Scott Applewhite)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h5>OAN Newsroom<br \/>UPDATED 9:34 AM PT \u2013 Tuesday, June 8, 2021<\/h5>\n<p>Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) weighed in on the Democrats\u2019 agenda for June while asserting it\u2019s \u201cdesigned to fail.\u201d During a Senate floor hearing Monday, the Republican argued the left is only focusing its agenda to their own political bias.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs I understand it, Senate Democrats intend to focus this month on the demands of their radical base, exploiting the cause of pay fairness to send a windfall to trial lawyers, saddling hospitals, schools and small businesses with crippling new legal burdens if they fail to keep pace with woke social norms,\u201d he stated. \u201cAnd opening an unprecedented new front in the left\u2019s war on the Second Amendment. \u201d<\/p>\n<p>McConnell pointed out that added none of the pieces of legislation brought up by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-.N.Y.) so far this term, including&nbsp;the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.congress.gov\/bill\/117th-congress\/house-bill\/1\">For the People Act<\/a> and the infrastructure package that\u2019s still being negotiated, have been aimed at earning bipartisan support.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBizarrely, it appears they are being floated in order to illustrate that the bar is too high,\u201d he explained. \u201cAfter a spring in which the Senate has repeatedly passed mainstream legislation by wide margins, Democrats have decided that now is the time to argue the legislative process is somehow broken. \u201d<\/p>\n<p>McConnell also criticized of the extended unemployment assistance under the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/american-rescue-plan\/\">American Rescue Plan<\/a>. While Biden has reportedly credited last month\u2019s drop in unemployment to the progress of COVID-19 vaccines, the Senate minority leade rargued the relief benefits would discourage Americans from getting back to work.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDemocrats\u2019 bloated additions to unemployment insurance haven\u2019t just failed to help our recovery, they\u2019ve actually hurt it and the consequences on main street are now in full focus,\u201d McConnell continued. \u201cAs hiring lags, employers are struggling to entice workers to rejoin and keep their facilities staffed.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Americans are already hurting from far-left economics that ignore reality. The Administration\u2019s counterproductive \u2018COVID relief bill\u2019 has slowed rehiring. Families are facing painful inflation. And the Administration wants to triple down on the same mistakes?<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Leader McConnell (@LeaderMcConnell) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LeaderMcConnell\/status\/1398398681284366337?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 28, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The Kentucky lawmaker went on to say he hopes the Democrats learn from what he called an \u201cexpensive error.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe urged Democrats not to force our country\u2019s promising early recovery into a permanent defensive crouch,\u201d he stated. \u201cNow as states and business owners grapple with the consequences, I hope Democrats in Washington are paying attention and learning from this costly mistake. \u201d<\/p>\n<p>With the Senate split 50-50 instead of reaching across the aisle, Democrats have moved to try and eliminate the filibuster while employing the nuclear option to cut out Republicans from the legislative process completely.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/facebook-whistleblower-exposes-companys-hidden-agendas\/\">Facebook Whistleblower Exposes Company\u2019s Hidden Agendas<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., leaves the chamber as the Senate resumes work following a ten-day recess, at the Capitol in Washington, Monday, June 7, 2021.
