JUST IN: Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell says the Senate will hold a vote on any nominee President Trump makes to replace Ruth Bader Ginsburg

From CNN's Allie Malloy and Jim Acosta

President Trump took the stage in Bemidji, Minnesota, minutes before the news broke that Ruth Bader Ginsburg died, and he has not acknowledged the late Supreme Court justice, appearing not to know the news as he continues his rally.

Is he OK?

His words mean nothing. He is puppet master for trump. Dangerous to all Americans

You give politics a really bad name...lying, cheating, power hungry, you first....can't stand up to Trump!

If the Democrats can’t find a legal way to stop this they shouldn’t be in office. If this does happen the Supreme Court will lose any legitimacy. It will be known as the banana court.

Pathetic turd-le. Another turd to be flushed Nov. 3rd.

What you all seem to forget is that the Democrats didn’t have the votes in the Senate anyway. Obama’s choice wasn’t getting picked anyway. That is what McConnell was referring to then.

You are just like trump so incompetent

Soon we will have 4 more Justices and all democrats thanks to MoscowMitch

But still have no chin or chest to beat.

Please RETIRE

P.o.S

Another old fool that refuse to retire from the USA senate.

We can only pray there will not be enough votes to confirm anyone right now.

All of these OLD dudes need to retire.........’👇🏿

rosemaryCNN Mitch better not attempt to attend Justice Ginsburg's memorial service MitchMustGo

Pelosi should come out and challenge Trumps hubris and dare him to wait until after the election to nominate a justice. Better yet, get his sheeple to dare him to wait, clearly they think he will be re-elected. RGBRIP

Mitch you are a man who is to concerned about power not to do what is right.

Impeach this POS

He needs to be gone

Vote this idiot out of office.

We're fucked for generations.

Dirty , double crossing, despicable. Just a small smattering of words that come to mind when I see what is going on in the White House and Senate. I was always taught that if someone was a double crosser what would make me think that they wouldn’t do the same to me? Sad

Hypocrite!

Obviously, great headline.

If Republicans do this fool hardiness then democrats should impeach Kavanagh at a later date.

He makes my skin crawl.

Red neck

When God for you it going to be a real celebration.

Moscow Mitch dirtiest slime ball and most corrupt senator.

McConnell is a total loser. Shame on all of them

F naw B

I mean McConnell's words are absolutely coming back to haunt him! We cannot be silent!

Welcome to America where no one in power gives a sh$ anymore. Power corrupts and the regime has shown how true that is. If this president and his henchmen are re-elected the once strong and mighty USA will be no better than Ryssia or China

Morally broken human step down you weasel

I cannot stand to even look at his face...he's a miserable excuse for a human being. Pure wickedness.

So disrespectful. Haven't even put her body in the ground yet, but they are ready to shove someone else to that position before the election

It won’t pass

DitchMoscowMitch

Heartless. Completely heartless.

Evil....

Mitch McConnell you are evil incarnate

Hypocrite much?

Hey mitch you is gone finally this year frog face

senatemajldr Moscow Mitch showing his true monstrosity

Nope wait like the democratic waited. you’re not that special mr. privilege.

moscowmitch is a traitor to democracy.

How unlike Mitch to say one thing and then do the opposite

Pos

This may cost Mr. Trump the election.

No condolences? This sounds like 'what took you so long?'

MoscowMitchMcConnell is a hypocrite

Not gonna happen

Moscow Mitch is an immoral,hipocrit, liar and cheat just like Trump. It would be an honor if Kentuckians ' VOTE HIM OUT '.

🤮

Mail in voting

Wow RBG has not even been buried yet. Didn't he give Obama flack saying new incoming administration must choose SC replacement in 2016. He should wait till after elections. After all, it should not be an issue since they think their candidate will win

Per the constitution

Dammmm didnt she just pass away yesterday? Cold!!!!

Fuck that shyt! How about yall vote on a real stimulus plan!

This is the face of hypocrisy

Two words 'White Man'

MitchMcConnellisAPig

Can't the people of Kentucky replace turtle face or they are all idiots out there

What a hypocrite.

