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

Don’t be like Dick.
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.
— Drew Holden (@DrewHolden360) September 19, 2020
Thanks once again, Drew, for doing the hard work for us.
Heh.
Seriously, this guy’s Twitter timeline kicks SO MUCH a*s.
