Bernie Sanders Complains That Senate Republicans are ‘Laughing All the Way to Election Day’
Vermont’s Democratic Socialist Senator Bernie Sanders has complained that Republicans are “laughing all the way to Election Day,” without having to vote on the Democratic Party’s $1.2 trillion social spending package.
The spending package is currently stalled in the senate thanks to opposition from Senators Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema.
Sanders complained about the situation during an appearance on CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday.
“What has bothered me very much is the Republicans are laughing all the way to Election Day. They have not had to cast one bloody vote… which shows us where they’re at. And we have got to change that,” Sanders said.
Sanders is now calling for specific policies to be pulled from the package so that a new one can be put together with items that they can get enough support for.
