What’ll happen if the Senate Republicans don’t let President Obama have his way when it comes to replacing Antonin Scalia on the Supreme Court? CNN’s political analyst John King offered a prediction:
CNN's John King: Obama Will Call Republicans Racist if They Filibuster SCOTUS Nominee https://t.co/wpZpco565J VIDEO pic.twitter.com/89R1rh9Sj2

Obama will remind audiences “that Republicans blocked him because he’s the first African-American president and they didn’t give it to him because of his race,” according to King.
Anybody surprised by that prediction?
Maybe he's bluffing https://t.co/UIeoeUe9Kf

But some were appalled that such a prediction would be made:
@JohnKingCNN This is a lie and you need to apologize now. The President has NEVER done this. @PressSec @vj44 https://t.co/2vx563AAYB
