Thursday warning Democrats against killing the Senate filibuster that requires a 60-vote threshold, has been criticized for being"an arsonist, bemoaning the fire he started."
The response was swift. Progressive groups were quick to point out what they saw as a hypocrisy between McConnell's words and actions as a long-time Senate bigwig. McConnell is"an arsonist, bemoaning the fire he started," she said."Support for the filibuster is the wrong lesson to learn from McConnell's reign as leader of the Senate Republicans."
Speaking at the Iowa State Fair last week, South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg told a crowd that"when we do [take the Senate majority], it will be time to put an end to the filibuster that has gotten in the way of so much good policy in this country."
