Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell slammed former President Barack Obama on Monday for his criticism of President Donald Trump's response to the coronavirus pandemic. He said that Obama is "a little bit classless."
He said that Obama "should have kept his mouth shut" regarding the situation, and I agree. Shouldn't the sleazeball be more concerned with the investigations on his shady dealings while he was president?
The Hill reports:
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.
"You had your shot. You were there for eight years. I think the tradition that the Bushes set up of not critiquing the president who comes after you is a good tradition," he continued.
Neither Lara Trump nor McConnell specified which Obama comments they were referring to.
But Obama, during a private phone call, characterized the administration's response as an "absolute chaotic disaster" that stemmed from a "what's in it for me" mindset.
"It's part of the reason why the response to this global crisis has been so anemic and spotty," Obama declared, "It would have been bad even with the best of governments. It has been an absolute chaotic disaster when that mindset of 'what's in it for me' and 'to heck with everybody else' ... is operationalized in our government."
McConnell added that Obama should be more like former President George W. Bush, and keep his nose out of politics after leaving the White House.
Obama is trying so hard to be a shadow president, and it's annoying. We didn't want him for the first eight years he was in control, and we don't want him now.
