Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell on Tuesday rejected criticism of President Joe Biden’s decision to nominate the first Black woman to the Supreme Court.
“I heard a couple of people say they thought it was inappropriate for the president to announce he was going to put an African American woman on the court. Honestly, I did not think that was inappropriate,” the Kentucky Republican said during an event in his home state, Politico reported.
McConnell referenced similar pledges from former presidents Ronald Reagan and Donald Trump to pick women for the Supreme Court. Reagan campaigned to put the first ever woman on the high court and fulfilled that promise by nominating Sandra Day O’Connor in 1981. Trump vowed to nominate a woman to the court after the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg in September 2020 and did so by picking Amy Coney Barrett.
“I’m not complaining about that,” McConnell said, per The Hill. …

Why cant these fools keep their traps shuts?
McConnell, unlike some of his colleagues, is a swampy Uniparty stooge doing just what Schumer and Pelosi tell him to do.
McConnell, unlike some of his GOP colleagues, embraces Biden’s decision to nominate an America Hating Communist to the Supreme Court.
Get this moron out of the senate.
Nobody was against a black woman for The SC (except Biden).
The problem is and always has been picking someone solely on their race or sex and not their credentials.
What if she were white
Would that matter?
Because they believe they’re unaccountable now.
Why did they elect this clown?
Democrats fight dirty with every nomination. This gutless stooge says “kick me,” and we get more idiots like Sotomayor.
Just look how well Biden’s promise to pick a black woman VP turned out.
Story is that Mitch was kicked out of the National Guard over an “eyesight problem”. The officer quoted said “he had a hard time telling men from women”.
They have the dirt on him. Another Hastert closet homo.
Not sure that they did.
I know last time he used his influence to push out competitors during the primary; these days I always suspect fraud.
Just ask the serious questions. Can’t stop her. The lefties will blow their dog whistle but the turtles job is to be dead serious about what she stands for.
SPJNK.
That cannot possibly hurt him now.
Think about how he got the nickname “Cocaine Mitch”, too.
Turtle has to support everything Biden does since Biden is helping to enrich The Chao family. If Turtle steps out of line there will be consequences.
He does not want to step out of line. Even if he wasn’t married to Elaine, that would be the case. He was a RINO going back to the Reagan years.
Is Hillary still disbarred?
As the wife of the first Black President, she might be perfect
As some who has had a black female supervisor I can tell you that this is a bad idea.
Now it’s about his communist Chinese money. How this weak chinned tool ever got to be the big guy in the Senate is beyond me. And of course, in today’s world the only way to get rid of Senators is when they die of old age.
