‘Gag and Vote For It Anyway’: McConnell Urges Republican Hold Outs to Back House Coronavirus Bill
National Review ^ | March 17, 2020 3:52 PM | By TOBIAS HOONHOUT

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Tuesday that he would push ahead with passing the $100-billion stimulus package negotiated between the White House and House Democrats last week, adding that Senate Republicans with reservations about the bill should “gag” them.

“We’re going to go on and vote as soon as the Senate can get permission to vote on the bill that came over from the House, send it down to the President . . . and reassure the people around the country,” McConnell said. He added that “a number of my members think there are considerable shortcomings in the House bill. My counsel to them is to gag and vote for it anyway.”

Huge question I have is are there snakes in this bill, like touching emergency border wall funding?

MITCH,
Pass a clean bill. How hard is that? Sick of every bill that requires emergency legislation has 666 lbs of barnacles attached.

This is why the gutless GOP loses the fight: they give up.

When will we get another leader like Newt Gingrich?

I realize McConnell has done some good things, but a good leader would have done more. I fear he's cowardly when it comes to fighting the demagogue Democrats. Why?

JUST STOP COMPROMISING WITH THE LIBERALS WHO HATE THE U.S. AND WANT TO DESTROY IT!!

I hate this jerk. Sure, PANIC and give the left anything they want. Grow the massive bureaucracy again.

If the Dems get federal funding for abortion out of this evangelicals will stay home in Nov.

He doesn’t know to use his majority. Too long in the minority.

Cave as always.

Hoping someone can check my memory.... but didn’t Obama do something like this — the Congress had passed something he didn’t like. He signed it, but then declined to spend the appropriation (or something like that)?

mini, gates & soros should have this covered. Can we make a law to target them? We’re target practice for them.
