He warned June is shaping up to be a check the box month for Democrats as progressives look to pass several sweeping bills.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you look to what the majority leader has in mind for June, it\u2019s pretty clear the era of bipartisanship is over,\u201d stated the Kentucky lawmaker. \u201cWe passed six bills so far this year, significant bills on a bipartisan basis\u2026but I think that\u2019s coming to a screeching halt this month.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>His comments come as Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said the left would not \u201csacrifice boldness for bipartisanship.\u201d McConnell said despite the passage of those six bipartisan bills, Democrats plan to try to push through bills they support coming out of the House. This includes the so-called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.congress.gov\/bill\/117th-congress\/house-bill\/7\">Paycheck Fairness Act<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt looks to me like the majority leader has decided that June is kind of the \u2018check the box month\u2019 with all of the extreme left-wing provisions that they support,\u201d McConnell&nbsp; continued. \u201cHopefully, we\u2019ll sober up after that and get back to doing the work together as we have done for the first almost six months of this year.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The American people rightly expect a 50-50 Senate to find common ground on serious, mainstream action. This year, we\u2019ve done so repeatedly.<\/p>\n<p>But this month, Democrats have decided to instead appease their far-left fringe and put forward a partisan agenda that is designed to fail.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Leader McConnell (@LeaderMcConnell) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LeaderMcConnell\/status\/1402722165393342464?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 9, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>This came after McConnell criticized the left\u2019s agenda by saying they are only focusing on their own political bias.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/sen-tommy-tuberville-communist-china-is-americas-biggest-adversary\/\">Sen.
