Sanders Slams McConnell: I’ll Tell You What’s Beneath One’s Office, It’s Being an Apologist for GOP Governors Trying to Suppress Votes

‘Working on legislation, which will take away the rights of independent election officials’

EXCERPT:

SANDERS: "I will tell you — I tell you what is beneath one’s office. And that is to have senators like McConnell, apologists for Republican governors and legislatures all over this country, who are, with surgical precision, trying to suppress the vote, coming up with extreme gerrymandering, working on legislation which will take away the rights of independent election officials and given to partisan Republican majorities. There is a massive effort right now, worst in modern-American history, to undermine the very foundations of American democracy, and that’s all built on the big lie that Trump really won the election in 2020, absolutely fictitious. But that’s what Republicans are peddling right now. And it is absolutely imperative that every member of the Democratic caucus — all 50 of us, plus the Vice President — vote to pass the Freedom to Vote Act to overturn this outrageous anti-democratic action that’s taking place in numerous states all over this country."
