Former acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell ripped into CNN after a network correspondent asked Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) about the supposedly “racist roots” of the filibuster.
In recent months, President Joe Biden, who spent decades serving in the U.S. Senate, has said he now agrees with his former running mate and president, Barack Obama, that the filibuster is a “relic of the Jim Crow era,” though Obama made a passionate defense of the procedural rule on the floor of the chamber in 2005.
During his speech, Obama said ditching the filibuster would allow the majority party to “change the rules in the middle of the game so that they can make all the decisions while the other party is told to sit down and keep quiet.” “If the majority chooses to end the filibuster, if they choose to change the rules and put an end to democratic debate, then the fighting and the bitterness and the gridlock will only get worse,” Obama predicted.
But that was then; today, as Democrats hold a bare majority in the upper chamber and a very slim majority in the House — and with the 2022 midterms already looking like a Republican blow-out given Biden’s tanking approval ratings — party leaders recognize their days in control of Congress are likely numbered. So they have increasingly attacked the Senate filibuster, a rule which requires 60 votes to move most legislation, as out-of-date and ‘unfair,’ even though Democrats used the procedure at least 327 times in 2020 alone.
And the left-wing media appears to be doing its part to help the Democratic Party’s cause.
“I asked GOP Leader Mitch #McConnell, who describes characterization of the #filibuster as rooted in racism as ‘nonsense,’ if he was worried about the public perception to opposing a measure many believe will block efforts to make it harder for black people to vote,” CNN national politics reporter Eva McKend noted in a March tweet containing a video of her asking the question. I asked GOP Leader Mitch #McConnell , who describes characterization of the #filibuster as rooted in racism as “nonsense,” if […]

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
