Trump goes after McConnell, Fauci in off-script Mar-a-Lago speech

Former President Trump blasted Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell, calling him a "dumb son of a b----," in decidely off-script remarks at a major Republican National Committee donor gathering Saturday night.

The event took place at Trump's Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Florida, where the nation's 45th president delivered a keynote address that often veered away from an advance release of his speech.

"If that were Schumer instead of this dumb son of a b----, Mitch McConnell, they would never allow it to happen," Trump said of the certification of the 2020 election results at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, according to The Washington Post.

"They would have fought it," Trump said, also referring to the election as "bulls---" at one point.

Trump vowed in the speech he would help Republicans win back the majority in Congress in 2022.

"I stand before you this evening filled with confidence that in 2022, we are going to take back the House and we are going to reclaim the Senate," he said in his prepared remarks, according to Reuters.

Trump didn’t say whether he plans to run for president again but assured donors "in 2024, a Republican candidate is going to win the White House."

He said any potential announcements of his own candidacy would likely come after the 2022 midterms, according to Reuters.
