Jayapal admits she only wanted to nuke filibuster when Democrats controlled Senate

Congressional Progressive Caucus Chairwoman Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) admitted that her desire to see senators abolish the filibuster was a partisan hope rather than a strictly principled position.

Speaking at a press conference with the Congressional Progressive Caucus on Monday, Jayapal was asked how she weighed her plans to use the filibuster to protect Democrats’ policies after her party lost control of the White House, Senate, and likely the House, with her previous advocacy to get rid of it.
