Irrelevant Kamala Declares She Would Not 'Absolve' Any Lawmakers Standing in the Way of Passing So-Called 'Voting Rights Legislation'

Vice President Kamala Harris cemented her criticism of Sens. Kyrsten Sinema and Joe Manchin when she declared she would not “absolve” any lawmakers standing in the way of passing so-called voting rights legislation.

At a Martin Luther King day volunteer event in Washington on Monday, the vice president was asked directly about Manchin (D-W.Va.) and Sinema (D-Ariz.) and their refusal to budge on the filibuster, dooming the chances of Democrats ramming through what they claim is legislation on voting rights.

“The United States Senate has the opportunity and, I daresay, the responsibility to pass these bills through Congress so the president can sign them. And the resistance to doing that will not deter us from our commitment to getting it done,” Harris told reporters.
