqtommy]

23. Hey Mitch, you think we can't come after tRUMP, Barr and yourself all at the same time?

Think again, you miserable piece of excrement!

[Glorfindel]

24. I'd like to think ol' McTurtle is researching countries without extradition

treaties with the United States in preparation for fleeing the country. He could probably find perfect contentment in Saudi Arabia.

[dalton99a]

25. Karma, get off your ass and do something about this vile, traitorous puss bag.

[sheshe2]

28. Classless:

A secret meeting on Obama's inauguration night and all you Gofer losers declared to make him a one term President, to do everything in your power to make it so. Didn't work out so well for ya, now did it. That uppity black man showed you and you are pissed.

STFU, Mitch.

[generalbetrayus]

30. I guess "a little bit classless" is the new Klanspeak

for "uppity".

[DinahMoeHum]

32. Mitch, go lick a doorknob then drink a Lysol cocktail.

Asshole.




#newrostrong

[denem]

33. I'm thinking a bleach enema,

with an airtight gag to spare us the whining.

[Moostache]

34. Cocaine Mitch or Moscow McConnell?

I forget which is more appropriate every day...but I DO know that 'class' and you are not on speaking terms...

[47of74]

36. McConnel should go fuck himself

[roamer65]

37. Go drink bleach, you traitorous fuckwit.

Fuck you, Moscow Mitch.

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

38. Translation: "He should have known his place."

President Obama did not spend his entire first term blaming Bush for the problems the country was enduring, even those Dubya created. He just buckled down and got to work.

I think our last real president just got tired of being lied about by someone who spent his first three months writing EOs to undo everything his predecessor had accomplished.

[elias7]

79. Racist dog whistle...

[spiderpig]

39. Mitch and his Demon Master can go straight to hell

I am tired of the lot of them

[UpInArms]

40. FU Moscow Mitch

The POS in the White House has been blaming Obama for “empty shelves”

And you , you sack of shit, deserve a seat in hell by the fire for eternity

[Volaris]

41. Mitch forgets that one of the reasons Jr kept quiet during Obama's term,

Is that jr knew damn well how hard Obama was working to repair the damage he had done. This is beside the fact that he didnt really wanna get prosecuted for committing an actual fucking war crime against the people of Iraq, and so wisely decided to keep his head down, his mouth fucking shut, and stay home and paint.

Mitch is just pissy that someone not totally and treasonously incompetent is calling trump, a treasonous incompetent.

And that makes mitchs job harder.

[MontanaMama]

42. Moscow Mitch says what?

[IronLionZion]

43. Time to make turtle soup

and elect Amy McGrath the next senator from Kentucky

[LudwigPastorius]

44. How was Turtle Boy able to comment on President Obama's phone call with his...

lips firmly puckered and full of Trump's ass-meat?

McConnell needs to start getting used to residing in the dust bin of history, as a quisling who traitorously put party over country, enabling the Worst President Of All Time.

Whereas, all Nobel-prize-winning, President Obama did was bring the country back from the brink of economic annihilation while helping millions of Americans get health care who were unable to before...all the while facing opposition and racist death threats at every step.

[Galraedia]

45. Trump can't tie his own shoes without blaming Obama.

No one has whined more about another president than Trump. Mitch McConnell says so much stupid sh*t even his chin is trying to escape his face. Perhaps he should take his own advise and STFU.

[marieo1]

46. Pot calling the kettle black.

McConnell is the most classless person I've ever heard of, except of course Trump!!! Go President Obama!!!

[TheNewNumberTwo]

[LoveMyCali]

50. From a man

who thinks Melania is a classy first lady.

[hay rick]

51. A lecture on class from McConnell? LOL

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

52. Moscow Mitch

Go Cheney yourself.

[Aussie105]

53. The classless monster,

the follower of a classless pretend potus, the leader of a classless GOP . . . . says WHAT?

Don't make me laugh!

Obama is a private citizen, freedom of speech, and all that. Your criticism is soundly rejected.

Sorry Mitch, you deserve the Darwin award surely coming your way soon.

[dchill]

55. Gee, Mitch, maybe you should try to be "a little bit classless."

That'd be great.

[BigmanPigman]

56. Covid...go get 'em!

(this goes for Barr and Dear Leader too). I DO want them to die (I really wish for them to live in painful agony throughout eternity) and would have preferred it 3+ years ago. The country would be safer, healthier and wealthier if they did not exist.

