Schumer Thanks Senate Staff After Marathon Reading


March 5, 2021 at 9:32 am EST By Taegan Goddard

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer thanked Senate clerks after they were forced to spend more than 10 hours reading the pandemic relief bill.

He called out Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI), who forced the procedure: “And as for our friend from Wisconsin, I hope he enjoyed his Thursday evening.”

Dems voted, in their absence, to limit debate to 3 hours instead of 20 hours.

He wanted it, so show some leadership and do it yourself. The moron would have been educated in the details he was so "concerned" about.
