Senate Budget Committee Chairman Bernie Sanders (I-VT) tells Andrea Mitchell that he’s “tired of talking about Mr. Manchin and Miss Sinema” when it comes to abolishing the filibuster to pass bills, including voting rights with a simple majority. When asked, he tells Andrea that there's no bipartisan compromise to be had on voting rights that would overcome the filibuster, because he doesn't believe that there are Republicans in the Senate "prepared to vote to support democracy and voting rights I would love to seen them, there aren't any. That's the sad reality.”

#BernieSanders #Senate #Politics
I love Bernie honesty. This country needs to go in the right direction
@William H Music 2020 Don the Con. 30000 lies. He is a gross waste of human flesh.
@Fen Wan bot troll
@Vida Hernandez The US is at the moment. It has to change or you will fail.😢
I ❤️ CHINA
Correct direction, never Reich direction. 🤭
Fired up ready to go. Progressive 2022 senators 🇺🇲
I’m here for that😌
I vote for high speed rail. Who would not love to be able to travel cheaply to places like NY, CA, FL within hours across the country.
@Hussain That’s America for you, we are getting passed by and no one seems to care.
@Justice Matters Quite horrendous really, imagine how much petrol and money people could save. It would clear roads too.
Republicans will not allow high-speed rail spending. Why? It would expect their billionaire donors to pay a little extra in taxes, which they absolutely CAN afford.
@Justice Matters And most all Americans think they are no.1 in everything when it’s really more like 47th.
I’m from California. I can’t wait for high speed rail in 2029.
He’s right, they’re a distraction, things need to be done
A distraction how?
@Peter Stafford Not sure exactly what Marie was trying to express,but both of said individuals sure do seem rather giggly and sheepish about having their party by the proverbial testicles.Kinda humorous for the pubs to have such wonderful friends.Tee hee
MSN and Fox are all about distractions. No substance.
@John Winstead Me is next
Go Bernie. Thank you for speaking out courageously as you always do. Truth and justice must prevail or our democracy is doomed.
In the midst of such a firestorm, it is good to see that someone like Bernie is finally speaking up and clarifying things for voters, especially those people who are very impatient.
‘Finally, speaking up’? He has been speaking up for year’s, but the people in this country are not listening.
Saving this country has passed, the fall is already happening and the republicans greed and anti democratic policies don’t help.
@S C absolutely and I wish we had more like him
Especially those who have day on their buttocks, 4+ years under tRumpf, 5 months since the insurrection. Wtf are the Dem constituents??
@S C Sanders has NEVER SPOKEN THE TRUTH. He is a lying populist demagogue, who only fools those who know nothing about Communism.
@Gary Wait Well said. It was unfortunate that Bernie was squeezed out of the Primary in the 2016 Election. We lost a window of opportunity to elect a real progressive … instead of a corporate Democrat…which is what we always get to represent us in the end.
there’s a lot more than six hundred thousand homeless, in the millions more likely.
I believe that the homeless population hasnt been accounted for.
And a lot more after Joey Fingers and his gang of maniacs get done destroying the economy, sadly.
Maybe Bernie could let some homeless people live in one of his four houses?
@Pepé Gonzalez wrong, try again.
40% are Veterans, another 20-20% are military family members.
Support the Troops? 🤣
Talk, talk, talk!!
Bernie speaks for us all… all these games these two clowns are playing are hurting so many people.
@Jen Vicinity not only will some not get it. But they will not go to a dentist either because they still have that one good toof.
@rookyred Without loving GOP billionaires, … just point me to a better or faster or cheaper way of finding and buying things we need or want.
@SPH smith if you knew history you would know the Nazis were socialist like you
@JG2733 Glenn McCarthy was right if you look in the mirror you will see one of the commies he was talking about 😂😂
Sanders *never* speaks for me. He is exactly like Trump, a lying populist demagogue, who says whatever will give him power, while enriching himself.
The same wealthiest Americans are the owner of the wealthiest corporations, they just don’t pay fair taxes .
And?
@Jack Gamboa
Tax them
Like those outstanding Democrats Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Tim Cook, Jeff Bezos, and Jack Dorsey. They’ve done so much to set mankind free and improve all our lives!
Like Bernie Sanders?
Trickle down economics
Bernie is right on. Always has been.
Always will be………
Brain dead Marxist speaking
The man who should have been our president right now
The Trump’s Rethuglicans would still be blocking everything in Office.
