FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. — A day after Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s death, President Donald Trump relished the opportunity to promise his supporters that he would fill the vacant Supreme Court seat, a move designed to energize his voters just weeks before the election.
In 2016, the Republican-led Senate refused to hold a vote on President Barack Obama’s nominee for a vacancy, Merrick Garland, claiming it was because it was an election year. This time around, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has vowed to hold a vote on Trump’s nominee, though he hasn’t specified timing.
And during the event, when Trump announced he would nominate a woman next week, he took two "very scientific" polls, as he described them jokingly, on whether he should pick a woman or man. The crowd cheered louder for a woman. "If I lose to him, I don’t know what I’m going to do,” he said. "I’ll never speak to you again. You’ll never see me again. How do you lose?"
And he mocked Biden for failing to release a list of possible Supreme Court nominees as he did last when he updated a previous list.Trump again heaped praise on his administration for its handling of the coronavirus outbreak, but on Saturday he said little about the actual pandemic. “We're rounding the turn,” he said. “We're rounded the corner of the pandemic.”
OR May Be Biggest Mistake!!
I respect Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, but this is just another way of her saying 'I want a Liberal Associate Justice appointed to the Supreme Court Bench.' She should have been retired long ago and another Justice appointed. 👨⚖️🧑⚖️
The President is required by law to fill the seat. The democrats and the media won’t follow the Constitution. Divide and conquer democrats.
The democrats will do nothing about it either. They will talk about it a bunch, maybe rip up some papers. But that's about it. Meanwhile idiot trump will get to do the very thing the hypocrites said drone strike obama wasnt allowed to do. Seems fair.
If it wasnt for Double Standards Republicans would have NO standards at all. Graham Collins Gardner Cruz ALL said you can not fill a Seat in an election year and Stole a seat from Obama. Hypocrisy or Racism...take your pick?
FillThatSeat
Listening to him really reminded me of ancient Rome and people cheering when the emperor gives the thumbs down to gladiators
Bunch of idjits
Chant of a Trump death cult of personality of alleged pro lifers fine that TrumpKnewAndDidNothing is so 2020.
Not gonna happen
Current State of AMERICA: 200,000 dead ; 30M unemployed; millions facing eviction and foreclosure; families standing in line at food banks, hundreds of thousands small businesses closed, chaos in the streets. All this under Trump’s Presidency. TrumpFAILURE
Those racists are controlling that racist president to appoint another racist supreme court justice. With Clarence Thomas, we already have enough racist justices.
I so badly wish I had the money to leave this country that I used to love.
I think trump thought they said, 'Feel the Seat,' instead of 'Fill the Seat,' that's why he got all excited. Until the women took him to court for yet another sexual assault claim.
Paid crowd because he can’t do anything without an audience. VoteOutTrump VoteBlueToSaveAmerica next!
Trump for President 2020 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
He so badly wants to do the Nazi salute!🤬
Yes. Joe Biden will fill the seat as the next President of America. VoteBlueToSaveAmerica
I thought from the headline they were pressuring each other not to leave any empty seats.
Hyp-O-Crits! Hyp-O-Crits!
Do these idiots even realize that Trump called them 'disgusting people'?
He gave the sign of 'White Power' with his raised fist, and no one noticed? BBCWorld. latimes HuffPost nytimes dbcurren jerrysaltz CultrHack cnni
and they will, but they’ll lose everything else
of course Trump should view quick filling of the seat as a poison apple--once that is done the GOP are done with him--they have milked the amoral bigot to the max--they can dump him and dems are energized to VOTE Him Out
'Fill that (Oval Office) seat, fill that (Oval Office) seat' with someone who has honor, integrity, intelligence and true patriotism. That leaves out trump* obviously.
They'll chant whatever theyre god wants them to chant.
Moscow Mitch and Donald Trumpster Fire should not be making this decision. The shoe is on the other foot this time. All Republicans in the Senate need to be patriots 1st and put country above party. Vote Biden/Harris 2020 Make America Less Afraid and More Sane Again!
at the same time they could lose the senate
I see the Nuremberg rallies have found their new chant.
What crowds?
tacky AF
What?!?
We the Democrats stand ready to donate another $80 millions again.
idiots don’t know that they’re cheering for the demise of healthcare, women’s rights, medicare, social security and veterans benefits. LowIQVoter trumpcult Idiocracy 🐑 🐑 🐑
TOILET 😂
They think everything is a contest. When did humans become such suckers for the simplicity of binary choices? We live in a vast spectrum, but everybody is now left/right, blue/red, democrat/republican, 1/0 ... that's it How stupid. The human race deserves to perish.
Damn straight
Politico is so out of touch they think Furbies will replace dogs as America's favorite pet.
I think he just did.
Who are these people?
To someone who perhaps fears sitting?
Go for it. Time to show your cards.
I hope trump doesn't stiff all those 'actors with no experience' he hired to jack him off
This is terrible!
