Mitch McConnell: Push for Clarence Thomas to recuse himself is 'inappropriate'
The left's quest to delegitimize the Supreme Court found its latest outlet," McConnell said in remarks on the Senat floor. "This time it's a coordinated effort to nullify the presence of Justice Clarence Thomas on the Court."
McConnell went on to claim that the calls were part of a "tired old tactic" by Democrats to ask various justices to recuse themselves over "spurious accusations about fake ethical problems or partiality." "This new and inappropriate pressure campaign is just a continuation of this well-worn pattern," he added.
"It has no basis in Justice Thomas' decades of impeccable service on the court. The justice and the entire court should feel free to completely ignore all this."
