McConnell rips 'fake news' media for misleading public on Biden's court-packing push
Fox News
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., accused the press of failing to accurately cover President Biden's take on expanding the Supreme Court.
He argued that the media have done a disservice by oftentimes failing to note in their reporting that liberal Justices Stephen Breyer and the late Ruth Bader Ginsburg believed the court should stay at nine judges. "And yet I read story after story after story that do not mention that Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Stephen Breyer, two of the most important liberals in modern time, are opposed to court-packing," McConnell said. "Nine seems to be a good number. It's been that way for a long time," Ginsburg said in a July 2019 interview. "I think it was a bad idea when President Franklin Roosevelt tried to pack the court."More Related News
