DEMS ASSUME TRUMP WILL LOSE NOVEMBER 3rd...WHAT ARROGANCE!

That's why the DNC Press, and Dems in congress are running stories saying that Trump won't leave the White House peacefully if he loses.

Stories like this one from the NYT: Trump Refuses to Commit to Peaceful Transfer of Power After Election

Quote: "President Trump said on Wednesday that “we’re going to have to see what happens” when asked about peacefully transitioning power if he loses the election in November."

Editorial Note: Besides the news story from the New York Times, making the arrogant assumption of Trump losing on November, before any of the votes are counted, our congressional delegate Sen. Patty Murray issued the following statement, about filling the seat on the Supreme Court, apparently expecting that Joe Biden will be president! A nightmare waiting to happen if that's the case!

 

Senator Murray on SCOTUS: Republicans Must Let Next President Fill Vacancy, Health Care and Workers’ Rights “Hang in the Balance”.

Press release issued 9/23/20

(Washington, D.C.) –Today, in a speech on the Senate floor, U.S. Senator Patty Murray (D-WA), ranking member of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions, urged her Republican colleagues to let Americans make their voices heard on Election Day and allow the next President to fill Justice Ginsburg’s vacancy on the Supreme Court.

“The next President should choose Justice Ginsburg’s replacement, as she wished—to spare our democracy the painful chaos of making such a decision so close to an election. People are speaking out—and the Senate must listen, as Majority Leader McConnell insisted only a few years ago,” said Senator Murray.

In her remarks, Senator Murray stressed that if Republicans allow President Trump to install another hard-right Supreme Court nominee, millions of people’s health care, protections for pre-existing condition, workers’ rights, and more will be at risk. Senator Murray also condemned Senate Republican’s singular focus on packing the courts with right-wing judges and urged them to finally prioritize the American people over their partisan agenda.

“But unfortunately, it seems like my colleagues on the other side are content to ignore these cries, just like they’ve neglected the cries of our constituents for a COVID relief package that meets this moment instead of short-changing communities. Because nothing—nothing—is more important than pushing through their ideological agenda,” continued Senator Murray.
