Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) has speculated that discussion about red flag laws and background checks will be “front and center” when the Senate reconvenes — at its regularly scheduled time.
McConnell has refused calls to bring the Senate back early to work in response to the mass shootings in Dayton, Ohio and El Paso, Texas, despite pleas from Democrats.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) has given up on him altogether and is imploring President Donald Trump directly to avail himself of his constitutional power to convene the Senate so members can vote on a House-passed background check bill.
“Mr. President, we have an opportunity to work in a bipartisan way to pass gun violence prevention background checks,” she wrote in a Thursday letter. “However, Leader Mitch McConnell, describing himself as the ‘grim reaper,’ has been an obstacle to taking any action.”
Read her letter here:
“McConnell has refused calls to bring the Senate back early to work in response to the mass shootings in Dayton, Ohio and El Paso, Texas”
This should be a death stroke on his career as well as many of the other Republicans. Without being ghoulish about it, the shootings this round have provided rich fodder for the opposition.
I do not care what issue it is, every time a Republican opens his mouth, just simply say “But you did nothing!”. and leave it at that. They have not a single thing to hook into and counter their behavior. And El Paso and Dayton at the illustration at every turn.
Given up on McConnell reconvening Senate but is asking the racist-in-chief to call them back. I bet we all know how that will go besides nowhere.
Mitch McConnell is living in “The days of yore” .

About the Senate Committee System
Due to the high volume and complexity of its work, the Senate divides its tasks among 20 permanent committees, four joint committees, and occasionally temporary committees. The Senate has established guidelines for committees, but each committee adopts its own rules and procedures.

Mitch McConnell has been exsposed and he can no longer hide,the whole country now knows who he is and they want something done,to curb or at least address what’s going on in our country RIGHT NOW !
The only thing that can change this, I’m afraid, is if another horrific shooting keeps it on people’s minds. The NRA and Moscow Mitch count on the news cycle to change the subject. How do you focus your efforts when every day brings a new and different outrage?
And we can’t forget Gilroy California,and that incident seems to have vanished from the MSM,and Trumps visits.
