Cornyn says all Rs support retaining the filibuster. False. They got rid of it for Bush tax cuts. They got rid of it for Trump tax cuts. They got rid of it to steal a Supreme Court seat. But to defend the right to vote? They say "No!" Because they want rigged elections. — PolitiTweet.org

.@PattyMurray summed it up: Rs want to confirm judges and cut taxes w/o a filibuster. And want state legislatures to gut voting rights w/o a filibuster. But want to use a filibuster to block defending voting rights for Americans. Hmmm. What’s the best word to describe that? — PolitiTweet.org
