It’s true that McConnell objected to the resolution from McCaskill
“I ask unanimous consent that the senate proceed with immediate consideration … that the amendment at the desk providing for continued appropriations for pay and death benefits for members of the armed services be considered and agreed to”, McCaskill proposed.
When asked if there was a debate over the resolution McConnell spoke up.
“I OBJECT”
With ‘I object,’ McConnell owns shutdown’s worst harms
“We passed similar legislation during the government shutdown back in 2013. My hope is that we can restore funding for the entire government before this becomes necessary. I’m going to object for tonight, but we’ll discuss again tomorrow.”
