'Hashtags ready ... ATTACK!' Team Obama launches Twitter account to promote SCOTUS nominee

The AP is reporting that President Obama will nominate Merrick Garland to fill the vacant seat on the Supreme Court.

The White House got a jump on Obama’s Rose Garden announcement today by launching yet another Twitter account. This one is intended to pressure the GOP-controlled Senate into voting on Obama’s nominee:

"Today, I will announce the person whom I believe is eminently qualified to sit on the Supreme Court." —@POTUS: https://t.co/utX9DUPsyf

Filling a #SCOTUS vacancy is not a political prerogative—it is a basic function and fundamental obligation. pic.twitter.com/wHRNpQ2ZlE

We’re sure the info the White House shares on @SCOTUSnom will be at least as confidence-inspiring and accurate as that from @TheIranDeal.

@mikememoli @SCOTUSnom best way to communicate with their ignorant base…"DERP…Rs are racist…DERP…blocking or something…DERP!"
