Trump demands GOP staffer be fired for making McConnell look ‘out of it’
Trump said Robert Karem should be fired after a Senate hearing exchange that he said made Mitch McConnell look foolish and out of it.
- President Donald Trump demanded Wednesday that congressional aide Robert Karem be fired for making Republican Senator Mitch McConnell "look foolish and completely out of it" during a Senate Appropriations Committee hearing.
- During Tuesday's hearing, McConnell attempted to conclude proceedings while Senators Tammy Baldwin, Jeanne Shaheen, and John Kennedy still had questions; Karem intervened to ensure they could participate.
- Trump defended McConnell on Truth Social, claiming the 84-year-old leader was not confused but unaware why he was being interrupted. He accused Karem of "grandstanding" and having "tremendous" support from Democrats.
- Journalists noted that Karem is a respected Capitol Hill national security staffer who served as a Department of Defense appointee under Trump, contradicting the president's "Never Trumper" label.
