Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer questioned the “courage” of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell after he attended a meeting with Donald Trump.
McConnell had not spoken with Trump since their falling out over the Jan. 6 riot and only begrudgingly endorsed him for president after he locked up the GOP nomination earlier this year.
“McConnell should have had the courage not to show up,” he added. “He knows, I think he knows deep in his heart what Trump is like and what Trump would do.” But the two attempted to repair their relationship on Thursday. Trump struck a conciliatory tone, according to senators who attended, while McConnell described the meeting as “really positive.”“It was an entirely positive meeting,” McConnell added. “I can’t think of anything out of it to tell you that was negative.”
But Senate GOP leadership remains at odds with Schumer on just about all other fronts. One Republican leadership aide accused the majority leader of hypocrisy on Israel in response to his attack on McConnell.
