Senator Chuck Schumer was not kind to Republicans as he excoriated them for their expected NO VOTE on debating the S1 Voting Rights bill. (I removed the long pauses.)
Senator Schumer hits the nail on the head
Chuck Schumer did not mince his words as he slammed Republicans for their expected filibuster of the “For The People Act of 2021,” Senate Bill S 1. He itemized one by one the techniques that Republicans are using to suppress the vote.
As per Yahoo,
In anticipation of the Senate vote Tuesday evening on the For the People Act, a bill intended to expand voting rights and counter restrictive voting laws pushed by GOP lawmakers, Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., denounced Republican efforts to stop the legislation from being passed.
In remarks on the Senate floor Tuesday morning, Schumer said, “Donald Trump, fresh off a resounding loss in the 2020 presidential election, cried foul and lied — lied — that the election was stolen from him, like a petulant child.”
Schumer focused on the former president’s role in the politicization of voting rights, which created Republican opposition that had not previously existed. He described how Act 77, the Pennsylvania law that legalized no-excuse mail-in voting, was passed by a Republican majority in the state Legislature in 2019. A year later, due to Trump’s baseless accusations of voter mail fraud, Republican lawmakers promptly proposed repealing the law.
Now it is the time to kill the filibuster.
