Democrats, Establishment Media Crushed by Senate Republicans Blocking Elections Takeover Bill
Wendell Husebø 22 Jun 2021
Democrats and the establishment media were crushed Tuesday by Senate Republicans’ filibuster of a bill that would hand the federal government control of local elections by canceling voter ID and funding political campaigns with tax money.
Reporter Jake Sherman of NBC News tweeted upon the defeat that “McConnell uses the ‘language and the logic’ of the southern [Democrat] senators in the 60s when it came to voting rights.”
Sahil Kapur from NBC News begrudgingly tweeted that Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV), who voted for the measure, continues to firmly support the “60-vote [filibuster] threshold. ‘I think y’all know where I stand on the filibuster.’ He adds: ‘The filibuster is needed to protect democracy.'”
Maggie Hassan (D-NH) attempted to divert attention from the radical measures of the bill and stated the failed measure would instead benefit billionaires and in turn make climate change worse.
Schumer said after the devastating blow there are more options on the table for the federal government to destroy election integrity.
