Democrats like Chuck Schumer and Barack Obama previously spoke in favor of the filibuster; they even warned about the disaster that would ensue, should the filibuster ever fall.
During the years of the Trump administration, Democrats made no bones about the use of the filibuster to impede GOP agendas. In light of these details, the 180-degree turn from the left that asserts the filibuster must fall has no credible foundation.
Backlash from Georgia Republicans
Republicans in the state of Georgia were not happy about Biden traveling to their state. They reacted negatively to him spreading various falsehoods about the Senate procedure which gives the minority party a say.
Chris Carr, the GOP attorney general of Georgia, described Biden’s rhetoric as “political theater” that’s reprehensible.
Carr also noted the president is trying to distract Americans from the proliferation in crime and issues with Afghanistan; likewise, the border crisis and empty store shelves across the country are matters Biden would love to distract from.
