ICYMI: Leader McConnell on America’s Newsroom
WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) joined Bill Hemmer and Dana Perino this morning on Fox News’ America’s Newsroom. Click here to watch the full interview or see below for highlights:
On Federal Vaccine Mandates:
“Well, I think there is good news. Multiple courts have pushed the pause button on these government vaccine mandates. There is a decent chance the courts will strike them down. Secondly, next week we are going to have a vote on the vaccine mandate prohibiting that regulation from going into effect. I think it has a decent chance of passing the Senate.”
On Democrats’ Reckless Taxing and Spending Spree:
“Let me tell you what would be in the best interest of the country. The best interest of the country would be to tank this reckless tax and spending bill. The biggest issue in the country is inflation. The bill they passed earlier this year, on a party line vote, has dramatically increased the cost of everything at the gas pump, at the grocery store, and for Christmas. The single biggest gift this Democratic Congress could give to the American people this Christmas is to kill this bill. I don't think it's fixable.
“This bill is full of incredibly bad stuff. It expands welfare to illegal aliens. It grants amnesty to 6.5 million illegal immigrants. It provides believe it or not tax relief for millionaires and billionaires largely in places like California and New Jersey and New York. This ought not to pass at all. That would be the single best Christmas gift for the American people.”
On Payments for Illegal Immigrants:
“The border is in chaos and [Democrats] are in denial. It is a huge issue. It needs to be solved for the American people and regretfully this new administration basically put up a ‘come on in’ sign at the beginning of the year and people south of the border figured it out.”
