Scott Applewhite)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h5>OAN Newsroom<br \/>UPDATED 10:28 AM PT \u2013 Tuesday, November 30, 2021<\/h5>\n<p>Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) effectively set up a blockade on what Republicans decried as a lackluster defense bill proposed by Democrats.<\/p>\n<p>On Monday, the Senate voted 51-to-45 in favor of Republicans to reject a motion to close debate and vote on the 2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/armedservices.house.gov\/ndaa\">Defense Authorization Act<\/a>. This missed the 60 vote threshold to move on to a vote, which is something McConnell threatened would happen if Democrats failed to hear concerns made by Republicans.<\/p>\n<p>McConnell warned that despite being downplayed by the Biden administration, the threats to U.S. national security have gotten immensely worse, especially in the Middle East.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn 10-months in office, despite na\u00efve happy talk from the administration, the threats we face are remarkably worse,\u201d stated the Senate Minority Leader. \u201cThe vacuum they left in Afghanistan has emboldened terrorists from Iran\u2019s militias in Iraq, Syria and Yemen to the highest ranks of the Taliban\u2019s government.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>McConnell also called out Democrats for neglecting the mounting threats to America and international security from Russia. This ranges from cyber security threats to hypersonic missile development and undermining American energy with the creation of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline.<\/p>\n<p>McConnell laments Democrats are turning a blind eye to Russia after wailing about their alleged heavy meddling in the 2016 election of 45th President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor four years, my colleagues, the Democratic leaders, seem constantly focused on Putin and Russia,\u201d stated the senator. \u201cBut now with Putin flaunting his power and Russia engaged in ongoing cyber attacks, weapons tests and troop build ups \u2014 crickets.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Kentucky Republican added, the current draft of the NDAA fails to take on America\u2019s greatest threat on the international stage \u2014 China.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">.<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LeaderMcConnell?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@LeaderMcConnell<\/a> on NDAA: &#8220;The Democratic leader has botched the floor process.&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/XXhBre2PMZ\">pic.twitter.com\/XXhBre2PMZ<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 CSPAN (@cspan) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/cspan\/status\/1465717855203307526?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 30, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>However, since Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and a handful of other members of the Democrat Caucus voted with Republicans, he can force another vote at a later date. In the meantime, Schumer has vowed to work hard to get the bill passed through Congress and Republicans hope the future law reflects a bipartisan legislature.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/mtg-conservative-americans-are-sick-of-rinos\/\">MTG: Conservative Americans Are Sick Of Rinos<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., flanked by Minority Whip John Thune, R-S.D., left, and Sen.
