Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) on Tuesday urged Republican senators to vote later in the day to open debate on a measure to repeal Obamacare, though nobody knows what proposal they’ll be voting on yet.
“If other senators agree and join me in voting yes on the motion to proceed, we can move one step closer to sending legislation to the President for his signature,” McConnell said, speaking from the Senate floor. “I hope everyone will seize the moment. I certainly will.”
He thanked President Donald Trump’s administration “for its continued close work” with lawmakers on the repeal process, and repeated Trump’s warning to any Republican senator who votes against the proposal.
“I’d like to reiterate what the President said yesterday,” McConnell said. “Any senator who votes against starting debate is telling America that you’re just fine with the Obamacare nightmare.”
But if it fails, it’s definitely not Trump’s fault. He’s just doing it out of the goodness of his heart, bolstering the efforts without actually taking any ownership.
Like lining up for an ill-fated bayonet charge but being expected to be set free when all of your comrades are taken prisoner.
As a frequent caller I can say as fact, McConnell’s DC office only answers the telephone every other blue moon with a live person but never a means to record a message while only the Bowling Green office will regularly afford a caller a message record ability.
With this in mind I believe McConnell was lying when he said he regularly hears from Kentuckians.
Pre-selected, Republican-contributor-only Kentuckians should not count…
I would like to reiterate that Mitch McConnell is a steaming pile of horseshit. Screw him, his jowls and his corruption of the U.S. Senate. He is an utter disgrace to humanity.
“Yep, guys, just reach into that dark hole and seize whatever you find in there! Don’t pay any attention to that rattling sound.”
