Moscow Mitch: Biden shouldn't "outsource" Supreme Court nominee "to the radical left"

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell on Thursday urged President Biden "not to outsource" his nominee to succeed Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer "to the radical left."

What he's saying: "Looking ahead — the American people elected a Senate that is evenly split at 50-50. To the degree that President Biden received a mandate, it was to govern from the middle, steward our institutions, and unite America," McConnell said in a statement.

7. It's the usual slur that Biden's a puppet of LW extremists

who've taken over the party. Pure nonsense for stupid and malicious people. The only extremists being placed on the high court are far-right agents of the Republican leaders and those they serve.

Of course.

The nonsense is that there's a huge gulf between the liberal Democrats who make up the vast majority of our 80M voters, and our entire leadership, and the mercifully far smaller fringe of ANTI- liberal, anti-establishment LW radicals and populists referred to by McConnell. The kind who envy the trumpists' progress toward stealing Democratic elections, some of whom have joined them to make it happen.
