Politician
Sept. 29, 2020
Tweet - "Multiple times, with multiple nominees, Senate Democrats have said or implied that certain personal religious beliefs make Americans unfit to serve. Judge Barrett in 2017 was only one example. Now the media's joining in. These tactics need to stop now."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Sept. 29, 2020
Tweet - "I had the opportunity to meet with Judge Barrett earlier today. President Trump has nominated exactly the kind of outstanding person whom the American people deserve to have on their highest Court."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Sept. 26, 2020

McConnell on "Fox News at Night with Shannon Bream'
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Sept. 24, 2020
Tweet - "We don't know which legal all-star the President will nominate on Saturday. So isn't it curious that everyone already knows exactly what smears and scare tactics the far left will trot out? Their playbook has not changed for 45 years. The nominee is irrelevant to their attacks."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Sept. 24, 2020
Tweet - "The far left called John Paul Stevens anti-woman. They said Anthony Kennedy would turn back the clock. David Souter was going to hurt "women, minorities, dissenters, & other groups" from the bench. Anyone doubt the same old smears will be rearing their heads starting Saturday?"
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Sept. 24, 2020
Tweet - "Tune in: I'm about to join @ShannonBream @foxnewsnight for my first interview on the Supreme Court vacancy. The Senate will do what we did in 2016: Follow history, follow precedent, and do the job we were elected to do."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Sept. 22, 2020
Tweet - "Rewarding Democrats' tactics now would not stop their attacks on our institutions. Their threats predate this new vacancy by over a year. Their recklessness only underscores the importance that we do our job and confirm a nominee who truly respects the Constitution."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Sept. 22, 2020
Tweet - "Our Senate majority will do exactly the same thing in 2020 that we did in 2016: Follow Senate history, follow the clear precedent in each situation, and do exactly the job we were elected to do. We are going to vote on President Trump's nominee to the Supreme Court this year."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Sept. 22, 2020
Tweet - "Democrats are threatening to attack the foundations of the Senate and the Court if they do not get their way. Here's the problem with this attempted blackmail: They have already been making these threats for many months. They've been campaigning on them for over a year."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Sept. 21, 2020
Tweet - "Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was a generational legal giant and a trailblazing champion for American women. The Senate is grieving with the nation, praying for her family, and remembering her historic legacy. My full Senate floor remarks:"

Sen. Mitch McConnell
July 20, 2020
Tweet - "Our country can't afford a second epidemic of frivolous lawsuits while we fight the COVID-19 pandemic. The next relief package should focus on four things: Jobs, healthcare, kids in school, and liability protections for those helping us fight the coronavirus."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
July 13, 2020
Tweet - "Any future COVID relief package needs to be measured, with a focus on getting kids back in school safely, workers back on the job, and delivering liability protections for individuals related to the coronavirus crisis."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
July 7, 2020
Tweet - "We can't get our country back to normal unless we have kids in school. That's what a future COVID relief would focus on, along with jobs, healthcare, and liability protections."

Sen. Mitch McConnell
May 28, 2020

It's Time To Examine Our Dependence On China
Rep. Jamie Comer
May 20, 2020
Tweet - "You can't make this up: During a global crisis, House Democrats are arguing that the acquittal of President Trump did not actually end their impeachment. They would rather spend another year trying to cram politics into the legal system than help the Senate govern the country."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
May 15, 2020
Tweet - "Forget about this $3 trillion left-wing wish list that even House Democrats are criticizing. Republicans are focused on practical solutions like legal liability protections for medical workers and the schools, universities, and businesses that will be trying to re-open."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
May 12, 2020
Tweet - "More than two-thirds of independent business owners say they are worried about a legal liability minefield getting in the way of re-opening. The Senate majority is not going to stand idly by and let trial lawyers vacuum up relief money & redirect it into their own pockets."
Sen. Mitch McConnell

Rep. Andy Barr
May 7, 2020
