Trump hits Mitch McConnell for 'destroying our oceans' with 'windmills' when asked about the GOP leader's health scare

• Trump weighed in on Mitch McConnell's recent health scare, in which he froze up at a podium.
• Trump said it was a "sad thing to see" — but spent most of his time bashing the GOP leader.

Former President Donald Trump weighed in on Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell's recent health scare — and if his response was any indication, he doesn't seem to be all that concerned.

In an interview with Breitbart published on Sunday, Trump said he had seen the video from last week of McConnell freezing up for several seconds in front of reporters before being led away.

The striking moment, which came after the Kentucky Republican suffered numerous previously-undisclosed falls in recent months, has led to broader speculation about his health.

"I thought it was sad," said Trump, before immediately pivoting to attacking McConnell. "At the same time, I think it's a shame he went so far out to give Green New Deal money to [President Joe Biden] and Democrats."

"That was a sad thing to see. He had a bad fall, I guess, and probably an after-effect of that," Trump later added. "But it was also sad that he gave trillions and trillions and trillions of dollars to the Democrats to waste on the Green New Deal, destroying our oceans and destroying our great, beautiful vistas and plains all over our country with windmills that are very expensive energy. So that's a very sad thing also."

Trump was almost certainly referring to the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, a $1.2 trillion bill that McConnell and 18 other Republican senators supported in 2021.

Some of that money has gone towards both land and offshore wind energy projects — and Trump famously hates windmills, which dates back to his attempts to block the development of wind turbines off the coast from one of his golf courses in Scotland.

A spokesman for McConnell declined to comment.

Trump and McConnell have had a frosty relationship for years, stemming from the Senate GOP leader's refusal to go along with the former president's attempts to overturn the 2020 election results. The last time the two men spoke was in December of 2020.