Schumer and the Democrat s didn’t want that to happen
@jim Moore Sanders loves murderous dictators, like Stalin and Castro. If he’d become president, we’d have become another failed Marxist state, where only party members thrive.
Amen!
@Nick Gurh
Fah-q
Bernie speaks for those of us that struggle with food, rent, utilities, just everyday life. It’s hard to have one healthy meal a day, let alone a nice piece of fruit or something. The republicants are never going to work with anyone but Trump. Love you Bernie.
Bernie Sanders = Magical Thinking
@Fen Wan That’s your meaningless buzz-phrase, isn’t it? Do you have anything with substance to say? No, didn’t think so…
Bernie only looks out for bernie Marxist revolutionary
Bless you 🙏 We all deserve better!
Why can’t an executive order be done for “voting rights bill”?
Separation of powers.
It’s the responsibility of Congress, mandated by the Constitution: The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations, except as to the Places of choosing Senators. Article I, Section 4
How is that real change if the next President can sign a piece of paper changing it back? It needs to be a law.
@OnlyOneEarth Our Congress is broken, has been for last 4 decades.
@John Yost In the last 4 decades, what the Americans want never becomes a law. It is futile to think that will ever happen.
Bernie sounds like he’s had enough. His anger and frustration is showing. Love Bernie!!
@H H sane? haha, this is sarcasm right?
@greg williams Amen. Right on.
He is also a sell out. He’s just acting
@Mateo & Grandpa Meanwhile, back in the real world…
@King Brutus I think it was his heart issue
Let’s remember that Mitt Romney is among those Senate Republicans unwilling to vote for any of these changes. Just because he disliked Trump doesn’t make him a decent human being!
You’re so right! Same goes for Liz Cheney, she may have voted to impeach Tr** in the House, but she’s still a diehard rightwinger. As for Murkowski, Collins, Sasse and the others, when it comes down to it, they’re no better than Cruz and Hawley.
Yatzze🤨
Agreed, next time I hear that, “Susan Collins is concerned, or Romney is concerned” is just bull! They’re all Republicon snakes!
I could listen to Bernie Sanders every day. He needs to be in the news more than those lying GQP.
@Rod Are you a fan of Stalin like Putin and Trump?
@JG2733 Glenn
“The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the convinced Communist, but people for whom the distinction between true and false no longer exists.”
—Hannah Arendt
@Pepé Gonzalez You’re referring to Fascism and Nazism whose playbook (Mein Kampf) Trump and Putin follow.
He KNOWS that the people who voted him into that position and he IS working FOR them NOT AGAINST them! LONG LIVE BERNIE!!!
I can’t stand that lying old demagogue. Anyone who betrays his own people, to gain more power, should not be trusted.
At least he’s willing to straight up say there is no chance of bipartisanship. Most of the other cowards won’t do even that.
In a perverse way, Moscow Mitch has said the same thing. That there will be no bipartisanship. Because GOP will vote for nothing at all.
I firmly believe that an overwhelmingly amount of GOP members are scared of Trump.
I believe
quite a few of GOP members have dirt on their hands.
I also believe Trump has them on a hook.
Those very ones may have very well been involved on the insurrection.
Now, an overwhelmingly amount of Americans are being held hostage for what they have done.
Also for what Trump has done.
Email these GOP senators and confront them with the truth and facts.
The truth hurts.
Bernie has always been on the side of the average American . ALWAYS
Bernie has always been the pathetic remnant of an inhuman, dysfunctional system that collapsed decades ago to the general acclaim of the entire human race.
@Eric Schultz The Western half of the EU isn’t “every other country.”
You’re so right. Recently watched a PBS doc where he was saying the same thing he says today.
@Eric Schultz Sanders’ thinking is what led to failed states like the USSR or Communist Cuba.
He fights for all of us!
Bernie has been the one and only TRUE man of the people in Washington DC.
Bernie never stops working for us, for everyone. He speaks so clearly thru the crap.
He only ever works for himself. Look at his voting record. Been in Congress forever, and accomplished nothing!
He should have been president all I’m saying , and he needs to be protected
Lol, I’m glad he is NOT the president. I’m happy w/the current administration. 😎
@stefon french You’re happy with hyperinflation, exploding crime, soaring energy costs, record drug ODs, a historic border crisis, shortages and broken supply chains, and being punted around by China and Russia? Wow. Good luck!
Well, your names is “Stefon”…
Absolutely ❤
