Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) conceded on Sunday that Republicans were being hypocritical on their push to confirm Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett before the election, insisting that whatever party is in power will do what they think is right.
With Republicans rushing to get the Supreme Court seat left open by liberal icon Ruth Bader Ginsburgs death filled just weeks ahead of the November election, the GOP has faced backlash and charges of hypocrisy for citing the 2016 election as the reason they held up Merrick Garlands nomination.
Interviewing Kennedy on Fux Noise Sunday, guest host Brit Hume brought up the Garland situation, noting that Senate Majority leader Mitch McConnell said at the time that the American people should have a say in the court pick since it was during an election year.
Now it seems that the roles are reversed, Hume stated. The president has made a nomination. It is an election year, indeed it is very close to the election and you and the other Republicans are prepared to move forward with this, which is distinct, obviously, from the course you took just four years or so ago. Youre being accused of hypocrisy and double standards. How do you answer?

(7,715 posts)I've really lost respect for institutions of higher learning when I see some of the high profile trash they turn out like this guy.
As I've previously noted, he reminds me of Mr. Haney from Green Acres, except that Mr. Haney is far more charming, smarter, and more honest than "Senator" Kennedy (the name alone enrages me when I think about our beloved JFK and RFK who did so much more for this country and its people in their tragically short lives than these monsters).
Anyway, this bit of Mr. Haney will cheer anyone up!:
