President Obama nominated Merrick Garland to the Supreme Court on March 16, 2016, but McConnell said it was too close to the election in November which was over six months away before *rump would go on to lose, and then instigate an attack against the U.S. Government the following January.

On the other hand Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg died on September 18, 2020, about six weeks before the 2020 election and McConnell didn't have a problem in rushing 1st term "rump's last minute choice for SC.

They're just emotionally stunted racists.

Thanks for the thread Rhiannon
