Sanders slams McConnell's 'do nothing' Senate
Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) slammed Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) for "his obstructionism," saying "there's very little that's going on in the Senate."
"McConnell can vote any way he wants on an issue but what I find really outrageous and extremely undemocratic is his obstructionism and his refusal to allow major legislation to come to the floor for a debate and for a vote," Sanders told Hill.TV's Krystal Ball during an interview that aired on Monday.
"So essentially while enormous problems face this country - everybody knows it, there's very little that's going in the Senate, it is a do nothing body and that is because of McConnell," he continued.
Sanders called on voters in the Bluegrass State to "demand that their United States Senate allow real debate on the floor so that we can begin to do something to represent working families."
Sander's comments came just moments after he took the stage at a campaign rally in Louisville, Kentucky, where made similar criticism of McConnell.
"I say here in Kentucky to Senator McConnell - stop blocking legislation from coming to the floor of the Senate," the 2020 candidate told a crowd of supporters over the weekend, which prompted cheers.
