China Mitch McConnell thinks people would actually believe anything he says anymore. After backstabbing Trump and the 75 million who voted for him, McConnell is trying to play tough guy now, warning communist Democrats about ending the filibuster. Does anyone actually think China Mitch McConnell would do a damn thing is Chucky Schumer actually pulled this off? Not a chance.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell on Tuesday warned Democrats against scrapping the 60-vote requirement for legislation after a top Senate Democrat accidentally outed plans to steamroll another bill through Congress without Republican votes.
McConnell (R-Ky.) did not directly mention the Monday hot-mic revelation from Senate Small Business Committee Chairman Ben Cardin (D-Md.) and instead pegged his remarks to pressure mounted on centrist Sens. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) and Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) to fall in line.
“A number of Senate Democrats are trying to pressure the senior senators from West Virginia and Arizona to abandon their own very recent commitments to honor this central rule of the Senate,” McConnell said.
“The Senate Democrats who are pressuring our colleagues from Arizona and West Virginia to reverse themselves are not just arguing for some procedural tweak … They’re arguing for a radically less stable and less consensus-driven system of government.”