Democrats have only one person to blame and that is Ginsburg herself. Like Tom Brady, She is Prime example of an individual who does not know when to retire. “Term limits” That she was/is the only person who could do the job!!

Disgusting

We are dealing with a man that has no soul and has allowed evil to take residence in his heart. He does not have the best interests of ALL Americans in mind and the Democratic party can't keep trying to kill the vampire with lemons. Honor her legacy and FIGHT!!!

No sole, no heart

As voters we elect a President for four years and he is in office to serve our nation till their term is complete.

Republicans can’t win elections based upon policy or ideas. So they cheat, lie, stack the courts, and scare the hell out of gullible cowards and idiots, and embrace racists. McConnell is a traitor- he perverts the Constitution to line his pockets. Thanks, Kentucky.

Y’all know Democrat’s have chimed in on this too right away right?

The Republicans need to fill the seat. If and when Trump is re-elected, the Republicans need to expand the Supreme Court, and add more Republicans to it. They should do this since the Democrats want to bring it up.

Pos

WHO CARES

Yes! End Abortion and defund PP... Vote Red!

This man is a hypocrite. People should see him for what he really is.

If Dems allow Rep to do this (when they didn't allow Obama to pick a nominee on election times 'because América needed to have a voice on that pick'), i wiil be done believing in the political system and laws. If it was green yesterday, why you want to call it yellow today?

Hell NO! YOU CANNOT HIJACK THIS COUNTRY ANY LONGER!!! BE FAIR! You made Barack wait to fill a seat until post election, Donald should have to wait until the election, too. We do not trust him!

TrumpGenocide HuffPost reuters maddow “Deflect all the blame, steal all the credit!” It seems like you have to be heartless to be a Republican.

Nope the people must speak

Amy McGrath will see moscowmitchs reign of terror end! Vote 💙!

Slime

Ditch Mitch!

Did you forget what you said previously? Who has memory loss now? The incoming President regardless of who it is should be the one to nominate the new nominee not the 'outgoing' president. This needs to be tabled until after the elections!

What is McConnell thinking about? His Republican colleagues are already abandoning him on the RBG replacement. Like rats on a sinking ship. Don’t let Trump ‘pack the Court’!

senatemajldr Remember what you said in 2016: “The American ppl should have a voice in the selection of th…

What a disgrace this man to humanity, democracy and to this country

When Obama tried that you disapproved because it was too close to election; we have less than two months; we can wait. Tired of you guys putting crooked, lying, cheating and uneducated people in high positions. Call the Senate let them know we will honor RGB wishes

McConnell even looks “evil” as he speaks. He is not a Jesus type in his actions and, I dare say, in his thoughts. It’s all about manipulation.

I hope Sen McConnell remembers his March 2016 speech.

Where have I seen replacing a justice months before a president’s term ends play out before 🤔

Don't blame Mitch. The Bernie Bros and African Americans who did not vote for Hillary are to blame. If Hillary were elected she would have appointed at least 2 women and African Americans and/or Latinos to the Supreme Court

Fishface should shut up and let the nomination wait until after the elections or RBG's ghost will haunt him for eternity. Oh, who am I kidding... he's already so cursed that he won't notice another screaming soul in the night...

Shame on all of you! America needs to wake up. God Bless this woman, honor her dying request!

the body is still warm... shutitalldown4RBG

such a two faced decision by MoscowMitch

Good

In America the political process has been outsourced to the Supreme Court. Why not just fire the entire Congress? What good do they do? It’s all about grandstanding and pleasing their corporate donors. Most are far removed from the reality their constituents live daily

U people don't care you wamt to put your puppet there so you can tell them what to do for your self

The woman is not even cold yet. Shameless and inhumane. People cannot even grieve her loss. He should just keel over himself!

Can't wait until your out of office mitch

He is a devil, the people of Kentucky should vote him out. That's the only way out, shame on him

can't stand this guy. hope he gets crushed with the vote.

There’s no more serious matter for the GOP, than to fill that seat as soon as possible. It actually has more impact for generations that the upcoming election. They will not wait ...... period.

Let’s be realistic, there’s a majority of Americans that don’t agree with her rulings of beliefs. It’s a sad moment when anyone passes, but the left forced her to stay on the bench, and that poor women never was allowed to enjoyed her last years because of selfish democrats!

