Mitch McConnell, Republican Senate Majority Leader as usual came up with an excuse that denying President Obama Supreme Court nominee Merrick Garland a hearing and vote was justified. Other ditto head republicans in congress picked up the fake news and tried their own lies and excuses to defend the position they created themselves in 2016.
The news media carried their sorry excuse as if it was justified. They completely ignored the republican record of dirty tricks. They forgot to mention that it was Mitch McConnell who said in public when President Obama was first elected President he and his party wanted to make Obama a one term President and would not support any of his policies. In other words, Obama was a democrat and that is why he would not support his administration. It is the same reason McConnell would not advance Obama's Supreme Court nominee, simply because it was a democratic President who nominated him. McConnell used the election year as an excuse and his actions on Trump's nominee is proof.
The general news media is frozen when it comes to answering the republicans lies, fake news and hypocritical actions. They feel they have no responsibility to report the republicans dis-information and propaganda. Yet, it is the news media that floods the news cycle every day with Trump and the republicans rhetoric. And Mitch McConnell is the ultimate un-American person serving in congress. And he demonstrates it every day.
