‘I just sent a letter to Mitch McConnell asking his committee to stop stalling the SAVE Act,’ Rep. Brandon Gill said.
Old glitching Mitch appears to be glitching again. Is his Trump hate showing?
As Sen. Mitch McConnell prepares to ride off into the congressional sunset, the Kentucky Republican is said to be sticking it to President Donald Trump one more time. And the sticking this time, not surprisingly, involves one of Trump’s most urgent concerns: election integrity.
“Oh, yeah, that’s what McConnell is doing. Personally speaking, I think it still stems from Jan. 6 (2021 Capitol riots),” a top congressional aide told The Federalist on Thursday afternoon, as the battle over the SAVE Act ground down to trench warfare.
“Of course, Trump hasn’t had nice things to say about McConnell, and vice versa, but I think it’s personal, no matter what (McConnell) says,” the aide added.
The 83-year-old former Majority Leader’s latest trip to the hospital this week for “flu-like” symptoms has slowed the pace even more so on whatever version of the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act (SAVE Act) the listless GOP majority believes can squeak through. But McConnell’s intransigence on a bill that humbly asks for proof of U.S. citizenship to vote in U.S. elections has been felt over the nearly 300 days since the Republican-controlled House passed the measure.
To say House Republicans have had it, doesn’t quite say enough.
“I just sent a letter to Mitch McConnell asking his committee to stop stalling the SAVE Act,” Texas Rep. Brandon Gill wrote on X earlier this week. “The House did its job. The Senate needs to do theirs.”
The letter, signed by Republican Study Committee members, reminds McConnell, chairman of the Senate Rules and Administration Committee, that he has “unique authority to add this critical legislation to the markup calendar and advance it to the Senate floor for a vote.”
“As the 2026 midterm elections are swiftly approaching, Congress cannot afford to delay the consideration of critical legislation that will assure the trustworthiness of our elections,” Gill warned. The Texas congressman notes that 48 of McConnell’s Republican Senate colleagues — a super majority of the Republican Senate Conference — have cosponsored the legislation. The Kentucky Republican is not one of them.
‘Thune Must Bring It’
Dealing with what Lincoln called “a case of the slows”, The authors of the SAVE Act have introduced the SAVE America Act, which adds a voter identification requirement to the original measure. Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., last week said the provision requiring voters present an eligible photo ID before casting their ballots would come to the floor “at some point.”
Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, who co-authored the SAVE America Act with Utah Republican Sen. Mike Lee, said the House will take up the “improved version” of the bill next week.
“Once the bill passes the House, Leader Thune must bring it to the Senate floor and force Democrats to explain why they oppose securing our elections,” Roy said in a statement......SNIP
He’s going to stick it to the entire county to spite one man.
Mitch needs to go.
He’s mostly gone now
Thanks Kentucky.
Damn RAT infiltrator.
The Ditch has no idea what is going on.
Probably more senile than Biden.
We need to create a new Senate leadership that will push out those who are too old or too RINO for their red state they represent.
Or would that be Elaine and her daddy?
Mitch is doing nothing but eating applesauce and drooling. It’s the people with their hands up Mitch’s butt and operating him like a Henson doll that are making these decisions.
He’s been a property of the CCP for decades.
WDC is FULL of them!
AND, evil petty women, also!
Mitch the traitor has done worse.
He had a hand in the Russian hoax which was a coup attempt in Trump’s first term.
Of course, he had a hand in the successful coup which illegitimately installed Biden.
He forced Barr on Trump who NEVER disputed the spies that lied.
Which was the linchpin of the coup.
In fact, one has to question EVERY GOP senator in office from November 2019 to the November 2020 for NOT coming forward and demanding the authenticity of the laptop from hell be determined one way or another.
For God’s sake, Little Marco was chair of the intelligence committee and he didn’t have the ability to verify the laptop.
EVERY United States Senator is a treacherous snake no matter what wing of the uniparty they are affiliated with and this matter is proof positive evidence that they were all in on the coup.
Think about it, how is it that NO GOP senator came forward demanding that the authenticity of laptop be determined one way or the other during that period Trump was actively running for re-election.
Trump is on the record as saying if the laptop had been authenticated before the election it would have resulted in a 16 point swing and the margin would have been too big to steal.
The ROTTEN DEEP STATE sat on it for a year and if you don’t see that as a coordinated UNIPARTY coup then you are blind to truth.
Damn spiteful old anti-American coot.
* 300 days since the House passed it.
* 48 Republican Senators cosponsored it.
And still he blocks it.
TOES UP WORKS FOR ME
Now is the wheelchair off the cliff moment.
I suppose if we just put polling locations inside liquor stores we could accomplish the same thing.
Smother that peckerhead..
Ad Cassidy of Louisiana in there as well. We have so many democrat senators that call themselves Republican
Smother, like with a pillow?
Here’s the real gameplan. Remember when Ohio ex-senator (RINO) Rob Fn Portman carried the ball to put Mayorkas in as Homeland Security secretary. How well did that work out for us, spit. In October 2424, Portman and WV ex-senator Joe Manchin met at the University Of Cincinnati and were talking about open primaries or even some kind of ranked choice voting system. This is their next gameplan.
Abrasive, you’re sure-how? Unless you have worked directly with them, it’s just conjecture.
Like that traitorous little shitte McCain did on ObamaCare?
