McConnell Warns He Will ‘Paralyze’ the Senate

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) slammed the reinvigorated Democratic push for social spending and climate change legislation and said moving forward with that bill would paralyze the chamber, Politico reports.

Said McConnell: “Democrats have already picked the American people’s pocket once. And now their solution is to pick your pockets a second time. First with inflation. And now with tax hikes… Now is a terrible, terrible time to paralyze the Senate by trying to tax us into recession on a partisan basis.”
