Fox News
In the video posted Thursday, Jones – who co-sponsored the legislation aiming to increase the number of Supreme Court justices – claimed in his tweet that American “democracy is in crisis” and that the solution to “save it” is to pack the court.
"This crisis didn’t arrive overnight or by accident," Jones said in the video that showed images of the deadly Jan. 6 Capitol riots. "The Supreme Court helped bring us here. In fact, the court has been actively dismantling our democracy for years." Jones claimed that the court "invited a torrent of dark money to flood our electoral process and set the stage for billionaires and special interests to control our politics."More Related News
