Jim McGovern: “80% of bipartisan amendments were blocked, 92% of Democratic…”

“What I have a problem with is with all the amendments that were blocked by this Republican majority. 362amendments were offered to this farm bill by Republicans and, and Democrats. And 305 of those amendments were blocked. They were 80% of bipartisan amendments were blocked, 92% of Democratic amendments were blocked and 70% of Republican amendments were blocked. And my Republican friends, you know, I guess, are okay with having the leadership block their own amendments. I mean, it is ridiculous. And this is an important bill.” (04:08–04:18)
