Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), speaks to reporters on Capitol Hill, June 28 in Washington, DC. | Getty Trump rebuts McConnell: Clinton 'not capable'

Unlike Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), Donald Trump does not see Hillary Clinton as "capable."

"ISIS exploded on Hillary Clinton's watch — she's done nothing about it and never will. Not capable!" the presumptive Republican nominee tweeted Wednesday.


In an interview with Time Warner Cable News on Tuesday, the Kentucky Republican suggested that Trump is not yet a credible presidential candidate, adding, according to the report, that the former secretary of state and his former Senate colleague is "intelligent and capable," before adding that he hoped Republicans retake the White House in November.

McConnell offered similar language last July when The Associated Press reported that he had characterized her as such while criticizing her emphasis on the "gender card," although he was not directly quoted.

Asked in the interview Tuesday whether Trump has crossed the threshold of credibility, McConnell responded, "He’s getting closer. Getting closer."
