Representative Buddy Carter (R-GA) responded to the President with full support, claiming that the filibuster has been weaponized by Democrats against the American people.
“President Trump is exactly right. The filibuster is killing our country," he commented. "Democrats have turned it into a weapon to block America First policies, shut down our government, and stop progress for the American people. Enough is enough. It’s time to end the obstruction, end the excuses, and end the filibuster.”
The filibuster is KILLING our country. Democrats have turned it into a weapon to block America First policies and shut down our government.
I agree with @realDonaldTrump - END the filibuster NOW!

Carter also criticized Republicans for ‘playing by the old rules’ and allowing Democrats to do whatever they want without repercussions.
“The American people don’t care about career politicians’ outdated swamp traditions. They want results. When President Trump fights, he wins,” Carter explained. “When Republicans fight with him, America wins. The Senate should act now: eliminate the filibuster, let us deliver on the President’s agenda, and put our people first again.”
President Trump also called for an end to the ‘blue slip’ tradition, allowing Senate Democrats to block his nominees. Carter backed this as well.
“Blue slips are just another swamp trick and a courtesy Democrats never return," Carter argued. "President Trump deserves his team in place to clean up this mess, prosecute corruption, and restore law and order. It’s time to end blue slips and let him get the job done.”
Democrats use the “Blue Slip” trick to BLOCK @realDonaldTrump’s America First nominees.
77 MILLION Americans voted for President Trump to put his OWN team in place.
END the BLUE SLIP TRICK!
