McConnell tees up fight on unemployment benefits
By Jordain Carney - 07/30/20 03:14 PM EDT

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) is turning the Senate toward a fight on federal unemployment benefits, which are set to expire on Friday.

The decision comes after Democrats blocked a vote on a GOP proposal earlier Thursday.

There is no sign that the two sides are close to a deal on the issue, or on a larger package intended to respond to the coronavirus crisis.

“We’ve had enough rope a dope. We’ve had enough empty talk. It’s time to go on the record,” McConnell said from the Senate floor.

Senate Republicans are voting to bring up a bill they will use as a vehicle for their competing unemployment proposals.McConnell did not say on the floor what proposal he will try to force a vote on, and didn’t respond to follow up questions as he went back to his office.

Tonight, once again, the White House offered a temporary extension of needed unemployment assistance—which expires tomorrow. And again, Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi said no.

What we’re seeing is clear.

This is a politically motivated party that won’t take “yes” for an answer.

The left outright OWNS all the major media in the west,so the leftist politicians don't even have to pretend to be pro-American anymore. There is no longer anyone left with a "soap box" to speak truth from.
