Schumer calls Supreme Court hearing 'irresponsible and dangerous' after senators test positive for coronavirus
Fox News ^ | October 03 2020 | Brie Stimson

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said Friday evening it would be “irresponsible and dangerous” to move forward with a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing for President Trump’s Supreme Court nominee on Oct. 12 after two Republican senators on the panel confirmed they have tested positive for the coronavirus.

"We now have two members of the Senate Judiciary Committee who have tested positive for COVID, and there may be more," Schumer tweeted. "I wish my colleagues well. It is irresponsible and dangerous to move forward with a hearing, and there is absolutely no good reason to do so."

Sens. Thom Tillis, R-N.C. and Mike Lee, R-Utah, both confirmed Friday they had tested positive for the virus and will self-isolate for 10 days. The senators said they had little to no symptoms. President Trump also said he and first lady Melania Trump had tested positive early Friday.

Easy for Schumer to say after Democrat operatives dusted DJTs debate podium in Cleveland with C19 virus.

LOL, they were talking about RBG’s final wish.

Well, Trump’s in the hospital, what about his wish?

Trump was out working since day one of the Chinese virus while non-essential congress losers cowered at home.

Does Senator Schumer want a hearing because he might change his mind and vote for Judge Barrett if the hearing were held?

Are there members of his caucus in that position?

I presume the answer is "no". Since they all know how they are going to vote, what is the justification for a public humiliation ritual for the nominee prior to voting on the floor?

Trying to avoid the dog-and-pony show that will make your party look like the wretches that they are, leading into the election? I’m sure America would like to see Kamala in action one more time.

Right on cue. I believe it is no coincidence that so many people were infected at the Barrett event.

WOW! I find myself agreeing with Schumer, will wonders ever cease? Skip the hearing and go straight to the floor vote. Besides, you had a hearing on her three years ago and voted her in, what has changed?
Lamar cancel the hearings and go to the final vote.

You’re absolutely right!
The lying drama queen doesn’t care about anything but deep state insurrection.
He has probably already been covid vaccinated like evil skank Pelosi. How many arrows are left in her stinky old quiver?

I bet he does. The more the Left says, the more guilty they look. Or at the least how super hypocritical.
