No. 3 Senate Republican John Barrasso vows to make Biden a 'one-half-term president'
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
"Mitch McConnell's come under a lot of criticism for saying, at one point, he wanted to make sure that Barack Obama was a one-term president," Barrasso said last Thursday at an event hosted by the Ripon Society, a centrist Republican think tank, which posted the remarks Tuesday .
"I want to make Joe Biden a one-half-term president. And I want to do that by making sure they no longer have House, Senate, White House," he said.
McConnell, R-Ky., the Senate minority leader, has vowed to block Biden's agenda and sharply criticized the administration's policies. McConnell said last month that he is "100 percent" focused on "stopping" Biden's administration.
"We're confronted with severe challenges from a new administration and a narrow majority of Democrats in the House and a 50-50 Senate to turn America into a socialist country, and that's 100 percent of my focus," he said.
Obama was re-elected for a second term, but Republicans won control of the House after the 2010 midterms and gained the Senate for the final two years of Obama's presidency, which denied him confirmation of a Supreme Court nominee. Republicans lost control of the House during the Trump administration, and Democrats narrowly regained the Senate last year.
Barrasso said Democrats are the "party of socialism" in his remarks and excoriated the Democratic agenda as government welfare.
"I'm looking forward to a very successful 2022," he said. "Republicans want to continue to work on growing the economy, and the Democrats want to grow the government."
He said Biden is going "along for the ride" as the party veers left on policies regarding policing, jobs and climate change. Barrasso also suggested that Biden is a rubber stamp for the Senate majority leader and the House speaker.
"Joe Biden will never veto a bill," he said. "He will go down in history as a president who has never vetoed a bill, because he will sign whatever Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi put on his desk."

The only way the gqp are concerned about growing the economy is lining their own pockets.
I'm so sick of these do nothing fucking repukes.
less than even odds on any of those turkey-necked fascist relics lucky enough to live that long. the majority of rwnj senators look like they're in the queue for the boneyard now.
I'm tired of those old fucking dinosaurs too.
Wasn't Biden supposed to be ensconced in the Asylum of Charenton by now and the nation run by the 'Heels Up Proto-Bolshevik Gang'?
Uh huh, good luck with that. How exactly does dumbass here think he is going to accomplish this feat?
Maybe he’s got his own Lincoln Project in mind.
And, Barrasso is just another republican asshole...
his brain was freeze dried and then blew away in that frozen hell hole for brain dead rwnj's.
