GOP Senator, thy name is hypocrite.

 

This is why Trump--and maybe McConnell--will lose the fight over the Court seat. It's one thing to say you're not going to honor Justice Ginsburg's dying wish. It's another thing, as Trump does here, to accuse RBG's granddaughter, Clara Spera, of lying about her grandmother.
