Bill Clinton: McConnell, Trump ‘Hypocritical’ — ‘Their First Value Is Power’(#CMTSU!)
breitbart.com ^ | 9/20/2020 | Pam Key

Former President Bill Clinton said on Sunday’s broadcast of CNN’s “State of the Union” that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and President Donald Trump were “hypocritical” for vowing to fill the vacancy following the passing of Supreme Court Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

Anchor Jake Tapper said, “President Trump has vowed to nominate a woman this week to fill that slot on the Supreme Court. What’s your reaction?”

Clinton said, “Well, of course, it’s superficially hypocritical, isn’t it? Mitch McConnell wouldn’t give President Obama’s nominee Merrick Garland a hearing ten months before the president’s election. And that meant that we went a long time with eight judges on the court. This is what they do. I think both for Senator McConnell and President Trump. Their first value is power, and they’re trying to fill the court with as many ideological judges as they can. But to be fair, there is a case to be made for the argument McConnell made that in the middle of a presidential season, you should give the voters a say — that’s what he said when it was 10 months away. But when the shoe’s on the other foot, and he wants to judge, we’re fewer than 50 days away, and that argument doesn’t cut any mustard.”

He added, “So, it’s going to further spread cynicism in our system. And, you know, he said he wouldn’t do it.”

OMG——when are we going to be rid of these self-appointed “eternal presidents”-——Clinton and Obama?

They exploit the office for all its worth to make themselves filthy rich.....AND ...... they want an opinion on everything.

Way past time we rid the public square of these annoying people.

We all know Bubba likes to parse words, which is what he basically did here. He didn't mention bathhouse barry was approaching the end of the second term of his reign of terror, therefore it is lame duck apples v. orange Trump! 😉 TRUMP 2020 🇺🇸

Ol BJClinton ought to be spending his latter days, in sack cloth and ashes, instead of preaching about anybody being ‘hypocritical’... His whirlwind is about to come calling.

Does anyone seriously doubt that if the situation was reversed the Democrats and their sycophants in the media would gleefully declare “elections have consequences” and rush their nominee through confirmation?

It depends upon what the meaning of the word "syphil-is" is.

Here’s what I got before I got tired.

“WHEN THERE’S A VACANCY ON THE SUPREME COURT, THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES IS TO NOMINATE SOMEONE. THE SENATE IS TO CONSIDER THAT NOMINATION AND EITHER THEY DISAPPROVE OF THAT NOMINEE OR THAT NOMINEE IS ELEVATED TO THE SUPREME COURT.

Bill Clinton says his first value is having underage sex. Of course to him, it all depends upon the definition of sex, as in, “I did not have sex with that woman, Monica Lewinsky.”

The chips fall where they will Bill.

McConnell was within his rights Constitutionally in 2016.

He is within his rights Constitutionally in 2020.

Hypocrisy doesn’t enter into it at all.

Republicans had control of the United States Senate and
it was their decision whether to advance Obama’s
nomination or not. The chose not to.

Today the Republicans are in charge again, and they can
decide as they choose again. And guess what Bill, they
will approve Trump’s pick.

Go back to whoring yourself around and leave the grown-ups,
who actually have a clue what is going on, alone.
