‘List of Excuses’: GOP Leadership Begs Senators to Deflect SAVE America Act Questions

The Senate Republican Conference, chaired by Sens. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., and co-chaired by James Lankford, R-Okla., sent an internal communication to Senate Republicans urging them to deflect any and all media questions about the SAVE America Act, according to a document obtained by the Daily Signal.

Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, described the communication in a statement to the Daily Signal as a “list of excuses” that he and “American voters are tired of reading.”

The conference sent the internal communications after Lee, and conservative senators, such as Sens. Rick Scott, R-Fla., Jim Banks, R-Ind., Ashley Moody, R-Fla., John Kennedy, R-La., and Darline Graham, R-S.C., demanded that Senate Majority Leader John Thune cancel the scheduled August recess and instead abolish the filibuster and pass the voter integrity legislation.

On Monday, President Donald Trump called on Thune in a Truth Social post to prevent the Senate from leaving town without passing the legislation.

Thune did not respond to the Daily Signal’s request for comment.

The ‘List of Excuses’

The memorandum explicitly tells Republican Senate staffers to urge their bosses to deflect media questions on the SAVE America Act, party “infighting,” August recess, and the filibuster, as the media is looking for an opportunity to divide the conference.
