Mitch McConnell Gets Standing Ovation After Taking a Subtle Swipe at Trump
Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) took a subtle jab at President-elect Donald Trump during a speech on Saturday night.
Speaking at the annual Reagan National Defense Forum at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, the Kentucky senator claimed that current “influential voices” were forgetting the threat of China and Russia and neglecting the history of the Cold War.
“Within the party Ronald Reagan once led so capably, it is increasingly fashionable to suggest that the sort of global leadership he modeled is no longer America’s place,” McConnell said per Politico which also wrote that he received a “standing ovation” after his speech. “But let’s be absolutely clear: America will not be made great again by those who are content to manage our decline,” referring to Trump’s slogan and seemingly taking a swipe at the president-elect.
