Trump, without evidence, accuses Democrats of fabricating Ginsburg's dying wish
Source: Politico
President Donald Trump on Monday cast doubt on the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburgs dying wish that her vacancy on the court be filled by the winner of November's presidential election, accusing Democratic leaders without evidence of fabricating the statement Ginsburgs granddaughter provided to POLITICO.
Clara Spera, Ginsburg's granddaughter and a fellow at the American Civil Liberties Union, told POLITICO that shortly before her death Friday evening, the justice declared that my most fervent wish is that I will not be replaced until a new president is installed. But Trump suggested on Monday that the former associate justice's wish may have been the creation of Congressional Democrats, an allegation for which he offered no justification or proof.
I don't know that she said that, or was that written out by Adam Schiff, and Schumer and Pelosi, Trump said in an interview on Fox & Friends, referring to the chair of the House Intelligence Committee, the Senate minority leader and the House speaker.
I would be more inclined to the second, ok you know that came out of the wind, it sounds so beautiful. But that sounds like a Schumer deal or maybe a Pelosi or shifty Schiff, he said, adding later: I mean, maybe she did and maybe she didn't.

I want that motherfucker to die of a massive heart attack ON CAMERA, used to want it to happen on the toilet in the residence but I have changed my mind - I want to watch him die and have it on tape for future reference when I might be feeling down.

When it's his time, I can only hope that they don't find a way to keep his bloated, animated corpse alive like they did with Cheney.
