After President Donald Trump nominated Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court, Democrats began suggesting a potential Joe Biden administration engage in “court packing,” a historical term referring to President Franklin Roosevelt’s failed attempt to increase the number of judges on the Supreme Court.
To combat these allegations and get the heat off of them, Democrats began claiming that Republicans were currently packing the court, changing the definition and gaslighting Americans along the way. As The Daily Wire’s Frank Camp wrote in October, Montana Senate candidate Steve Bullock claimed during a debate against Sen. Steve Daines (R-MT) that Republicans were packing the court. Biden himself made a similar statement around the same time, saying, “The only court packing is going on right now—it’s going on with Republicans packing the court now.”
