Former president Donald Trump called Mitch McConnell a “dumb son of a bitch” at an RNC event at Mar-a-Lago, but otherwise reportedly had little new to say other than repeat grievances about the 2020 election outcome and reprise old rhetoric.
Donald Trump reminded Republicans there was no “you” in unity during a 50-minute speech to GOP donors on Saturday night. Top Republicans and their funders had flocked to Palm Beach, Florida for a three-day RNC retreat, and at the headline Mar-a-Lago event, the former president played many of his biggest hits, such as his signature stolen-election routine, eye-defying crowd-size exaggeration, trademark xenophobia, and, of course, reprisals against his perceived Republican Party enemies — including an extended attack on Mitch McConnell, who Trump referred to as a “dumb son of a bitch.” Below is a quick recap of what Trump had on offer and repeat, according to various reports (the event was closed to the press, so this is all secondhand).
