Democrats and Republicans are exchanging accusations of hypocrisy as they sling prior statements made on Senate confirmation hearings across the aisle.

President Trump vowed to pick a woman and wants the Senate to vote on his nominee before the election as two key Republicans seem to be the support he needs.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer speaks on the floor of the Senate in Washington, Sept. 21, 2020. The two sides have resorted to publicly shaming the other, trading accusations of perpetuating a double standard, with statements made in 2016 when McConnell refused to allow a Senate hearing for appellate Judge Merrick Garland, who President Barack Obama nominated to fill the Supreme Court seat of conservative Justice Antonin Scalia, who died nearly nine months before the presidential election.

and then-Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, penned a 2016 op-ed in the Washington Post, arguing against a Supreme Court nominee hearing in an election year, saying the American voters should"decide who they trust to both lead the country and nominate the next Supreme Court justice.

If the Times is lying about the Trump tax reports then why is Trump just screaming foul instead of taking immediate action in the courts Answer is that he would lose the case.!!

I a disabled Air Force / Navy CS veteran and paid my Federal / State taxes of over $ 3000 / yr. My wife, a nurse, passed away: I lost my home. But D J Trump pays no taxes for every year on record except 2016 paid$750 If I did that they would take all i own or jail me!!

Right now the Republicans 🤦🏻‍♀️

No one beats the Democrats, when it comes to being hypocritical!!! No brainer!!!

Who cares? The real question is which party is getting something done and the answer is neither.

So, please illustrate any situation in which the Democratic Party ( as near as we have to today’s version) attempted anything nearly as underhanded. Comparing anything beyond twenty years ago is irrelevant. There is no instance like this in the modern era. This for the 2nd time?

That would be the Republican Party hands down!.

Dems set the stage for what they are complaining about now.

Stop bothsidesing.

May ALL the hypocrites rot in 🔥🔥

Honestly Joe, rise above the mud slinging. Your better than that.

Republicans hands down

The Russian Republican Party is! Anyone who can’t see this has blinders on!

They both suck.

They’re all hypocrites. Get over it! Fill that seat!

ARE YOU KIDDING ME. Journalism is dead why don’t you just print press releases.

We can settle it now. They're all hypocrites. Now, don't we all feel better? It doesn't matter. It's Trump's job to pick someone & the Senate's job to vote yes or no. Easy peasy.

It’s a wash, both sides said the opposite of what they are saying now.

They both are!These last four years have torn apart both parties and shed light on HOW decisive our country has become. Both parties have lost their way. Independents choosing a candidate that matches their beliefs, instead of a party name is trending. BEWARE of the path coming

democrats by far.. do as i say, not as i do

Way to both sides it. Abc has learned nothing.

The worst enemy of our country and constitution is lying mainstream media intent on the destruction of our country!

The Repugs are hypocrites

Face it, both sides have taken 'both sides' on filling SCOTUS seat when it politically fit their interest. They are all more 'political' than ethical. The constitution is clear on the process, with no provisions for election year delay. True in 2016 and 2020. 'Dying wish' is bull

This is the most unethical and immoral, blatant abuse of power, group of modern GOP Senators we could have imagined. They have helped Trump to further divide this country. They are not fit to govern, they have lost the trust of the people, their words mean nothing, they lied.

Except the difference here is 9 months. 9 months! The R’s have no argument!

Democrats vs Republicans, Evil vs Evil. Which side are you going to chose? From where I am sitting both parties seem to be similar and fueled by the love of money. So this is just a battle of who is the richest. Trump JoeBiden 2020election

Can sling all you want the fact remains they didn’t seat a justice this close to an election

ACB will be confirmed! USA!

🤮🤮🤮

bill_hutchinson DO BETTER PRESS! When the Republicans are in the wrong, the press includes Dems as an accomplice. However, when the Dems are in the wrong, the press ensures the focus and blame is squarely on the Dems. This SC mess is about the GOP power grab. PERIOD.

It is Constitutional that the president selects a SCOTUS Justice and the Senate approves. Trump is president and will be re-elected. The Harris/Biden ticket will never win. Kamala was rejected in Democrat primary and she is the one Barry Obama wants. No way!

Stop both sides-ing this. You are actively hurting people.

ABC/DNC knows either Party would do the same.

The hypocrisy is on the Republican side.

And yet one side, and one man, is the one with all the power. ABC news knew this proven by the fact that they put his picture in this tweet.

This article does not give a single example of a democratic senator saying some hypocritical. Your “both sides” style of reporting is lazy, gutless, and part of the reason the country is burning.

Why do you have to 'both sides' this? This. Is. Not. Journalism. There is only one precedent for this moment: The GOP's treatment of Merrick Garland. The Dems have never done this. Seriously, why is it so hard just to tell the story? Every non journalist is wondering.

This crap will never ever stop until the government constitution and system gets a full revision

Republicans there is no argument, the ones than want to use the old chestnut they all do it, in this are comparing pickpockets to Jack the Ripper !

This is not a fair question.

I’m surprise you’d have to ask that since Democrats are yelling screaming lying bullying. And when there are facts to back it up that makes it even worse. Yup Democrats get my vote the biggest hypocrites going and they will never take over the country.

It’s common sense. We need to get some people together that don’t have an agenda,have a normal thought process and truly care about the USA.This tit for tat is disgusting!

If one wants to know why our country seems so divided look no further than to our leaders in Congress who absolutely refuse to agree on anything. All votes are among party lines because the new members are afraid to breech those lines. Nothing will get accomplished anytime soon.

Toddlers all of them

NOT ONLY ARE DEMOCRATS THE BIGGEST HYPOCRITES. BUT JUST LIKE YOU TRUMP AND AMERICA HATERS. IN TODAYS NATIONAL NEWS MEDIA AND DEMOCRAT PARTY. ENEMIES OF THE GOOD AND DESCENT, LAW ABIDING, HARD WORKING, TAX PAYING, PLAY BY THE RULES AMERICAN PEOPLE !

Equally

The question should be ...How and can Mitchell McConnell move in a haste to fill the seat of the Supreme Court but brag his feet when dealing with the second round Stimulus Checks?
