White House gets GOP senator to block resolution on Armenian genocide for the third time
The White House on Thursday asked Senator Kevin Cramer to block a vote on a bill that would recognize the Armenian genocide, according to Axios.
Cramer’s move to block the vote is especially notable because he was the cosponsor of a 2017 motion to recognize the Armenian genocide while he was a member of the House of Representatives. He said on Thursday that he does not plan to continue objecting to the current bill. “The only reason I did it is because he [Erdoğan] was still in town,” Graham said at the time. “That would’ve been poor timing. I’m trying to salvage the [U.S.-Turkey] relationship if possible.”
