Republican Senator Ron Johnson was on “Sunday Morning Futures” with Maria Bartiromo to discuss getting rid of the filibuster to open the government and continue President Trump’s America First agenda. He explained that the Democrats would not hesitate to do the same if they were in charge.
“Do you expect that the Democrats are going to do it anyway, once they return to power?” Bartiromo asked about the filibuster.
“Democrats, we already know they absolutely will nuke the filibuster. They purged the two members who had prevented that last time,” Johnson said.
“If they gain power, they will nuke the filibuster to maintain power,” Johnson warned.
“They are keeping government shut because they don’t want the economy to do well,” Johnson continued.
“They will obstruct every good piece of legislation President Trump and Republicans want to pass, so we’d better act first,” Johnson said.
“We will use the 50-vote threshold for good things. To fully secure the border, to secure our elections,” Johnson said.
“Democrats will nuke the filibuster to maintain their power. It’s all about power with Democrats,” Johnson warned.
“Does John Thune, the leader, not expect the Democrats to nuke it when they return to power?” Bartiromo asked.
“I’ve got to believe every Republican believes they will do that,” Johnson said.
“I wish the Democrats respect the filibuster. It’s a good thing for the institution, but they don’t, so you have to recognize that reality,” Johnson said.
“If we want to do good things for the American public, we’d better end the filibuster on our watch,” Johnson continued.
Senator Johnson explained that if it went to a vote, it would show if Democrats really want to get rid of the filibuster, or only when it is convenient for their causes.
“Let’s see if Democrats are really serious, if they want to get rid of the filibuster with President Trump in office,” Johnson said.
“It would be very interesting. Are Democrats dedicated to nuking the filibuster when the other side is in power, or not?” Johnson explained.
