> The top Senate Republican on Monday suggested “millions of Americans will cease to have a voice in the Senate” if Democrats [change the chamber’s voting rules](https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/jan/03/schumer-senate-democracy-voting-rights-election) to pass voting rights legislation. “Entire states would be shut out,” McConnell griped, adding: “This isn’t about new voting laws. It’s about silencing voters who inconvenience Democrats.”

Oh.  
Right.  
And so how, exactly, will these new voting laws prevent Americans from having a voice in the senate, MM? 🤔

> Democratic National Committee Chair Jaime Harrison told McConnell to “save the damn crocodile tears…Americans lost their voice in the Senate when you denied Pres. Obama his constitutional right to appoint a SCt justice & when you eliminated the 60 vote rule for lifetime appointments to the Supreme Court,” Harrison added, calling McConnell “a hypocrite.”

Some more choice tweet reponses in article.

But… you don’t understand… he’s a _conservative_. And conservatives are _always_ the real victims.
