President Donald Trump renewed his calls for Republicans to get rid of the Senatorial filibuster on Monday in a meandering social media post where he attacked a former U.S. attorney general.
Trump posted on Truth Social about an interview former Attorney General Eric Holder gave to the Meidas+ Network, where he described the Supreme Court as a “broken institution.” Trump described Holder as an “Obama sycophant” and someone “who did so much to hurt our Country, and who weaponized the Obama Administration against the Republican Party (and ME!)”
Trump added that Holder wants over 20 “radical Left” judges on the Supreme Court.
“The word is, he wants 21 Radical Left Activist Judges, not being satisfied with the heretofore 15 that they were seeking,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “It will be 21, they will destroy our Constitution, and there’s not a thing that the Republicans can do about it unless we TERMINATE THE FILIBUSTER, which will lead to an easy WIN of the Midterms, and an even easier WIN in the Presidential Election of 2028.”
“Why would the Republicans even think about giving them this opportunity?” he continued. “The American People don’t want gridlock, they want their Leaders to GET THINGS DONE — TERMINATE THE FILIBUSTER, AND HAVE THE MOST SUCCESSFUL FOUR YEARS IN THE HISTORY OF OUR COUNTRY, BY FAR, WITH NOT EVEN THE HINT OF A SHUTDOWN OF OUR GREAT NATION ON JANUARY 30TH!”
The post Trump warns of major consequences if GOP fails to ‘terminate the filibuster’ appeared first on Raw Story.
