GOP stands up to Dems

Mon., April 10, 2017

Duplicity thou art a Democrat! All the crying by the Democrats (and pseudo-Republican John McCain) about how use of the nuclear option to confirm Judge Gorsuch is wrong and loudly shouts out “hypocrisy!” It was just fine when Harry Reid did it, but now, with the shoe on the other foot, it’s a “tragic affront to common sense.”

The real “tragic affront to common sense” is that the Democrats thought that they could “Bork” Judge Gorsuch, but surprisingly, the Republicans are finally standing up to them, and giving them a taste of their own medicine.
