Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell slammed House Democrats for pushing through President Joe Biden's Build Back Better act—predicting this week that the $1.7 trillion legislation "will never become law."

On Friday, the House passed the massive "human infrastructure" social spending package, and the bill will now go to the Senate where its expected to face substantial changes. If the bill is eventually approved by all 50 members of the legislative chamber's Democratic Caucus, it would go back to the House for final approval.

Ahead of the initial House passage of the act, McConnell told Fox News Radio's The Guy Benson Show on Thursdaythat he doesn't believe it will succeed in the Senate.

"[House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is] literally walking them [Democrats] off a cliff to support a bill that will never become law," McConnell said. The Kentucky Republican pointed to the opposition from centrist Democratic Senators Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona and Joe Manchin of West Virginia to key provisions included in the House version of the Build Back Better act.

On the other hand if it was $1.7 trillion in tax cuts for billionaires Moscow Mitch would be asking why we're being so stingy.

1. Mitch is listening to TFG today

[lamp_shade]

19. Or perhaps Manchin and/or Sinema.

[geardaddy]

2. I think McConnell needs and English lesson

Pelosi is not "literally" walking anyone off a cliff.

[VWolf]

17. Good point, and Mitch can go FOAD, for all I care ...

figuratively, of course

[geardaddy]

18. LOL

I concur!

[Stuart G]

23. For those who don't know (and I didn't) ...FOAD...means........(not nice)

"F**k Off and Die....from Urban Dictionary....(you learn something new ...at DU)

3. If it does, it probably won't be in this form.

Until we win back a Senate majority next year.

[temporary311]

4. I wouldn't be surprised if Manchin does his bidding,

and I'd be very surprised if Sinema doesn't.

[Initech]

5. God I hate these fuckers.

[Carlitos Brigante]

6. I'm guessing he's had conversations with at least 2 people about this. nt

[FoxNewsSucks]

8. I think you're right.

[Probatim]

13. I'll give you three guesses on which two...

Someone said this morning McCarthy was angrier about helping Americans than he was over the insurrection. I can't believe how far this country has devolved.

[American Interregnum]

14. Palatial House & Movie Theater

May they both burn into the ground.

[DLevine]

16. My thoughts exactly. nt

[JohnSJ]

7. Newsweek has become a right wing talking point publication. Why not ask DEMOCRATS what they think?

This bill has nothing to do with republicans

[FoxNewsSucks]

10. Corporate media policy is quite simple

When Democrats are in control, they must give airtime to republicon scum to "present the opposition view".

When republicon scum are in control, they must give airtime to republicons because "they are in power and we have to show what they're doing".

Whatever weasely excuse is used, that's how it works.

[JohnSJ]

11. Actually that is exactly what happens. You are right

[Carlitos Brigante]

24. I've heard Thomm Hartman say the very exact thing. It might've been Press The Meat's excuse

back in the Reagan and Later Bush years.

[geardaddy]

20. Newsweek has always been conservative

as far back as I can remember.

[mahina]

9. Hmm, should I believe Joe, Nancy and Pramilla, or

This traitorous spineless anti-Democracy greedhead?

[FoxNewsSucks]

12. I know who I WANT to believe,

but Moscow Mitch refused to relinquish control of the Senate until he was sure he could still call the shots when he wanted to. Mainly via filibuster, but who knows what else he got out of Manchin and/or Sinema.

For sure, Manchin hasn't been flying to Kentucky to go sightseeing. So while' I'll believe Biden, Schumer, Pelosi and the progressives, I also don't underestimate the capacity for Moscow Mitch's dirty tricks.

15. Fuck you

You old crow. Evidently you love the mushroom pressing against your ancient prostate, and bow like a whiny little bitch to the thrown of trump Mitch. A least real chicken shit has a purpose.

[packman]

21. I love they way you paint a picture

22. They provide

All the vivid colors. 🤜🤛. They bring out the worst of us all. I’m gonna stop saying fuck for the rest of the day. Unless…………Boebert, Trailer Queen and Matty the Mattress flipper starts dominating the media praising St Rittenhouse and justice.

[Bengus81]

25. Gosh...I hope it does Turtle. I'd hate for Rittenhouse to be driving over some bridge that collapses

[DFW]

26. Yeah and Obama was a one-term president, too.

Right, Moscow Mitch?

[rickyhall]

27. And the turtle will never become human. Just not gonna happen.

[LudwigPastorius]

28. The day Mitch McConnell becomes Satan's new chew toy,...

I will rejoice.

And, it can't come too soon.

[BlueIdaho]

29. Just exactly what does the Grim Reaper

Know about passing legislation?
