This will Be quick, I am on my lunch break. I just wanted to point out, highlight, and underscore the obvious rank hypocrisy and gamesmanship that tRump and McConnell are using in an attempt to discredit and harm Speaker Pelosi.
One month ago, during the last Congress, Speaker Ryan “called Nancy Pelosi’s bluff” after she famously told him to his face and in front of the Press that he did not have the votes to get his wall funding legislation passed in the House.
Well, under threat of a government shutdown at tRump’s insistence he get the money, Speaker Ryan put it to a vote, and passed the funding the pResident wanted.
There was only one thing left before tRump could sign his crucial funding into law: it had to pass McConnell’s Senate.
That was a no-brainer, right? All McConnell had to do was call a vote, pass the House version, get the pResident’s signature on it, and the government shutdown that was about to happen right at the start of the Christmas holidays would be averted.
But, he decided not to hold the vote. Even with the certainty that Speaker Pelosi would never give him the chance in the new Congress.
Why?
It can only be because their political strategy means more to them than all the pain and misery they are causing throughout the country right now.
