Fox News Video Of Mitch McConnell Bragging And Laughing About Blocking Obama's Court Nominations Is Pure Supervillain

Fox News Video Of Mitch McConnell Bragging And Laughing About Blocking Obama's Court Nominations Is Pure Supervillain
Fox News

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) prides himself on using his power to obstruct any and all Democratic initiatives in the Senate—even blocking former President Barack Obama's constitutional right to appoint a vacant Supreme Court seat.

McConnell famously blocked consideration of Judge Merrick Garland to the Supreme Court for over a year, paving the way for now-Justice Neil Gorsuch after President Donald Trump's 2016 victory.


McConnell, who calls himself the Grim Reaper for his eagerness to let bills passed by the House die in the Senate, appeared on far-Right Fox News host Sean Hannity's show to brag about this.

Watch below.

After McConnell called the blocking of Garland the most important career move of his life, Hannity said he was shocked that Obama left so many judicial vacancies empty across the nation.

McConnell accurately said:

"I'll tell you why. I was in charge of what we did the last two years of the Obama investigation."

Trump often touts the historic number of judicial appointments he's had confirmed in his tenure of office, citing the empty judicial seats left by Obama as a testament to his strength in contrast with Obama's so-called weakness.

In reality, McConnell blocked a huge amount of Obama's judges from even being considered by the Senate. He's done the same with hundreds of bills put through by the Democratic House of Representatives, despite Republicans claiming the House hasn't achieved anything in its so-called obsession with impeachment.

His shameless partisanship demonstrated in the Hannity interview has earned him quite the reputation.







There is hope: you can donate to McConnell's 2020 challenger, former Marine fighter pilot Amy McGrath here.

Trump Sparks Concern After Repeatedly Confusing Alaska With Russia Ahead Of Putin Meeting

President Donald Trump turned heads on Monday after he repeatedly claimed he's going to "Russia" on Friday—very openly confusing the country with the state of Alaska, the actual location where he plans to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin for a highly anticipated summit.

Trump made the mix-up during a press conference about crime in Washington, D.C., where he has already moved to federalize the police and deploy the National Guard, citing inflated crime statistics that compared D.C. to Baghdad and Brasilia.

JB Pritzker Explains Exactly Why Trump Is Pushing His GOP Allies To Redistrict—And He's Spot On

Speaking on NBC's Meet the Press, Illinois Governor JB Pritzker perfectly explained why President Donald Trump is pushing for gerrymandered redistricting in Republican-led states amid pushback from Democrats in Texas.

Redistricting has been all over the news cycle in the days since Texas Democrats fled the state to avoid voting on a new heavily-gerrymandered redistricting map and to deny their GOP colleagues a quorum, the minimum number of lawmakers required to conduct legislative business.

MSNBC Fact-Checks Trump In Real Time As He Blatantly Lies About Crime Rates In DC

President Donald Trump is facing criticism after he was fact-checked by MSNBC in real time as he lied about crime statistics while announcing his decision to federalize police in Washington, D.C., and deploy the National Guard in an effort to fight crime.

Trump's announcement is a significant escalation of his previous attacks on the nation's capital, which he has repeatedly referred to as "crime-infested." He claimed in his remarks to the press that D.C. is “one of the most dangerous cities anywhere in the world,” a claim at odds with Justice Department data showing that the city’s crime rate hit a 30-year low last year.
