Sen. Ruben Gallego Boasts About Using Filibuster To Block Trump Agenda After Campaigning To Abolish It

He boasted about using the filibuster to tank GOP legislation when asked by an attendee what Senate Democrats had in their toolkit to fight President Donald Trump and congressional Republicans.

“What I have within my power are certain things like … I’m holding every political appointee from the VA [Department of Veterans Affairs],” Gallego said referring to Senate Democrats’ various holds on the president’s nominees. “We’ve used the filibuster whenever we can, but again they’re not running through this [the Senate].”

“Unlike Kyrsten Sinema, Ruben Gallego will vote to abolish the filibuster in order to be on the right side of the issues that matter,”
