Republican senators reportedly criticized Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) for pushing for the Senate to pass the SAVE America Act, with Republican senators John Cornyn (R-TX) and John Kennedy (R-LA) challenging “his strategy.”
In a post on X, Andrew Desiderio, a senior congressional reporter for Punchbowl News, shared that one source described the criticism of Lee’s push to pass the SAVE America Act as a “pile-on.” Desiderio also reported that Cornyn and Kennedy “complained” that President Donald Trump is “being led to believe it’s possible” to pass the SAVE America Act in the Senate.
“GOP senators went after Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) during the closed-door lunch meeting today over his push for the SAVE America Act, in what one source described as a ‘pile-on,'” Desiderio wrote.
Desiderio’s post continued: “Sens. Cornyn & Kennedy challenged Lee about his strategy and complained that Trump is being led to believe it’s possible for the Senate to pass it leading to Republicans attacking each other & Trump undermining his own agenda.”
In a post on X, Rachel Bovard, who serves as the vice president for the Conservative Partnership Institute, criticized the senators for using the “conference lunch to go after the one guy asking them” to pass the SAVE America Act.
“Using the conference lunch to go after the one guy asking them to please do something the country cares about, for a change, and then smugly leaking their outright contempt for the GOP base — and for the president! — to the campus regime scribes,” Bovard wrote.

Well two assholes pushing a sane individual in the senate, would have been three if the turtle could move. Nuking DC looks better everyday. /s
WTH IS WRONG WITH John Kennedy???
He’s establishment.
I haven’t been following this. Why are they against it?
Passing the SAVE ACT shouldn’t even be questionable...
Just to be clear.
This is everybody’s favorite senator, John Kennedy (R-LA), that’s undermining the SAVE ACT.
Kennedy talks a good game but he’s a moderate who always sides with the GOP establishment.
Just let America get Flushed by the democrats
Republican Senators are useless.
WTH is their problem?
They care about procedures and not doing the right thing.
Thune sucks. The filibuster is stupid.
Their inaction will keep people home in Nov.
Not whining about gas prices.
He’s ticked his butt buddy Cassidy is gone.
“He’s establishment.”
Apparently.
I did not know that and now he’s on my [it’s sadly a long] list.
I think the problem is that Trump wants it. And there are some Republicans in the Senate who refuse to give Trump anything he wants, because they don't like Trump. I'm totally serious.
Cornholio can go and F himself, the lying RINO turncoat…and Kennedy is beginning to look like the other Kennedy clan.
PASS THE SAVE ACT!!!! Time to stop the traitorous Dems from cheating in EVERY SINGLE ELECTION!
Kennedy. Kick him upstairs to the office of VP after JD gets appointed to SCOTUS. Use him for $hits and giggles for 2 years.
I know. It’s troubling to see that Cornyn and Kennedy are on the same side of an issue.
“””I haven’t been following this. Why are they against it?””””
The RINO Senators are beholden to the donors who like cheap immigrant labor. So if non-citizens are caught registering to vote their cheap labor goes bye-bye.
Even more important the RINO Senators do not want to debate the SAVE ACT because it is very popular and they do not want the public get excited about their non-action.
Kennedy Keeps everyone entertained but obviously he is another deep state pretender. Shame, l thought he was better than this.
Lyndon Johnson was Master of the Senate as Majority Leader and continued as President because he had two weapons at his command.
First was Drew Pearson, his hatchet man in the media. (This was why Joe McCarthy beat Pearson up in an elevator.)
Second was J. Edgar Hoover's private files on the sexual proclivities of senators.
Information is power.
Kennedy seems smarter than this, but he’s apparently just another Southern country bumpkin lieyah....
Why the heck CAN’T we force the democrats to have a standing filibuster?
Somebody please explain that to me.
If the democrats are willing to hold up all legislation for a year just to keep SAVE Act from passing, that will save us all from the harm done by the laws that would have been passed during that time AND it would reveal that democrats hold on to their election theft just as strongly as the IRGC holds onto its nukes.
And probably for the exact same reasons.
