Pat Toomey (US Sen. ret.) @SenToomey

In 2005, when Dems were in the minority, @SenSchumer adamantly defended the filibuster. He said nuking it would "turn what the Founding Fathers called the cooling saucer of democracy into the rubber stamp of dictatorship." — PolitiTweet.org

In 2017, when Republicans held unified government, we refused to nuke the filibuster even when Democrats blocked police reform and COVID relief. — PolitiTweet.org

When Dems are in the majority, the filibuster is “racist.” But, when they're are in the minority, it’s a legislative tool. @SenSchumer, you can’t have it both ways. The filibuster protects Democracy. It isn’t racist now & it wasn’t racist when your party used it either. — PolitiTweet.org
