Stevie Wonder is urging the Senate to change filibuster rules to pass voting rights legislation.
“Any senator who cannot support the protection of voting rights in the United States of America cannot say they support the Constitution. Stop the hypocrisy, cut the ‘bull-tish,’ ” Wonder said in a video posted to his YouTube channel on Tuesday.
“If you care and support our rights, do the hard work. You can’t please everybody but you can protect all of us and to keep it all the way real: The filibuster is not working for democracy, why won’t you?” he added.
Senate democrats have been facing pressure from civil rights leaders including Martin Luther King Jr.’s family and President Joe Biden to change the Senate’s filibuster rules to pass voting rights legislation.
Democratic Sens. Joe Manchin (W. Va.) and Kyrsten Sinema (Ariz.) have both publicly oppose changing the rules to pass the legislation
