Democrats support nominee of stolen Supreme Court seat at their political peril (VIDEO)

The media is going goo-goo gaga over Donald Trump's nomination of Neil Gorsuch. They have already begun stacking the narrative against Democrats as they make it seem Democrats would be wrong to deny this qualified candidate.

Merrick Garland was a qualified centrist candidate. Neil Gorsuch is a Right Wing extremist based on his past. Most of America did not vote to elect such a candidate. Remember, Donald Trump lost the popular vote by three million votes and as such has no mandate. That reality alone demands a different type of Supreme Court Justice selection.

But most importantly, this Supreme Court Justice seat was stolen from the Democrats. We set a precedent by rewarding this despicable act. Here is my take that I am sure is the sentiment of millions going forward.
