Republican U.S. Senator Mitch McConnell, the Senate Minority Leader, today offered a bill, and a short time later, when Senate Majority Leader, Democrat Harry Reid brought the bill to the floor for a vote, McConnell — possibly in the first time ever in history — objected to the vote, and filibustered his own bill.
Embarrassingly, McConnell couldn’t even get one of his GOP lackeys to do his dirty work.
Senator Dick Durbin, as you can see in this video, said he believes this is the first time ever a Senator has filibustered his own bill — a statement of how vile the GOP has become.
