Republicans Mitch McConnell, Kevin McCarthy Skip Ruth Bader Ginsburg Ceremony Despite Invites

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Absent from the lie in state ceremony at the U.S Capitol for Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg—the first woman in U.S. history to receive such an honor—were two top congressional Republicans: Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.).

The men were invited, according to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's deputy chief of staff, Drew Hammill. However, they did not attend, per congressional pool reports.

McConnell spokesperson Doug Andres told Newsweek in an email that they had "no guidance or announcements on his schedule." McCarthy's office did not respond to a request for comment.

It is rare for members of the Big Four—the top leaders in both chambers—to miss such historic and significant ceremonies at the Capitol, particularly for those who lie in state.
