BREAKING NEWS – New York City, New York – MSNBC host Joy Reid claimed, without any evidence, that Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., was planning to pack the U.S. Supreme Court with conservative justices if Republicans regained control of the Senate.
Reid referred to McConnell’s alleged plan as “wickedness in high places,” meaning he was “evil,” and argued that he was using the Supreme Court to taunt Democrats by making it “explicitly clear” he would never again confirm a Democratic appointed nominee for the court.
“What McConnell is doing is undemocratic. The Bible might even call it wickedness in high places, AKA evil,” Reid said after playing a clip of McConnell’s radio interview. “What he’s also doing is glibly taunting Democrats, daring them to do something, anything. More than likely because of McConnell, the democrats will do nothing. He must have something on the democrats, because despite all of the promises democrats ever make to black communities before an election, they rarely deliver a thing, and I believe somehow, someway, it’s all McConnell’s fault.”
