Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) accused the Democratic Party of trying to kill the Senate in order to push through their voting reform measures.
“We have a 50-50 Senate,” he said on his WABC 770 AM radio show on Sunday. “And yet, Democrats — except for two — were willing to destroy the institution of the Senate to pass [the bills].”
Explaining that there is absolutely no “mandate” by the American public for these bills, Senator Johnson then told his listeners what we already know about the far-left Democrats: that they want this bogus “voting reform” to make the United States, as he said, “a one-party state.”
“Show me a person in the recent past who has wanted to vote but couldn’t,” he said, saying that “nobody is suppressing the vote.”
The two bills Democrats tried to pass, the John Lewis Voting Rights Act and the Freedom to Vote Act, would’ve ended the fair rule of the United States as we know it.
The Freedom to Vote Act would’ve ended the need for voters to show a photo ID to vote, allow felons to vote in all states, and allow same-day voter registration. In turn, the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act sought to undo court rulings that restrained the Voting Rights Act of 1965 by requiring certain states to be approved by the federal government before enacting their own voter laws and re-drawing voter districts.
Abuse and exploitation — that’s what these bills were for. Using the poor excuse that Republicans are trying to make it harder for people to vote in Republican-led districts, they would’ve given the Democratic Party all the tools they need to fudge every local, state, and federal election forever. It’s so easy to see, that even Mitch McConnell said that the bogus call for voter reform has “never been about securing citizens’ rights”. It’s about power. Nothing more, nothing less.
What do losers do when they lose? They try to change the rules of the game. Following the Democrats’ embarrassing defeat, they then tried to change the filibuster rule to get around the Senate’s 60-vote requirement. This would’ve allowed them to pass both America-killing bills by a simple legislation. That also failed, thanks to the common sense of Sens. Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema.
Biden, of course, had a few words to say:
I am profoundly disappointed that the Senate has failed to stand up for our democracy. I am disappointed — but I am not deterred.
We will continue to advance necessary legislation and push for Senate procedural changes that will protect the fundamental right to vote.

Kamala Harris, as always, had her say as well:
History will remember this moment—and so will the American people. The United States Senate must do everything in its power to protect the right to vote. pic.twitter.com/3i5OcGRW4e

For now, freedom-loving Americans can breathe a sign of relief. A serious attempt to undermine our country was stopped dead in its tracks. The far-left Democrats will keep trying, though, as evil never truly rests. At WeLoveTrump, we will continue to keep you informed of their wicked plans, and we hope to never tell you that the Democrats have succeeded.
