Elizabeth Warren Blames Gorsuch Nomination On ‘Corporations’

When Justice Scalia died, giant corporations & their right-wing buddies spent millions to keep the SCOTUS seat open for @realDonaldTrump.

Judge Gorsuch has a long, detailed record that shows he cares more about corporations than women, workers, consumers, & families. #WeObject

Let’s be clear: @realDonaldTrump just admitted that he peddled fake conspiracy theories to attack the integrity of @POTUS.

@elizabethforma @realDonaldTrump you mean the corporations that spent over a billion $s trying to elect Hillary Clinton. Those corporations?

@elizabethforma @realDonaldTrump but Pocahontas, you said President Trump would never win. Why would they keep it open for Hillary?

@elizabethforma @realDonaldTrump Or you could say that the US Constitution allowed for the seat to stay open. Even justice Ruth Ginsburg said it was a non issue.

@elizabethforma Really? Which corporations? Which “buddies”? Name names. Provide proof. Don’t just throw a rock and run. More fake news.

The critics are correct; the Constitution indeed permitted the GOP Senate to hold up nominating a justice to the court; Trump was not expected to win, and most importantly, Clinton received heavy support from the heads of many corporations, as delineated here.

Perhaps Warren is thinking that peddling wild conspiracy theories will gain her the Democratic nomination in 2020.

Here’s hoping she’s right.
