The Democratic base is in an unhinged uproar this morning after a handful of Senate Democrats cut a face-saving ‘deal’ to reopen the government.
The Senate broke the Chuck Schumer-led filibuster last night after eight Senate Democrats caved and joined Republicans in their bid to pass a revamped plan to end the shutdown.
The Motion to Invoke Cloture on the House-passed continuing resolution was passed on the 15th attempt by a vote of 60-40. Republicans plan to amend the bill and attach three full-year-long appropriations bills.
Seven Democrats and one Independent (Angus King) who caucuses with the party joined Republicans and passed the resolution. Rand Paul was the lone ‘Republican’ to vote no.
Here were the Dem Caucus members who caved:
Angus King of Maine
John Fetterman of Pennsylvania
Catherine Cortez Masto of Nevada
Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire
Maggie Hassan of New Hampshire
Jacky Rosen of Nevada
Tim Kaine of Virginia
Dick Durbin of Illinois
The House will return to session on Wednesday to vote on the Senate-passed funding package.
The childish elitists on Blue Sky SCREAMED betrayal and threw massive tantrums following the vote, using some of the most colorful terms imaginable.
Many also demanded Schumer’s resignation, even though he did not vote for the ‘compromise.’
