Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) on Sunday called for voters to fight against the confirmation of President Trump's Supreme Court nominee, speaking at a joint media event called to discuss the death of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
"Call you senator and tell them not to listen to Mitch McConnell, not to be afraid of Mitch McConnell, to stand up and do the right thing," Schumer said, referencing Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's (R-Ky.) plans to hold a vote to confirm Trump's nominee to replace Ginsburg.
Ginsburg died Friday due to complications of metastatic pancreas cancer. Her death triggered debate in Washington over what will happen to her Supreme Court seat heading into the election. Most Republicans support confirming whoever Trump announces as his nominee. But Democrats say it is hypocritical after Republicans blocked the confirmation of former President Obama's nominee Merrick Garland in 2016 because it was close to the election.
During Sunday's press conference, Schumer and Ocasio-Cortez called on voters to turn out in force this November to support Biden, and warned of the court decisions that could be handed down, such as overturning the Affordable Care Act, if the Supreme Court gains another conservative justice.
"This is one of the most important times that we have had for everyday people to stand up," Ocasio-Cortez said. "We all need to be more courageous and we all must act in unprecedented ways to make sure that our rights are stabilized. And to Mitch McConnell, we need to tell him that he is playing with fire. We need to make sure that this vacancy is protected, that our election continues and that the American people have their say."
I guess Ginsberg believed the leftist propaganda about her health. Anyone here remember this gem of a Potemkin lie? 83-Year-Old Ruth Bader Ginsburg's Workout Is Super Hard
Sucks to be you leftists.
Your post is the best post of this thread!
Shut up and make me a drink.
We back Trump and McConnell 1000 %, kiss my @ss!!!!
GREAT POST!!!!!
Dilbert was once one of my favorite cartoons, but at some point in the past, Scott Adams wrote something I could hardly believe...don’t remember what it was, but I kind of cut ties and didn’t read any of his cartoons or opinions.
It really bothered me. It sounded like what I heard coming from the left. I have never been able to find what it was he wrote so I could look at it retrospectively and determine if I had been too harsh, but could never find it. I am going to guess it was something very libertarian leaning, something I have found unpalatable, even if they do have certain viewpoints that I can agree with.
But over the last eight years or so, he has turned out to be one of the preeminent voices from the right that has effectively skewered the left on so many points that I found myself cheering this guy on.
I have to say, it has made me happy to be back on board with him. I find his opinions, and those of James Woods to be both incisive and on target...as well as humorous.
Democrat politicians and office holders won’t be able to stop themselves from inciting riots.
It’s hard to imagine more favorable electoral conditions.
She will live it down. She’s not going to live it up.
You’re right Rand.
Sounds like a threat to me too. Whoever buys the pallets of bricks the thugs use to break store windows would surely supply what she needs for this latest threat - - these aren’t empty threats.
Congresstwit Occasionally Coherent and Senator Schmucky. The darlings of the Leftists. They definitely speak for the country, or at least the Northeast and the West Coast
Amen to that.
Excuse me AOC! Ginsbergs seat is NOT a piece of property belonging to you! Tomorrow you will hear from me.

Yeah, Chucky, because we know you would have done the SAME thing if the shoe was on the other foot, right? On the contrary, you stunk up the place because McConnell wouldn't hold hearings on Garland. You don't even know what "the right thing" is! When Trump is reelected and the House and Senate are majority Republican, THEN will you shut up and do your job??? Will y'all finally accept the will of the American people?
Hey Alex..
Grey Goose dirty martini, dry with extra olives
Stay in your wheelhouse sweetheart, youre way out of your league
Schumer and AOC. Where’s Nanzi? What are her thoughts :)
Always violence by the democrats.
Great post!
AOL needs to know she is playing with fire by supporting and instigating sedition.
She should find a good highschool civics teacher to teach her about the insurrection act that the president can enact without the permission of congress.
The one where he can call in the marines and let them give the command, FIRE at will.....
We can only hope that AOL is present with the rioters on one of the nights that this happens.
Someone needs to demonstrate to her that her big mouth does not make her bullet proof.
When AOL has fire in her hands there are a lot of people out here who would squirt her with lighter fluid.
