McConnell pushed Trump to nominate Barrett on the night of Ginsburg's death: report

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Josh Holmes, former chief of staff to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), said in a new documentary that the Republican leader urged President Trump to nominate Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court on the night Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg died.

Holmes, who previously served as chief of staff to McConnell from 2010 to 2013, made the comments in a new "Frontline" documentary premiering Tuesday. The project, dubbed “Supreme Revenge: Battle for the Court,” will look at how the nation’s highest court has transformed over the years.

According to an excerpt from the documentary, McConnell contacted Trump shortly after Ginsburg’s death on Friday, Sept. 18.

“McConnell told [Trump] two things,” Holmes said. “McConnell said, 'First, I’m going to put out a statement that says we’re going to fill the vacancy.' Second, he said, 'You’ve gotta nominate Amy Coney Barrett.'”

1. Eat shit and die, McConnell

12. He

needs to suffer as he is doing to every American now. Even in his own state people are suffering. He is our next biggest threat.

We need to help the state Georgia in whatever way we can, get Ossof and Warnock elected. Flip the Senate to us.
