Beyond a Hot Mess – McConnell Retreats from Support of Border Deal, Lankford May Vote Against His Own Legislation
February 5, 2024 | Sundance |
Exactly how bad is the “bipartisan” legislation, which should be called, ‘the border insecurity in exchange for Ukraine money act’? The bill is so bad, and makes things so much worse, that James Lankford may end up voting against his own legislative creation.
Making matters worse, Mitch McConnell is now pretendingthe entire fiasco wasn’t his idea, further leaving James Lankford out to dry on his own.
Politico) – […] Several members of GOP leadership came out against the legislation in the past 24 hours, further boxing in Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell. The Kentucky Republican, who supports the agreement linking border policy changes with aid to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan, called Monday’s meeting an “interesting discussion.”Inside the room, McConnell told Republicans that if they didn’t like the direction that the bill is going, they should vote against moving forward this week, according to two people briefed on the meeting who were granted anonymity to speak candidly.
According to two attendees, McConnell did not forcefully whip for or against the bill. He instead discussed the specific policies and politics of the legislation, which is opposed by Speaker Mike Johnson and former President Donald Trump.
Sen. James Lankford (R-Okla.), who struck the deal, even suggested he might vote against moving forward if his colleagues weren’t ready to move.“That’s not voting against the bill,” Lankford said of voting to filibuster the bill from coming to the floor. “So that’s not the final passage. That’s the beginning point.” (read more)
(They have already lost the trust of left and right,McConnell is going to be voted out as minority leader, and Lankford has been revealed to being a total liar.
He will be voted out, never to return to politics again. Same ending for McConnell! Get this Langford and McConnell worked with the left to write this bill,but now they are pretending, it was just an IQ test on other senators and congress.
Where they went wrong,they gave permission to senators not to vote for it, thats not how it works, unless that is how the tyrant McConnell did for years, which he did.)
