The top Senate Republican is dismissing demands for Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas to resign or recuse himself from certain cases as a “coordinated effort to nullify” his presence on the nation’s highest court.
During a speech on the Senate floor Wednesday, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said, “The left’s quest to delegitimize the Supreme Court found its latest outlet. This time, it’s a coordinated effort to nullify the presence of Justice Clarence Thomas on the Court.”
“The far left wants another crack at what they tried and failed to do way back in 1991. Washington Democrats are now trying to bully this exemplary judge of 30 plus years out of an entire legal subject, or off the court altogether. Far-left House members are talking about dusting off their party’s impeachment addiction for a third consecutive year,” he continued.
Finally, McConnell said, “Make no mistake, this performative outrage is not in earnest. This is a political hit, part of liberals’ years-long quest to delegitimize the court all because our laws and Constitution occasionally inconvenience the Democrats’ radical agenda.”
