McConnell rips Democrats for passing 'piecemeal Postal Bill', 'ignoring urgent needs' of Americans

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) accused House Democrats of "ignoring urgent needs" of Americans in passing legislation that includes $25 billion to boost the U.S. Postal Service (USPS), calling it a "piecemeal Postal Bill."

The bill was passed in a rare Saturday vote largely along party lines, 257-150, with 26 Republicans bucking party lines to support it. The bill came after Postmaster General Louis DeJoy announced earlier this week that he would suspend cost-cutting measures until after the November elections.

Democrats have worried that DeJoy, a Trump donor, was working to hurt mail-in voting, claims that McConnell called "conspiracy theories."

"Speaker [Nancy] Pelosi and House Democrats have spent weeks ignoring the urgent needs of American workers and families, but they rushed back to Washington the instant that overblown conspiracy theories about the United States Postal Service convinced them their own jobs might be at jeopardy," McConnell said in a statement.

Seriously? If Mitch was so concerned, he should have passed some of the bills sitting on his desk that focus on relief for these American families instead of going on recess until September.
