President Donald Trump, who was actively vying to overturn the election results at the time, called McConnell immediately and “spewed expletives,” according to a new book, “Peril,” by Bob Woodward and Robert Costa.

“Mr. President,” the Kentucky Republican said, “the Electoral College has spoken. That’s the way we pick a president in this country.”

Trump lambasted McConnell as disloyal and weak, the book said. The president seemingly wanted McConnell to embrace the Big Lie, or the false notion that the election was stolen from him.

McConnell’s final remark to Trump on the call was, “You lost the election, the Electoral College has spoken,” according to the book.
