AOC Urges Americans to be ‘More Courageous’ Following Death of RBG | NowThis

‘It is not hyperbole. The actual balance of our democracy rests in the actions that we choose to make’ — Watch AOC respond to RBG’s death and explain what the SCOTUS vacancy means for our future

In US news and current events today, AOC spoke out about the death of RBG and urged Americans to ‘be more courageous’ as the fate of SCOTUS remains undecided. AOC went live on Instagram on Friday, September 18, just hours after Ruth Bader Ginsburg passed away. The Supreme Court justice reportedly died of cancer complications. She was 87. RBG’s death has immediately sparked controversy over who will decide who fills her vacant SCOTUS seat. On the same night of her death, Sen. Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said, despite RBG’s wishes, he will bring a nominee to the Senate for a vote. McConnell’s move is hypocritical to his stance in 2016, when he refused to hold hearings or a vote for months on Obama’s SCOTUS nominee, Merrick Garland. At the time, McConnell justified his delay by claiming the American people should have a say in the process.

Do Americans use their taxes for wars and bailouts, instead of helping each other ?

[Phantasmos]

How aoc got into congress says a lot about her constituents and how much they don’t know lol

[kalyaniganesh]

Mosocw Mitch is a very cruel person, why does not he give the american people few days to mourn the death of a great woman,

A dying wish is not law..Constitution trumps a wish.

[rhadiem]

My living wish is that you follow the constitution. Everyone do your job in a timely manner.

[castleofaargh]

Dont think there's such a thing as a 'dying wish' clause.

Every republican president has given a recession but this takes the cake 🤕

When will Americans learn ?

By the way thanks for not even mentioning the heroes of 9/11 on September 11, 2020

NTN NEVER addressed the constitutionality of the issue, the fact that 29 SC nominees have been nominated in an election year throughout our history and at least 14 of those confirmed during said time, etc. Just feelings, feelings, feelings. Where are the actual FACTS, NTN?

[kewlnes]

Was that really her dying wish? Didnt she support a president's constitutional right to nominate a supreme court judge even at the end of their 4 year term?

Jew here. RBG’s passing on Rosh Hashanah is not significant whatsoever. AOC needs to stop speaking for entire groups that are not her own. Isn’t this what she asks of everyone else? But when it’s politically convenient...

[buildingcarsissohard]

Sorry dems but this is happening whether you like it or not🔥🤣👌

[rgarcia]

AOC to her mother: "Mom, when I grow up, I want to be a socialist."
Mother to AOC: "That's fine and good, honey, but you know you can't do both."
