Breitbart ^ | 07/02/2021 | Hannah Bleu

Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) called to eliminate the filibuster on Friday, saying it is preventing Democrats from passing their radical “voting rights” legislation, which would ultimately nationalize U.S. elections.

“57 years ago today, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was signed into law. It overcame the longest filibuster in Senate history. All these years later and the filibuster is still being used to block voting rights legislation,” Durbin said, urging Congress to “protect voting rights now”:

Durbin failed to mention that KKK Byrd, a DemonicRat obviously, was the one blocking the civil rights voting law. Because that is what DemonicRats have always done, keep minorities down.

The longest filibuster in Senate history in 1964 was done by Democrat Robert “KKK” Byrd.

Did Durbin participate in any of the over 500 filibusters Democrats had during the Trump term?

Notice he doesn’t mention who was doing the filibustering and how DEmocRats fought passage so his filibustering excuse is ridiculous in and of itself.

The Party of the KKK is full of hoods. Pick a color. They don’t care. They are in power now.

Hoods and masks may do just that, mask and shade, but they can not render the smell of the party of death, doom and destruction benign unless a complicit media is behind them.

Durbin wants a fight. Trump needs to weigh in as I suspect no other Republican will.

Same w/13th -15th Amendments. Freeing the slaves, making citizens of them, and giving black men the right to vote are all thanks to Republicans.
