John Hickenlooper offers counter 'reading' to Ron Johnson's delay tactic

Senator John Hickenlooper @SenatorHick 1h
Right now my Republican colleague is delaying a vote on the COVID relief bill by requiring the poor Senate clerks to read all 600+ pages out loud. That'll take about 10 hours.

So instead, tune in as I read letters from folks who are pleading for help.

Ron celebrated our Independence Day with his masters in Russia.

…the Congressional Delegation that visited Russia over the Independence Day holiday.

b) he doesn't read that well. It's not like he's qualified to be a Senate clerk!

in the chamber until all 628 pages are read. Why should he be 'otherwise engaged'?

Had to get a cardboard cutout of Cary Gardner if you wanted to see him.

Nice to have a representative from Colorado show some intellect and compassion instead of that twit Boebert with her guns and odd jawline.
