Bernie Sanders Contradicted Himself on Holding SCOTUS Nomination Hearings…In The Same Day
4:35PM – June 27, 2018
We should listen to what Sen. McConnell said in 2016. President Trump should not nominate, and the Senate should not confirm, a Supreme Court justice until the American people have had the opportunity to make their voices heard in November. https://t.co/JjyEavC3O3

CHRIS HAYES: “And first, let me start with your reaction to the announcement of the retirement of Anthony Kennedy. Do you think Democrats should even consider the nominee or should you pledge to vote no now?”
SEN. BERNIE SANDERS: “Well, I don’t think you vote no before you know who the nominee is. But I suspect the nominee will be just another right-wing disaster. And our job is to mobilize the American people who overwhelmingly, among other things, do not believe that we should overturn Roe v. Wade, who believe that our gay brothers and sisters are entitled to be treated with dignity. And all of those rights and all of the advances that we have made over the years are now increasingly in danger. Because while Kennedy was certainly not a liberal or progressive in any sense of the word, on some issues he was decent and voted to protect human rights.”