Go ahead and say that is not very nice of me, I don't give a shit! This Dem loves her fellow man and none of them are men, nor are they even humans.

[PatrickforO]

57. Classless, is it?

Trump and his Republican party, including Moscow Mitch, are the greatest single threat to all life on this planet that we face at this time.

Kudos to O for speaking out.

[Pepsidog]

58. F' You Turtle!!

[mitch96]

59. Pardon my french but he can go fuck himself with a rusty piece of rebar...

It seemed his sole job was to defeat EVERYTHING Obama was doing... Next round the democratic administration should take the gloves off.. grrrr.. I just leave it at that and not embarrass my self..
m

[Grokenstein]

60. Still eating in public, Moscow?

Asking for friends.

[Bigredhunk]

61. FU

Go f*ck yourself Yertle.

[DeminPennswoods]

62. He should give the same advice to Trump

regarding the daily tweets blaming Obama for every screw up Trump/his administration makes.

[C Moon]

63. :D :D :D :D :D :D :D : D: D:D :D:D :D !!!!

CLASSLESS???????!!!!!!!
And using Trump and Obama in the same sentence?

McConnell! You are as in touch as a dead cockroach!
I can't WAIT to see you voted out in November you creepy traitor to your own country!

[rpannier]

64. Classless. Next to that word is trumpolini's pic

Next to coward is mc connell

[sakabatou]

65. So, how come you don't tell Chump to shut-up about Obama, eh, McConnell?

[SunSeeker]

66. What would be classless is to NOT criticize the avoidable deaths of 80,000 Americans.

[UCmeNdc]

67. Vote all of the GOP bums out of office 2020! That includes Mitch McConnell!

[Aviation91]

68. Why?

Why should President Obama keep his mouth shut when Trump keeps making disparaging remarks and telling lies about the Obama Administration every day? This administration is slowly killing our family members, neighbors, friends, co-workers every single day. Now children are dying! It's a disgrace!

[Yellowdog88]

70. Maybe mention

That to Dick Cheney, you ham-faced asshole.

Payback for Merrick Garland is coming, criminal.

[NNadir]

71. McConnell is a racist, pure and simple. He thinks that no black person has a right to speak.

His entire political legacy is racism. History will condemn many people in these times, but he will be near the top of the list.

[McCamy Taylor]

72. Obama has more class in this little finger than Mitch

has in his whole body.

[Paladin]

73. Eat contaminated shit and die, Turtle Boy. (nt)

[yellowcanine]

74. Yeah, good luck with that, Moscow Mitch.

How's that Obama hate working out for ya, anyway?

[The Wizard]

75. In the eyes of the cult

and Trump enablers it's normal and accepted for Trump to rail against President Obama and everyone else he sees as an enemy. Maybe it's time for Mitch McConnell to shut the fuck up.
And President Obama was on a private call when he made those observations. Trump does it as official business.

[truthisfreedom]

76. Yeah, mitch, he's sure in trouble now, huh? I bet 45 will never let him join at Mar-a-lameo!

Buh-duh-crash! WE'LL BE HERE ALL WEEK, MOSCOW mITCH!

[RussBLib]

77. Duhbya Bush was too embarrassed to speak up much

After all, under him, the financial system of this country was damn near destroyed.

Not to mention Katrina, and 911.

At least Bush had a sense of embarrassment. What does Obama have to be embarrassed about?

[Aviation91]

78. Mitch McConnel aka Master Oogway!

[cayugafalls]

81. In 100 years he will still look the same. The microbes will refuse to eat his ugly ass...

To bad he actually thinks he is relevant.

[bucolic_frolic]

82. Just a southern racist way of sayin'

'shut your mouth, boy!'

Mitch needs to wear a facemask

[TheFourthMind]

84. Mitch McConnell is racist white trash living a taxpayer funded existence who reps a welfare state.

Now that's a classy guy.

[yardwork]

85. Shut up, McConnell. How dare he.

I've had enough of the racists in this country telling black people what to do.

Shut up and sit down, Mitch. You're a traitor and a racist.

This white woman has. had. enough.

(Self-edited before posting. You should have seen my first draft.)

[Jamastiene]

87. This.

McConnell's slip is showing. What he said was dog whistle territory. He is a racist POS.

[Wednesdays]

86. Dubya has kept his mouth shut since leaving office

simply because there's a vacuum between his ears. And I don't mean a household appliance.

[Jamastiene]

88. Racist dog whistle.

What he said was a racist dog whistle. McConnel's slip is showing.
