Fox News host Sean Hannity ripped into Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R., Ky.) on Tuesday night and Wednesday morning, tweeting he is a “weak, spineless leader” who needs to retire.
Hannity, one of President Donald Trump’s most avid defenders in the media, sent almost identical tweets late Tuesday and early Wednesday.
@SenateMajLdr No Senator, YOU are a WEAK, SPINELESS leader who does not keep his word and you need to Retire! https://t.co/X85QQV3WOG

Hannity was responding to an ABC story posted on Tuesday, in which McConnell fretted Trump’s lack of political experience created “excessive expectations” regarding legislation.
McConnell spearheaded a failed Republican attempt last month to repeal and replace Obamacare, which was a campaign promise of Trump and Republicans. Trump constantly urged the GOP via Twitter to get the bill passed but McConnell ultimately fell one vote short of even a “skinny” repeal.
Hannity criticized him and House Speaker Paul Ryan (R., Wis.) during the campaign last year for not being sufficiently supportive of Trump.
UPDATED 6:57 A.M.: This story was updated with Hannity’s similar tweet sent Tuesday night.
