In a midnight social media post, President Trump ripped into an advisor who whispered in McConnell’s ear, making him ‘look foolish’ during a Senate Appropriations Meeting on Tuesday.
Senator Mitch McConnell on Tuesday chaired the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense and grilled Secretary of War Pete Hegseth about the fiscal year 2027 defense budget.
After the hearing, a clerk whispered in McConnell’s ear, making the elder Kentucky Senator look confused.
McConnell, 84, has suffered a series of freezing episodes and falls lately.
The clerk, identified as Robert Karem, made McConnell appear to be suffering from another freezing episode after he asked him to belatedly introduce Democrats after the hearing had concluded.
WATCH:
Trump called for Robert Karem to be fired.
Full statement from Trump:
The guy that came up to Mitch McConnell today when McConnell thought the hearing was over, and started speaking in his ear for Mitch to belatedly introduce some other people, all Democrats and, by doing so, made Mitch look foolish and completely out of it, should be immediately fired!
This was a case where Mitch wasn’t confused, he just didn’t understand why he was being asked to do something when it was too late, and people were wrapping up to leave — They wanted to go home.
His name is Robert Karem, he is a Never Trumper, and was grandstanding — trying to show how “important” he was! Karem has tremendous Democrat support, far greater than he should have, and is praised relentlessly by Obama’s people.
He is probably the reason why Mitch McConnell is stupidly opposed to terminating the Filibuster, and refuses to help with a 97% issue, THE SAVE AMERICA ACT. FIRE THE BUM! President DONALD J. TRUMP
