@RoyBlunt Senator Roy Blunt

For those noting that recess appts are common practice under past presidents, this is unprecedented bc the Senate is not currently in recess 5 hours ago

So, if the Senate is actually in session was Senator Blunt (r) there? Isn’t that the opposite of recess? Just asking.

Evidently not. On either side of that hand wringing Twitter post:

Oh, it’s an obstructionist republican game.

From Eli Yokley:

…SEN. ROY BLUNT will be in mid-Missouri again today, holding business roundtables in Lake Ozark, California, Booneville, Fayette, Marshall, Brusnswick, and Moberly…

Yep.

Heh. Complaining about not being in recess while not actually being there. That’s real chutzpah.
