Later this afternoon, President Trump will announce his pick to fill the vacant Supreme Court seat, and many outlets are reporting Judge Amy Coney Barrett will be nominated.
The Federalist’s Mollie Hemingway knows what’s in store from the Democrats:
The courage it takes someone to accept a Supreme Court nomination from President Trump, knowing what the media and other partisans will do in an attempt to destroy you, your life, your family … is just staggering to contemplate.

But MSNBC’s Chris Hayes apparently didn’t watch the Dem circus during the Kavanaugh hearings, and fired back this way:
The key to conservatism is a combination of power with a viscerally felt sense of persecution. It’s the engine of the whole thing. It’s why Trump is a perfect avatar. We will hear *endlessly* about how persecuted conservatives are as they seize a 6-3 majority on the court. https://t.co/PbbQI6QDc1

Hemingway isn’t having any of that:
It is not just that the media and other people on the left did what they did to try to destroy Kavanaugh’s life, family, and reputation, it’s also that they refuse any accountability for it and claim you’re imagining it happened. https://t.co/lU1Y2w5P4K

Progressive self-awareness is difficult to come by:
You ran stories about a literal choir boy being the ring leader in a high school gang rape. https://t.co/3mnshl4T7o

Gaslighting on top of other gaslighting.

Gaslighting overload! And “seize”?
Also, "seize," as in confirm through the proper constitutional process.

“Seize”: otherwise and heretofore known as “constitutionally appoint and confirm.”
Quit being so hysterical. https://t.co/ALcemQeUHV

Sadly we’re just now seeing the tip of the “hysteria” iceberg… again.
Heh.. 1) let's just trash Kavanaugh's family & his life 2) oops, our bad 3) let's move on to the next target
You are despicable.— Colorado RedTraci (@goptraci) September 26, 2020
Ok, let’s see how you feel about being called a gang rapist by half of America. https://t.co/xAqBUNh9dw

When Republicans do what the Constitution allows them to do, they are “seizing” things.

Wrong, numbnuts.
The key to conservatism is conservation of the U.S. Constitution’s principles as written.https://t.co/SOgp2KObV3

The key to liberalism is otherizing opponents & never directly addressing issues. Change the terms of debate/discussion by hopping from topic to topic without directly responding, referring in the 3rd person. When do you think Chris last spoke with a conservative in real life? https://t.co/arcRoBSAdi

The left cannot accurately describe the right.
Universal truth. https://t.co/eVlyidDCSJ

If progressives like Hayes want to know why they’re not more successful politically, they should at least consider the fact that they refuse to allow themselves to honestly assess their opponents.
