Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) declared Thursday on the floor that if Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) changes the filibuster rules with 51 votes, he’s “going to be remembered as the worst leader in the Senate, ever.”
Reid, in a colloquy on the floor, responded that McConnell “says the process works. Ha, ha, ha. The process works? The status quo is good? I don’t think so.” He said McConnell appears to be the only one who believes the Senate is working fine.
The majority leader mocked McConnell’s “big crocodile tears” over the possibility of a rules change.
