House Conservatives Chastise Mitch McConnell for Delaying 300 Bills

Rep. Ken Buck (R-CO) and House conservatives chastised Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on Thursday for holding up over 300 House-passed bills and urged the Senate to drop the legislative filibuster to enable the Republican-controlled Congress to pass President Donald Trump’s agenda.

Rep. Ken Buck, a member of the House Freedom Caucus, and other conservatives led a “special order” to take to the House floor to deliver speeches in sequence on a particular topic to draw attention to the importance of passing the Republican agenda.

Rep. Ken Buck told Breitbart News on Thursday, “The House has passed over 308 bills that now sit languishing in the Senate. We’ve passed legislation to protect Americans from violent illegal immigrant felons, to repeal Dodd-Frank, and to end late-term abortions. The American people expect the Senate to act, and tonight we’re going to take to the House floor to remind the upper chamber about all of the important bills we’ve sent their way.”

McConnell was chosen to be Senate Majority Whip to encourage and define the agenda of the President and apply enough pressure to get the votes to pass. McConnell thinks because he is the survivor of a crippling disease he deserves special treatment and considerations while he decides what should and shouldn't be brought to committee for debate. AGAIN this is the fruits of OLD MEN who THINK they are appointed for life as the Supreme Court. As long as the electorate sends him there he's going to take the MONEY and PERKS and FAVORS from lobbyists and any other source applying force to get their way.
Somehow this picture seems antiquated in todays World. Its NO SECRET McConnell isn't on board with Trump and will NEVER be. If these bills had been before any other Republican Whip they'd at least been considered. If there is force to be applied, apply it against McConnell and get some NEW blood that's NOT set in their ways to move this Country forward. While we're at it, send McCain with him.

He needs to be either replaced or given a last chance to do the job he was supposed to be doing already.

The House represents the people.
The Senate represents rich corporations and wealthy, greedy, selfish bast*** that will suck the life out of everything around them if it means just one more dollar for them.
Leaders.
You keep cheering......?????

Mitch McConnell made 24 million in six years on a $193,000 salary. He must have bought some of those cattle futures that Hillary bought in Arkansas, you know, the ones with a 1000% rate of return. Quite a few Senators is a millionaire before their first term in office ends. They are ALL corrupt. I am sure they all have a reasonable explanation!!!
