Moscow Mitch, "STFU Lindsey!"

McConnell throws shade on Graham’s proposed national abortion ban

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Tuesday made clear that Senate Republicans are not eager to debate Sen. Lindsey Graham’s (R-S.C.) proposal to ban abortions nationwide after 15 weeks of pregnancy, telling reporters that most GOP senators want to leave the issue to states.

McConnell also said Graham’s proposal is the South Carolina senator’s own initiative and not something being pushed at the leadership level.

“With regard to his bill, you’ll have to ask him about it. In terms of scheduling, I think most of the members of my conference prefer that this be dealt with at the state level,” he told reporters.

McConnell and his leadership team wants to focus instead on President Biden’s handling of the economy and inflation, which the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Tuesday increased 8.3 percent over the past year.

1. Even Mitch isn't that fucking stupid.

And I never thought I would say that.

3. Leaving issues like abortion to states

is against why the constitution was written. Interstate commerce cannot take place is a women can be arrested when crossing state lines for doing something legal in one state (like getting health care) that is declared illegal in another state.

Leaky Lindsey leaks the plan
A little too soon for Moscow man,
Doesn't matter whose Rights they repeal,
They only hold power that they can steal.

18. Let's merge these two...

Rhymes and leave room for add ons!

Your rhyme is perfect for a first verse, mine can be a second with a specific example leaving room for many more. Then we can make it an anthem or something!

12. Let's have a full debate on the Senate floor

I really want to hear Susan Collins and Marsha Blackburn and Kyrsten Sinema hold forth on Sen. Graham's bill. Let's get it all out in the open. Isn't "transparency" one of those au courant political words? Talk it out, Senators. Let's get everyone on the record.

13. Lindsey Graham just made the midterms 💯 about abortion, which means Roevember is coming.
