The cracks between President Donald Trump and his more ardent supporters continue to widen as the impeachment inquiry progresses. On Tuesday, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky contradicted a claim Trump made.

Asked by a reporter about a claim by the President that he had exonerated him for his call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, McConnell was quick to correct them.

Watch the interaction here.

Not only did GOP Senator McConnell state he didn't tell the President his Ukrainian phone call was "perfect," he also said no discussion with the President about the call ever took place.

The denial and contradiction are a departure for McConnell. And with his closest allies seemingly abandoning him, some wondered how Trump would react.

Others commented on Trump's odd choice of words to describe his call.

Others questioned who was more believable.

While many wondered what took McConnell so long.

But some thought the turnaround had more to do with McConnell's reelection bid in 2020 and current poll numbers for both the President and the Kentucky Senator.

Whatever the reasoning, McConnell demonstrated that the GOP leadership is no longer in lock step with President Trump. What that means for the impeachment inquiry remains to be seen.

Trump Administration Dragged After U.S. Military Shoots Down One Of Our Own Drones Over Texas

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has long emphasized the "warrior ethos" he expects from the U.S. military but now his leadership (to say nothing of the Trump administration as a whole) is facing criticism after military personnel shot down a drone operated by U.S. Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) on Thursday in Texas in yet another display of incompetence.

Lawmakers said that the military used a laser to down a CBP drone at Fort Hancock, leading the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to expand flight restrictions near El Paso, Texas. The reason for the laser use remains unclear, but it was the second such deployment in the area in two weeks, despite rules requiring coordination with aviation regulators.

The Tkachuk brothers, Brady—who plays professional hockey for the Ottawa Senators based in the capital city in the province of Ontario, Canada—and Matthew—who plays for the Florida Panthers based in the metro Miami area—had already drawn ire online for being proud supporters of MAGA Republican President Donald Trump during the 2026 Milano Cortina Winter Olympics even before the disastrous locker room celebration with FBI Director Kash Patel after their gold medal win.
