Mitch McConnell Blocks Resolution Condemning Trump For Gassing Protesters

[ffr]

Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), That it is the Sense of Congress that the constitutional rights of Americans to peaceably assemble, exercise freedom of speech, and petition the government for redress of grievances must be respected; that violence and looting are unlawful, unacceptable and contrary to the purpose of peaceful protests; and that Congress condemns the President of the United States for ordering Federal officers to use gas and rubber bullets against the Americans who were peaceably protesting in Lafayette Square in Washington, DC on the night of June 1, 2020, thereby violating the constitutional rights of those peaceful protestors.

Schumer asked for unanimous consent to pass the resolution. McConnell objected and blocked its passage.

The Republican Senate Majority Leader refused to protect the right of the American people to protest their own government. - PoliticusUSA

Schumer should keep bringing more American civil liberty resolutions to the floor so the rePuticans can continue showing America where their priorities reside.

If you a minority who has ever cast a vote for a republican, shame on you! STOP supporting these Anti-American rePuticans!

1. I used to think that Moscow Mitch was just

a complete asshole. Now I think maybe Uncle Vlad may have some ugly dirt on him too. Hard to understand his behavior.

2. Schumer should do this once a week, and give the timeline to Amy McGrath

Let her run ads with the resolutions, and then McTurtle blocking every one of them.

At the, run the quote, "at long last have you no decency?" Close with a shot of McTurtle saying, "no!"

3. Putting the gop on record against civil rights

This is now official history. When the gop loses everything in nov 2020, this will be in the histiory books as one of the important facts of the case.

5. Yup, they've turned their backs on the people

They should pay a terrible price at the polls. Hope it's a demoralizing wipe out for them this November.
