Senate Republicans are, unsurprisingly, getting ready to block the Democrats’ renewed push for a bill codifying the right to in-vitro fertilization aimed at capitalizing on convicted felon former President Trump’s recent – and almost certainly empty – embrace of the practice, with creepy white collar criminal Rick Scott telling Punchbowl News that Majority Leader Chuck Schumer “doesn’t want to pass stuff. He just wants to have show votes to try to win elections,” as if the former healthcare executive who embezzled hundreds of millions from Medicare and claimed in a recent ad that he was all for IVF is upset that he’s being forced on the record to vote against it.

“Republicans cannot claim to be pro-family on the one hand while then voting against IVF protection bills on the other. Americans are much smarter than that,” said Schumer, adding that his bill specifically mandates that insurers cover IVF, just as Trump had claimed he’s in favor of.

Senator Bro from MO Josh Hawley whined that the Dems’ bill doesn’t “have any way to get amendments. You’re just stuck there.” Meaning he can’t attach a rider to defund the Justice Department or ban mail-in voting on a bill for IVF. “Everybody knows the outcome of this,” Senate Minority Whip John Thune said. “It would be in everybody’s best interest if we actually were doing the things that people expect us to be doing,” Thune continued, declining to explain why people shouldn’t expect Republicans to act on one of their presidential nominee’s stated policy priorities.
