'The actual problem is not what is being offered, it is who is offering it.' GOP Sen. Tim Scott made an impassioned speech on the Senate floor after Democrats blocked debate on his police reform bill.
Senate Republicans unveiled a 106-page bill proposing new accountability, training and de-escalation measures for law enforcement members.Senate Democrats voted almost unanimously on Wednesday against a Republican policing reform proposal, effectively ending congressional efforts to rein in law enforcement as thousands of protesters continue to flood streets across the country demanding racial justice in the wake of George Floyd's death.
"We're ready to make a law not just make a point," McConnell had said of Senate Republicans. On Wednesday, he called the decision of Democrats to block the bill"political nonsense elevated to an art form." Manchin told reporters that he bucked his party because"We need to be on this bill and debate it and talk about."
In an interview with CBS Radio on Tuesday, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi accused Senate Republicans of "trying to get away with murder, actually -- the murder of George Floyd." Senate Democrats' decision to stop the Republican bill from advancing was supported by a variety of civil rights groups, including the NAACP Legal Defense Fund and the ACLU, as well as the powerful Congressional Black Caucus whose members rarely weigh in on matters before the Senate.
