Donald Trump spewed expletives at then-Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) after McConnell congratulated Joe Biden on his election victory in a speech on the Senate floor, Washington Post journalists Bob Woodward and Robert Costa write in their upcoming book Peril.

Trump was apoplectic with McConnell for his congratulatory Dec. 15 comments and berated him in a furious telephone call as disloyal, according to excerpts from the book that Insider published Thursday .

You lost the election, the Electoral College has spoken, McConnell told Trump.

The Kentucky Republican hoped it would be the final time he and Trump would ever speak to each other, wrote Woodward and Costa.

Trump and McConnell have since repeatedly traded insults and criticism in speeches and reported comments, but until April at least had not spoken directly for months .

Trump had similar enraged responses to House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthys (R-Calif.) criticism of his incitement of the U.S. Capitol riot and former House Speaker Paul Ryans (R-Wis.) condemnation of white supremacy , per the book thats released next week.
