Democrats claim that anyone who disagrees with their agenda, especially Republicans, is a so-called “threat to democracy.”
But they are the ones who keep attacking and destroying democratic norms.
And Mitch McConnell warned the Democrats that they just made a horrible mistake by defending this Biden regime official.
In 2013, then-Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) changed the rules and used the “nuclear option” to get rid of the Senate filibuster, allowing Democrats to force all of former President Barack Obama’s most radical appointees without a 60-vote threshold.
At the time, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (RINO-KY) warned Democrats that they would “regret this, and you may regret this a lot sooner than you think.”
They did.
Dems nuked
When McConnell became the Senate Majority Leader – before ultimately losing it again by constantly bending the knee to Democrats – he nuked the filibuster to get former President Donald Trump’s Supreme Court appointees through.
And McConnell just warned Democrats again.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) shut down the impeachment trial of Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, who had already been impeached in the House before it even began.
Oops, they did it again
McConnell said that Democrats set “a very unfortunate precedent here.”
“It doesn’t make any difference whether our friends on the other side thought he should have been impeached or not,” McConnell added. “He was. . . And by doing what we just did, we have in effect ignored the directions of the House, which were to have a trial. No evidence, no procedure — this is a day that’s not a proud day in the history of the Senate.”
If Trump gets back in the White House and Republicans control the Senate, Democrats just gave the GOP cover to ignore any impeachment proceedings.
McConnell even issued a warning before Schumer’s decision.
“As befits such a solemn and rare responsibility as convening a court of impeachment, I intend to give these charges my full and undivided attention,” he said. “It would be beneath the Senate’s dignity to shrug off our clear responsibility and fail to give the charges we’ll hear today the thorough consideration they deserve. I will strenuously oppose any effort to table the articles of impeachment and avoid looking the Biden administration’s border crisis squarely in the face.”
Democrats have weaponized the political process in ways that could very well come back to bite them in the same way the Senate nuclear option did.
