Outgoing Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) is once again drawing ire from conservatives after reports surfaced that he opposes President Trumpโ€™s potential use of recess appointments to bypass Senate gridlock.

RINO McConnell is siding with Democrats to obstruct Trumpโ€™s agenda.

The Gateway Pundit reported on Monday that according to a now-deleted tweet by Jane Mayer of The New Yorker, McConnell was quoted at a Washington gathering on Sunday as saying, โ€œThere will be no recess appointments.โ€

The tweet was later deleted for unclear reasons, and Mayer has neither retracted nor issued a clarification following its removal.

Assistant News Director for Florida Voice News called out Mayer, stating, โ€œWhy delete it? And NO retraction OR correction is listed on her account. Was she given a command by a higher up because of the blowback?โ€

Mayerโ€™s silence following the tweetโ€™s deletion has raised eyebrows, but conservative Senator Rick Scott pushed back against McConnellโ€™s alleged comments, declaring firmly, โ€œYes, there will be [recess appointments].โ€

ABC Congressional reporter Allison Pecorin asked McConnell on Monday whether he would support adjourning the Senate to allow President Trump to make recess appointments. McConnell dismissed the question with a flippant remark, saying, โ€œToo early for interviews in the hall.โ€

However, Punchbowl News reporter Andrew Desiderio confirmed that McConnell indeed privately expressed opposition to the idea.

โ€œMcConnell did, in fact, make a comment yesterday โ€” which was first revealed by a New Yorker reporter who subsequently deleted her tweet โ€” indicating heโ€™d oppose recess appointments,โ€ he wrote.

โ€œSenate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell signaled at a private event Sunday night that he opposes President-elect Donald Trumpโ€™s demand for recess appointments,โ€ Punchbowl News reported.

The news outlet continued, stating, โ€œOf course, McConnell wonโ€™t be in charge of the Senate next year, so his pronouncement here doesnโ€™t have as much weight as, say, if incoming Senate Majority Leader John Thune were to say something similar. Thune and other top Senate Republicans have taken a cautious line on this so far, saying that they will work to quickly consider Trumpโ€™s nominees with hearings and confirmation votes.โ€

Attention has now turned to Senator John Thune (R-SD), McConnellโ€™s protรฉgรฉ and a potential successor.

In a press conference Wednesday, Thune stated, โ€œWe will look at and explore all options to make sure [President Trumpโ€™s nominees] get moved quickly.โ€

He also took to X to emphasize, โ€œWe must act quickly and decisively to get the presidentโ€™s nominees in place as soon as possible, & all options are on the table to make that happen, including recess appointments. We cannot let Schumer and Senate Dems block the will of the American people.โ€
