HBO’s John Oliver attacks moderate Democrats for supporting Senate filibuster

Liberal HBO comedian John Oliver attacked moderate Democrats in the Senate on Sunday for not wanting to end the filibuster.

"The best shot those bills have at getting enacted is if Democrats end the filibuster," Oliver said. "And to do that, every Senate Democrat would need to be on board. The problem there is, one of those Democrats is [Sen.] Joe Manchin." Oliver said Manchin, D-W. Va., is among several Senate Democrats, including Kyrsten Sinema, D-Ariz., and Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., who have expressed support for the rule.
