Republicans reject Stacey Abrams-endorsed elections bill proposal from Manchin: 'Totally inappropriate'
|
[FOXNEWS] Senate Republicans Thursday said that they have no intention of supporting Sen. Joe Manchin
 ...Dem senator-for-life from West Virginia. Manchin is one of the approximately one Dem senators who exhibits more integrity than Jello, often even representing his constituents...
's proposal for elections legislation, which was supposed to be a possible bipartisan compromise in lieu of Democrats' controversial elections bill, S.1.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said Thursday that he hopes "all Republicans" will oppose the proposal from Manchin, D-W.Va.,, at a presser that was designed to show Republican unity against S.1.

"It still turns the Federal Election Commission (FEC) from a judge into a prosecutor by taking away the three-three balance and making it 3-2 Democratic," McConnell said.
McConnell was referencing an element of S.1 that would change the FEC from a body with six members, three from each party, to a body with two members from each party and a fifth nonpartisan individual appointed by the president. Republicans say the fact that President Joe Biden
...... 46th president of the U.S. I'm not working for you. Don't be such a horse's ass. ......
would appoint the nonpartisan individual defeats the purpose.
It would also, McConnell said, "remove redistricting from state legislatures and hand it over to computers. Equally unacceptable. Totally inappropriate."
He called that provision "extraordinarily dubious" constitutionally.
"All Republicans, I think, will oppose that as well, if that were to be surfaced on the floor," McConnell said, referencing the fact that it's been endorsed by Stacey Abrams
...the pudgy, sour grapes lo-o-o-o-o-ser (Loser! Loser! Loser!) of the 2018 Georgia governor's race. Stacey nominated herself to be Joe Biden's vice president nominee, to widespread national apathy. She has a very keen eye for Racism in any form, to include the imaginary...
Sen. Roy Blunt
...A Missouri political oligarch. As a member of Congress he was reelected six times without significant opposition. He married Roseann Ray in May 1967 and had three children with her: Matt (the former Governor of Missouri), Amy Blunt Mosby and Andrew Blunt, both lawyers and lobbyists. Blunt and Ray divorced after 35 years of marriage. Afterward, he married Abigail Perlman, a lobbyist for Kraft Foods. In April 2006, he and his wife adopted an 18-month old boy from Russia, whom they renamed Alexander Charles Charlie Blunt. He will be either a politician or a lobbyist or both when he grows up., R-Mo., also slammed the Manchin proposal over the fact it is supported by Abrams.
"I think every one of us looks for opportunities to work with Sen. Manchin and we've found those opportunities," he said. "I actually think when Stacey Abrams immediately endorsed Sen. Manchin's proposal it became the Stacey Abrams substitute, not the Joe Manchin substitute."
