Republican Senate caucus sends Turtle-Gram to Mitch to save them from angry voters

[Miles Archer]

A group of ten Republicans senators were the latest to join the chorus asking GOP leadership to save them from angry voters by cancelling the August recess.

In a Friday letter to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, the group wrote, “we respectfully request that you consider truncating, if not completely foregoing, the scheduled August state work period,” the Washington Post reports.

Nearly a fifth of the Republican Senate caucus signed the letter, including Steve Daines (R-MT), Joni Ernst (R-IA), John Neely Kennedy (R-LA), James Lankford (R-OK) Mike Lee (R-UT), David Perdue, (R-GA), Mike Rounds (R-SD), Luther Strange (R-AL), Dan Sullivan (R-AK) and Thom Tillis (R-NC).

“Republicans are steeling themselves for attacks on their health-care negotiations over the July Fourth recess, with progressive activists planning to pressure any members of Congress they see at public events,” the Washington Post explained.

This is your JOB congress, the one that you fought, spent, and in many cases, lied and cheated to get. Now that the crown is heavy on your head, you are trying to buy time to hire liars and lawyers to help you. You wanted to dominate the government, well, this is what you get.
