GOP Senator Has an Idea to Match Democrats’ DC Statehood ‘Power Grab’; Cruz: Dems Using ‘Race Card’ in D.C. Statehood Debate
By Townhall. The Democratic majority in the House of Representatives passed legislation recognizing D.C. statehood on Thursday, and the measure now heads to the Senate. Granting D.C. statehood has minimal GOP support, and it is unlikely to overcome the 60-vote threshold in the upper chamber.
While Republicans remain opposed to making D.C. the 51st state, on a constitutional basis, one Republican lawmaker proposed a different idea to match Democrats’ demand. GOP Senator Roger Marshall (R-KS) introduced legislation to make D.C. a part of Maryland, as opposed to giving individual statehood.

This is another example of the Dem’s political greediness and goal to alter the very fabric of our republic. Americans recognize this power grab is intended to increase the # of Dem Senators so they can enact their radical agenda & tip the scales of power in their favor.

Cruz: Dems Using ‘Race Card’ in D.C. Statehood Debate — ‘Only Card They Have in Their Deck’
By Breitbart. Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) on Friday reacted to Democrats’ remarks on the House floor in defense of Washington, D.C. statehood, including Rep. Mondaire Jones (D-NY) calling GOP arguments “racist trash.”
Cruz said in an interview with Fox News Channel’s “The Faulkner Focus” that the “race card” is the “only card” Democrats have in their deck. He called into question why the Democrats are pushing for more power instead of focusing on coming out of the coronavirus pandemic. (Read more from “Cruz: Dems Using ‘Race Card’ in D.C.
