Both political parties tend to block legislation that the other side considers important. The conservative side of the house voices concerns over the negative impact that such legislation would have if passed.<\/p>\n

A look at what happened in Virginia is an example. Democrat bills met resistance on the Republican side of the aisle. However, when Democrats won both houses, gun control legislation saw better opportunities to be considered.<\/p>\n

Representative Mikie Sherrill, Democrat from New Jersey, indicated one of the Democrat motivations for blocking conservative legislation.<\/p>\n

From The Washington Free Beacon:<\/span><\/p>\n

“When I go, you know, I’ve gone up to people and said, ‘I need to get this piece of legislation passed,’ and they say ‘Oh yeah, we just passed it,'” Sherrill said. “I said, ‘Yeah, we just passed it. I need the Senate to pass it and I need the president to sign it,’ and they said ‘Well, we don’t want to give the president a win.<\/span><\/strong>‘”<\/p>\n

Sherrill’s comments contrast with Democrats’ longstanding criticism of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R., Ky.) for blocking Democratic initiatives in the Senate. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) unveiled a visual representation of McConnell’s “legislative graveyard” in June, accusing the Kentucky Republican of blocking legislation for political gain.<\/p>\n

“Leader McConnell seems to take great pride in calling himself ‘The Grim Reaper.’ It’s part of his political campaign, it’s part of the pride he takes as leader of the Senate,<\/span><\/strong>” Pelosi said. “The Senate will certainly be hearing from the public on issues, values really, that have bipartisan support across America.<\/span><\/strong>”<\/p>\n

According to National Republican Congressional Committee spokesman Michael McAdams, Sherrill’s admission contradicts Democrats’ push for bipartisanship in the Republican-held Senate<\/span><\/strong>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