It’s gonna be TIM he’s the most extreme

Bruh if they put TIM SCOTT on the Supreme Court, it’s fucked.

Double-standard Mitch. Shame on you.

But what if everyone in the senate gets Covid...I guess there wouldn’t be a vote then, right? 🤔🤔🤔🤔

this is one despicable man

Just as Trump attached Obama not to replace a judge , he will do so, such a hippocrate

Hypocrite!!!!

Time to make some phone calls and DEMAND that the Senate wait for the next president to be sworn in! Lisa Murkowski 907 262 4220 Mitt Romney 801 524 4380 Susan Collins. 207 662 8414 Chuck Grassley 202 224 3744

This is the chance the GOP needs to show their true colors! The party is devoid of any scruples whatsoever and are nothing more than crass, power-hungry hacks. VOTE THEM OUT!

This man is a hypocrite. The next President should have the right to nominate RBG's successor. May RBG rest in peace.

These politicians are heartless. I wish we could replace each and everyone of them with a new crop of leaders. RGB just passed away and all they could think of is how to replace her. Not even a thought for the family.

They won’t get the votes they need and if they go ahead with this they will look like hungry vultures.

Im sorry but you wouldnt let Obama put in a justice during an election so you cant either, pass a stimulus bill do your job.

DEMOCRATS SHOULD BOYCOTT THAT VOTE !

'The American people should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice. Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new president.' ~Mitch McConnell, February 2016.senatemajldr

Can A Black Female Judge Fill In Her Shoes ? Scotus WhiteHouse Vote

Tick Tock Mitch

Wow and you would not let President Obama nominate a justice almost 10 months before the election. WOW!! Just Garbage, simple and smelly garbage.

How insensitive!!!!! The woman just died and he is already talking about a replacement? Really🤷🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️

Per NPR Justice Ginsburg’s deathbed statement is this: “My most fervent wish is that I will not be replaced until a new President is installed.”

Cannot wait to desecrate this man’s grave. I’m going on a road trip around the country in a few years when Mitch and the other geezers pass on. At least I get to practice my skull carving

Mitch is TRASH

What about this. Republicans don't keep promises.

Haven't been able to bring a stimulus bill that the people desperately need to vote on the Senate floor in FOUR MONTHS. Yet this didn't even take FOUR hours!!

This is the same Larry whi said Obama couldn’t put firward his nomination because he only had a YEAR left what hypocrites and they should be ashamed even thinking about a replacement when the poor woman just died

Except he cannot do it lest he be written off as the ugliest bonafide hypocrite to walk the halls of Congress!!! Ever! Guy needs to sit down: PRONTO

You better start thinking about the people who cannot affird to have food at the table and those who NOW are homeless. Because of................ Fill in the blank!! Its disgusting! 200.000 people dead......will be not easy to forgiven!!!

He truly a demon turtle

DAM FREAKING RIGHT !

Republicans like McConnell are a bunch of vile, evil, morally bankrupt hypocrites and Hell has a special place for them.

Not in a election year

FU.

Ghoulish.

Despicable.

The McConnell Rule: “The American people should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice. Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new president.” --Mitch McConnell, February 2016

Fucking hypocrite

HypocriteMitch why would anyone expect less from trumps lapdog LindseyGrahamSC are you going to keep your word?

They delayed much longer when Obama was President...

You are a sick person with no moral compass. Trump will not appoint the next Justice because he has no justice and no right to usurp the rights of those who are seeking fairness in the US

The shame is that there are partisan judges in the first place. I'd expect neutrality from any judge. That the political system allows the installment of buddies on such important offices is the scandal here. A shame also that the people believe that this process is rightful.

Hahaha just keeps getting better

You blcked Obama, but you want to help Trump 45 days before an election. Your racist ways are showing.

Thank You senatemajldr

Let us all hope this wont be granted. Trump pick a good replacement for her. RIP RBG Should have stepped down long ago. McConnell & GOP in 2016 made the argument 8 justices is fine until the next election since if there's a tie , the lower court ruling will stand. They held up Obama's nomination for 10 MONTHS saying it was too close to the election. We're now weeks away, voters should decide!
