Speaking on the Senate floor Tuesday, he stated nobody serving in the chamber can even begin to imagine what a scorched earth Senate would look like.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Breaking Senate rules to kill the filibuster would not open up an express lane to liberal change. It would not open up an express lane for the Biden presidency to speed into the history books. The Senate would function more like a hundred-car pile-up. Nothing moving.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Leader McConnell (@LeaderMcConnell) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LeaderMcConnell\/status\/1371853740819558408?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 16, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>McConnell warned Democrats if they scrapped the procedure, Republicans would pass conservative policies with \u201czero input\u201d from the left if they take back the chamber in 2022.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">McConnell says he would enact conservative policies with \u201czero input\u201d from Dems.

Nationwide right to work for working Americans. Defunding Planned Parenthood and sanctuary cities on day one,\u201d McConnell stated. \u201cA whole new era of domestic energy production. Sweeping new protections for conscience and the right to life of the unborn. Concealed carry reciprocity in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>McConnell also noted the Senate is evenly split and despite what left-wing activists want, the American people did not give them a mandate to radically transform the nation.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/lindell-counter-suing-dominion-alleges-racketeering\/\">Lindell Counter-Suing Dominion, Alleges Racketeering<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell left the chamber after criticizing Democrats for wanting to change the filibuster rule, at the Capitol in Washington, Tuesday, March 16, 2021.
