McConnell: Nominee will face unfair tactics

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell mocks the "far-left rhetoric" surrounding President Donald Trump's possible nominee for Supreme Court justice.

[tmseh]

McConnell knows all about unfair tactics.

[debbiedoodiedandi]

Unfair tactics?!? This mf has some nerve!

[wendyalexander]

Unfair tactics? McConnel has room to talk.

[andreaspedersen]

"Unfair tactics??" The one person who wanted the dems to wait AFTER the president election for nominating?? So the dems let grumpy McConnell have his way and let Obamas centrist choice Garland go. Hypocrisy on its Worst!

[adamwoodard]

Said by a cowardly turtle who stole a seat from Obama.

[primednoble]

What goes around comes around! If only you were not so obsessed with denying 44 anything and everything you and Paul Ryan could think of. Then maybe we would not be living in this politically polarized America. NO ONE FEELS SORRY FOR YOU MITCH!

[thisbabyboomer]

Treat them as fair as you treated Obama right???

[oscaratdellmini]

Was just looking up the word "hypocrisy". This guy's picture kept coming up.

Is this man more likely working on behalf of the average middle class tax payer, or himself?

[resonance]

I find this rich, after all he was complicit in blocking Obama's pick.

[somewhereintimeiam]

I'll give him credit when there is a Justice Garland! Till that happens MCCONNELL is FISHING WITHOUT BAIT.

You have a lot of nerve bringing up unfair tactics. What you did in stopping Obama's nominee from getting an up or down vote was illegal in itself. You've claimed powers that a majority leader doesn't have. For you as majority leader, to decide what can come to the floor for a vote isn't your job. It reads that you bring up what going to be voted on. Doesn't say that you pick and choose. The way you have done it isn't democracy. Tommy

[purplelleann]

Mitch McConnell you’re a turtle, you have no right to talk. Trump should nominate a liberal to balance power.

[prestonnorris]

I see he still hasn't had his neck circumcised

[jasonmcgee]

Seriously, McConnell will go down in history as one of the most hypocritical Senators in history.

[captainswag]

Nobody cares what you think McConnell.

[michaelreilly]

Gee Mitch, why do you think people are ready to go to war over a Supreme Court Justice pick? Think really really hard now. Do remember any actions you took regarding the last pick? The word you're looking for is 'hypocrisy', not 'apocalypse'.

[largelysubatomic]

He might be hypocritical but he's also not wrong. Both parties resort to the same hyperbolic rhetoric and scare tactics over and over again to whip their base into an emotional frenzy.

[dode]

If you want to do the right thing Mitchy boy, you could get Spanky to nominate Garland - anything else is the wrong thing

[jasonmcgee]

The nominee will face unfair tactics? You mean like refusing to vote on the nominee for nearly a year?
