Nobody is more at the top of his game when putting together ‘life comes at you fast’ threads than Drew Holden. We knew there were a TON of tweets out there from Democrats, media, and blue-checks demanding McConnell fill SCOTUS in 2016 who are not demanding he LEAVE IT VACANT but wow.
Hell, they even had a cute little hashtag, #WeNeedNine.
?Thread?
You had to know this was a coming. Four short years ago, countless Dems, media folks & bluechecks were telling you #WeNeedNine on the Supreme Court.
Yet now, as we head into an election that’ll surely be contested their convictions have evaporated.
It’s a long list.

This is insane BUT it’s the Left … so … yeah.
To kick it off, we’ll start with none other than the man who led the #WeNeedNine push, @BarackObama.
Is it no longer “irresponsible” to not consider a SCOTUS nominee before one is even announced, Mr. President? pic.twitter.com/sTgDCqFV1Z

Do your job.
That’s hilarious coming from Obama.
And what say you, @HillaryClinton? If @realDonaldTrump announces his nominee, will you agree that he has “met his responsibility” as well? And that the Senate should do the same? pic.twitter.com/HODjSGk7ts

Shocker, Hillary is talking out both sides of that horrid, puffy, stuff-of-nightmares face.
What changed, @SenSchumer? pic.twitter.com/Dg95IazZFT

Orange man.
That’s it.
Wouldn’t your advice set up a “constitutional crisis”, @JoeBiden? You said so yourself. pic.twitter.com/MJ4p6RBQZG

Joe doesn’t know what year it is, let alone what it means for us to face a constitutional crisis.
And how about you, @ChrisMurphyCT? When did you stop thinking that #DoYourJob meant meeting with a SCOTUS nominee? pic.twitter.com/LUUrSWDfuH

Probably sometime when he was meeting secretly with Iran.
Oops, we said the quiet part out loud again.
Our bad.
What say you, @SenBlumenthal do you no longer think that #WeNeedNine, even with an election on the horizon? pic.twitter.com/BHAeucnWLk

Here’s @maziehirono with more of the same. pic.twitter.com/dD8IycqxvE

After what they pulled with Kavanaugh? They can all have a nice, refreshing glass of STFU juice.
Quote the change in tune from @SenatorLeahy. pic.twitter.com/A2k59Dbq32

Who?
Heh.
And of course, countless organizations jumped into the mix. Here’s @NARAL, who are also no longer concerned about obstruction or the need for nine justices. pic.twitter.com/NOHFb1BKXh

NARAL.
Meh.
Ditto that for @CAPAction. Go figure. pic.twitter.com/vZi5zFPefm

Fight for progress UNLESS it’s progress we disagree with.
Or something.
Apparently we don’t need mine anymore, to hear @civilrightsorg tell it. pic.twitter.com/JYm80TSF0V

Our brain is starting to sting a little.
You?
Maybe it’s just me, but the media’s tune sure looks a little different, too.
But I’ll let you be the judge. This from @CNN. pic.twitter.com/1Ky678UYJa

CNN.
‘Nuff said.
What would I do without @voxdotcom pic.twitter.com/iQY63bIS71

We’d have one less outlet to make fun of … fair point.
@MSNBC is not working particularly hard to hide the bias here.
Something tells me any Dem opposition to a Trump nominee will be a “blockade” pic.twitter.com/vk6xQd4CDw

Because no one expects much from MSNBC.

Obligatory @kurteichenwald mention. pic.twitter.com/KOBbr4bnMh

Hey man, at least there was no mention of tentacles this time.
Side note: We’re shocked Kurt hasn’t blocked Drew.
And yes. I’ll surely need to do a lot more of these threads – and I’m going back through statements from Republicans, too – but wanted to get a jump on collecting the troves and troves of hypocrisy on display.

Thanks once again, Drew, for doing the hard work for us.
Heh.
Seriously, this guy’s Twitter timeline kicks SO MUCH a*s.
