ABC's Terry Moran panned for suggesting GOP would end filibuster 'in a heartbeat' after refraining under Trump
Fox News
ABC News' chief national correspondent Terry Moran was panned on social media for suggesting that Republicans wouldn't skip a beat in eliminating the filibuster if they retain power in the Senate.
Indeed, McConnell said as early as Feb. 22, 2016, that "the Senate has not filled a vacancy arising in an election year when there was divided government since 1888, almost 130 years ago." For that reason, McConnell says, Republicans were being consistent when they confirmed Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett after stonewalling now-Attorney General Merrick Garland's Supreme Court nomination in 2016. Moran took to Twitter and reacted to McConnell's remarks, insisting Republicans would instantly go for a power grab if he became Majority Leader again.More Related News
