These protests stem from McConnell’s vow to work with Preisdent Donald Trump, as previously reported by 100%FedUp.
After the passing of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, many politicians on both sides honored her legacy. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell paid his respects in an official statement released by his office on Twitter.
The Senate and the nation mourn the passing of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and the conclusion of her extraordinary American life.

In the other half of his statement, he comments on the vacancy of a justice in the Supreme Court.
Since the 1880s, no Senate has confirmed an opposite-party president’s Supreme Court nominee in a presidential election year…
We pledged to work with President Trump and support his agenda. Particularly his outstanding appointments to the federal judiciary…
President Trump’s nominee WILL receive a vote on the floor of the United States Senate
