By Thursday, that appeared not to matter: In an interview on Fox News, McConnell said he would “absolutely” support Trump if the ex-president became the 2024 Republican nominee for president. “What happened in the past is not something relevant now,” McConnell said, just after host Brett Baier played a clip of the senator’s condemnation of Trump on February 13.

After Baier read a February statement from Trump saying the GOP “can never again be respected or strong with political ‘leaders’ like Mitch McConnell at its helm” and calling the senator a “dour, sullen, and unsmiling political … [Read more...] about McConnell Would ‘Absolutely’ Support Trump As 2024 Nominee

Stephen Miller: Joe Biden Immigration Policies ‘Cruel and Inhumane’
Senior adviser for former President Donald Trump Stephen Miller denounced President Joe Biden’s immigration policies on Wednesday, describing them as “cruel” and “inhumane.” “What we are seeing here is the cruelty and inhumanity of Joe Biden’s immigration policies,” Miller said in an interview with Fox News host Laura Ingraham. Since Biden was elected president, the number of unaccompanied minors apprehended at the Southern border has jumped significantly.
