On Tuesday, Vice President JD Vance issued an unusual public criticism of former Republican leader Mitch McConnell for his refusal to endorse a significant Pentagon nominee, igniting a wave of criticism from MAGA supporters.
Following President Donald Trump’s selection of Elbridge Colby as the chief policy strategist at the Defense Department, McConnell became the sole Republican to oppose his nomination, leading to the ensuing verbal conflict.
In a statement that quickly gained traction on social media, McConnell remarked, “America will not be made great again by those who are content to manage our decline.”
