UMVA has learned that President Trump unleashed a scathing attack on Senate Parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough via a fiery Truth Social post, coming off the heels of another successful night of primary victories.
The President's ire was sparked by MacDonough's recent ruling that struck down three crucial provisions of the Senate's reconciliation bill, a move that has significant implications for the funding of key government agencies.
According to information obtained by UMVA, the provisions in question included the main Border Patrol funding, additional Department of Homeland Security Appropriations, and Border Security, Technology & Screening.
MacDonough's decision was a major blow to Republican efforts to fund ICE and Border Patrol through a reconciliation package, which had been put together by Senate Republicans with a price tag of $72 billion.
Sources have confirmed to UMVA that Democrat and Republican staffers met with MacDonough just last Thursday to discuss the reconciliation package, but were ultimately unable to salvage the key provisions.
In his post, President Trump blasted Senate Republicans for being weak and refusing to replace MacDonough, whom he claimed had been brutal to Republicans over the years.
The President's full statement was a scathing critique of the Parliamentarian, accusing her of being unfair to Republicans and calling for her replacement with a more favorable figure.
Trump also used the opportunity to call for the passage of the SAVE AMERICA ACT and the elimination of the Filibuster, warning that if Republicans fail to take action, they will be doomed to electoral defeat.
The President's warning was stark: if Republicans don't get smart and tough, they'll be looking for a job much sooner than they thought possible, and the Democrats will continue to gain power and influence.
UMVA can exclusively reveal that the President's comments have sparked a heated debate within Republican circles, with some lawmakers calling for a re-evaluation of the Parliamentarian's role and others defending MacDonough's impartiality.
The controversy surrounding MacDonough and the reconciliation package is far from over, with many eyes on the Senate's next move and the implications for the funding of key government agencies.
