On Tuesday, McConnell spoke on the Senate floor and blasted some Democrats for trying to convince their moderate colleagues to scrap the process.<\/p>\n<p>His comments came as West Virginia\u2019s Sen. Joe Manchin (D) and Arizona\u2019s Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D) have said they oppose getting rid of the filibuster. Democrats would need their votes along with support from at least 10 Republicans to move forward with their push.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Senate Democrats just spent the last four years using the legislative filibuster and talking constantly about how important it was.<\/p>\n<p>Their reversals aren\u2019t about principle. It\u2019s just raw power. And their excuses insult the intelligence of the American people.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Leader McConnell (@LeaderMcConnell) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LeaderMcConnell\/status\/1374397439164043275?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 23, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>McConnell said the far-left wants to gain power by changing the rules to accomplish their agenda.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe same people who tried to overturn a certified election result over in the House want to break Senate rules so they can override the election laws of all 50 states from right here in Washington,\u201d McConnell stated.<\/p>\n<p>President Trump recently weighed in on the matter in an interview warning that if Democrats abolish the filibuster it would be a \u201cfree for all\u201d for the party and be catastrophic for Republicans.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/gunman-ambushes-caravan-transporting-vaccines-in-texas\/\">Gunman Ambushes Caravan Transporting Vaccines In Texas<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.
