Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky chose not to escalate tensions between himself and former President Donald Trump when asked about Trump's recent insults towards him.
Trump called McConnell a "dumb son of a bitch" and a "stone-cold loser" during an April 10 speech to the Republican National Committee (RNC) at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida. He made the comments while accusing McConnell of not adequately defend him during Trump's second impeachment trial in February.
When asked about Trump's name-calling on Tuesday, McConnell responded, "What I'm concentrating on is the future."
