Several Republican leaders on Sunday expressed concern at incendiary comments made by former President Donald Trump during a speech Saturday night at a Republican National Committee donor retreat.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnything that’s divisive is a concern and is not helpful for us fighting the battles in Washington and at the state level,\u201d Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson said on CNN\u2019s \u201cState of the Union.\u201d \u201cIn some ways, it’s not a big deal, what he said, but, at the same time, whenever it draws attention, we don’t need that. We need unity.\u201d<\/p>\n

The former president went off-script in a roughly 50-minute keynote speech at his Mar-a-Lago resort in South Florida, ripping into Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell<\/a>, even calling him a \u201cdumb son of a bitch.\u201d Trump also took aim at former Vice President Mike Pence \u2014 saying he was \u201cdisappointed\u201d in him for not fighting the certification of the election results in January \u2014 as well as Anthony Fauci, who Trump said was \u201cfull of crap.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s verbal attacks come as the former president has reemerged into the world of GOP politics in recent days \u2014 ramping up fundraising efforts and shelling out endorsements for the 2022 midterm elections.<\/p>\n

Several GOP leaders pushed back on Trump’s fiery rhetoric, deeming it \u201cnot helpful\u201d in uniting the Republican Party before the 2022 elections.<\/p>\n

When asked by NBC\u2019s Chuck Todd whether Trump\u2019s voice is \u201chelpful\u201d to the Republican Party, Hutchinson, the Arkansas governor, responded: \u201cWell, I don’t think his most recent comments about Sen. McConnell were helpful if they were reported accurately.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSo to me, you’ve got to engage in the fight that we have in 2022,\u201d Hutchinson continued. \u201cRight now, we’ve got some important fights in Washington about a big government solution to every problem that we have. And the Republican voice is important.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), an outspoken critic of the former president, told \u201cFace the Nation\u201d host Margaret Brennan on CBS that Trump in his Mar-a-Lago speech used \u201cthe same language that he knows provoked violence on Jan. 6.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a party, we need to be focused on the future. We need to be focused on embracing the Constitution, not embracing insurrection. I think it’s very important for people to realize that a fundamental part of the Constitution, and of who we are as Americans, is the rule of law, it’s the judicial process,\u201d Cheney said. <\/p>\n

Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.) said on “Fox News Sunday” that amid Trump\u2019s rhetoric and \u201csome of the things flying back and forth,\u201d Republicans \u2014 including Trump and McConnell \u2014 should be united in \u201cworking to defeat Democrats.\u201d <\/p>\n

Thune, like McConnell, has been the target of Trump’s ire in recent months for refusing to support Trump’s challenge to the 2020 presidential election results.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, look, it’s just \u2014 like I said, I think a lot of that rhetoric is \u2014 you know, it’s part of the style and tone that comes with the former president, but I think he and Mitch McConnell have a common goal, and that is getting the majority back in 2022, and in the end hopefully that will be the thing that unites us,\u201d Thune said. <\/p>\n
