Resumes taunts of Mitch McConnell over healthcare Bill

President Donald Trump resumed his taunts of his party’s Senate leader on Thursday, expressing disbelief that Majority Leader Mitch McConnell could not persuade a Republican majority to pass a healthcare Bill.

“Can you believe that Mitch McConnell, who has screamed Repeal & Replace for 7 years, couldn’t get it done. Must Repeal & Replace ObamaCare!” Mr. Trump tweeted on Thursday.

The President bristled this week after Mr. McConnell told an audience in his home State that Mr. Trump had “not been in this line of work before” and had “excessive expectations about how quickly things happen in the democratic process.” Both before and after taking office, Mr. Trump spoke repeatedly about passing the massive healthcare overhaul quickly.

Asked to respond to Mr. Trump’s statement, Mr. McConnell’s spokesman David Popp said, “The leader has spoken repeatedly about the path forward regarding Obamacare repeal and replace on the Senate floor, at media availabilities and in Kentucky.”
