CNN's Don Lemon Says 'People Aren't Worried' About Biden's Court-Packing Stance
foxnews.com ^ | October 12, 2020

CNN anchor Don Lemon insisted on Monday night that "people aren't worried" about whether or not Joe Biden supports court-packing.

For weeks, both Biden and his running mate Kamala Harris have evaded taking a stance regarding court-packing, which has been floated by several Democrats amid the SCOTUS confirmation battle of Judge Amy Coney Barrett as a threat for a potential Biden administration to expand the of number seats on the court to exceed the six conservative-leaning justices.

During Monday night's primetime handoff, Lemon chided his colleague Chris Cuomo for "doing the Republicans' work" by pushing the court-packing issue.

"It's not a legitimate question in that during the debate, the vice president raised the question, the moderator didn't raise the question," Lemon dismissed the controversy. "This is a hypothetical... Joe Biden has said twice, at least on tape that I've seen, how he feels about court-packing. And I feel it's a distraction from the Republicans and the president."

"Then why doesn't he answer it?" Cuomo asked.

"Because he doesn't have to," Lemon responded.

"Well, he doesn't have to 'answer' anything," Cuomo conceded. "You don't think it's going to affect people's trust potion?"

"No, no because people aren't worried about that," Lemon continued. "People are concerned about, if you want to know specifically about the court, people are concerned about the Republicans switching and being hypocrites on saying 'This is an election year.' That's what people are concerned about... People are also concerned about where they're gonna get their healthcare from, are they gonna die from COVID, they're worried about their pre-existing conditions.

Maybe folks realize he’s a Trojan Biden to smuggle a Harris past the gates?

Rasmussen poll October 1, 2020

Only 32% favor increasing the number of justices on the high court, but that’s up from 27% in last year’s survey. Fifty-three percent (53%) are opposed. Fourteen percent (14%) are undecided.

If, God willing, President Trump is reelected, one of the essential things he needs to do includes requiring news organizations to label as “opinion” any content that isn’t provably factual. There needs to be huge penalties for presenting opinion as fact.

SF Chronicle used to do that, had "Opinion" on the front page labeled as such, they stopped doing that oh about seven years ago or something like that. Now it's wall to wall editorials and entertainment with a recipe or two thrown in, and a sports page.

If he were correct, it is because the unwashed don’t even know the three branches of the Federal government. Remember, AOC said they were “President, Congress and the Senate.” And this Moonbat swore an oath to the Constitution!

Never trust a fool who thinks his back hole has two purposes. A sodomite has no mind and no morality.

If Donna were correct, than Biden & Harris would happily tell us they support enlarging the Court. I go back & forth over which one is more idiotic: Fredo or Donna.

Not sure why impotent republicans aren’t reminding Americans every second that a vote that includes k harris is a vote to bring san fransickko to your town, to your kids scool, to your busuliness. To your houses of worship.

How can Lemon say anything intelligible with his mouth full?

This guy is dumber than a room full of Adam Schiffs.

With two different answers. Honesty is best, don’t have to worry about which story you told to who.

I wonder what Don Lemonade would have to say if Trump said he wanted to expand the Supreme Court?
