| Description | Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said on Monday that former President Obama should have held back from criticizing President Trump's handling of the coronavirus, calling the decision "a little bit classless."
Lara Trump, during an online Trump campaign event, told McConnell that Obama "slammed" Trump over his response to the coronavirus.
McConnell replied that Obama should have followed the lead of former President George W. Bush, who largely sidestepped weighing on politics after he left the White House. McConnell noted that the former GOP president and his father, former President George H.W. Bush, "kept their mouths shut" after leaving office because they didn't think it was "appropriate" to critique another president. |
