McConnell blocks resolution condemning Trump over treatment of protesters
The Hill ^ | June 02 2020 | JORDAIN CARNEY

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Tuesday blocked a resolution from Democrats that would have condemned President Trump after rubber bullets and gas were used on peaceful protesters near the White House.

Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) tried to pass the resolution, which was introduced earlier Tuesday, by unanimous consent, meaning any one senator could block it.

"If a senator objects, they should be asked if they believe Americans do not have the constitutional right to exercise the freedom of speech. ... Do they support the president's use of tear gas against people, including families, who are peacefully protesting in a public park?" Schumer said.

They ain’t protesters. When are these assholes going to understand there is difference between a protest and a riot. The Tea Party gathering years ago were protests against big government, etc.

The crap going on today is the Violent destruction of a country by mobs rioting.

The scary part is the lie is what’s remembered. Not proving it false later. please God let 50% of this country be smart enough to see what’s going on.

and I am already submitting seriously that when someone wins the presidency of the United States with the aid of state-run media, which we essentially have, he is not our elected official and we should not accept it.

The mainstream media is an arm of the deep State and the Democrats and no election we’re a demo wins A major office should be accepted any more until it’s dismantled.

I know that sounds crazy and impossible to achieve but we don’t have a republic anymore. Not when the state owns the media

The “peaceful protesters” should go to a Space X launch and go to mars.

I knew McConnell would block it.

What if the Senate had been in Dem hands? The House and Senate Dems would be trying to impeach and remove Pence by now.

These evil democrats are willfully doing satan’s bidding. We certainly have darkness creeping throughout the land. Our ONLY Hope is Jesus. The Light of the World is JESUS. How sad for those who don’t realize it.

Schumer believes there was no looting...He thinks a strong wind blew out all those windows and the “ever conscientious” peacefull protesters went in and took the belongings out for safekeeping just for the owners sake...They plan on returning the merchandise, you know.....

How many Senators are in Washington right now?

6?

Schumer likely introduced the bill to an empty chamber and awarded himself unanimous consent.

McConnell blocked it.
