Jenna Ellis, an ex-legal adviser to former President Donald Trump, sparked anger on Thursday with another sick hot take.
The lawyer responded to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s hospitalization for concussion treatment after he fell at a dinner function with mockery.
Ellis, who earlier this week was censured for spewing Trump’s 2020 election lies, shared a video featuring a turtle falling downstairs. McConnell has for years been likened to a turtle from both sides of the aisle.
“BREAKING: Camera footage from last night’s McConnell dinner obtained,” she captioned the clip.

The post drew fierce condemnation on Twitter.
“The basic lack of humanity constantly displayed by these people is truly remarkable,” responded CNN’s Jake Tapper.

It wasn't funny when Rand Paul's ribs were broken by his neighbor, wasn't funny when Paul Pelosi got hit in head w/hammer, wasn't funny when McConnell went to the hospital last night.
Be human before you're a partisan & quit cheering for humans getting hurt, you f*cking ghouls. https://t.co/ozV8OoCm3o— Sarah Rumpf (@rumpfshaker) March 9, 2023
So much Christian spirit.
By the way shouldn’t you be clearing road kill in a jumpsuit or something? https://t.co/4uSb0xYF9Z— Jonah Goldberg (@JonahDispatch) March 9, 2023

I can’t stand the man’s politics but I hope he heals quickly and seriously thinks about retiring.
This is from his own party. https://t.co/b2dzop9eT1— Randy Bryce (@IronStache) March 9, 2023
Hard to believe this person was just censured by a Colorado judge who said she had a “reckless state of mind” and “a selfish motive”. https://t.co/MeaBRz5tyA
