Top Republicans skip Ruth Bader Ginsburg's memorial service at Capitol

Mitch McConnell among top Republicans skipping Ruth Bader Ginsburg's memorial service at Capitol

The Republican leaders of the House and Senate, Mitch McConnell and Kevin McCarthy are skipping a service at the Capitol for the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi spoke briefly during the short service under the Capitol rotunda, expressing her wish that the liberal icon “rest In peace” after a military honor guard slowly and deliberately carried a casket with Ms Ginsburg inside to the platform on which President Abraham Lincoln’s casket once rested.

They're too busy planning how to screw us next.

If you’re from out of state and you attack someone in D.C., I would think the FBI or federal authorities should investigate how he got there, who’s paying for it. I can tell you Black Lives Matter is supporting these folks and that we shouldn’t shy away from attributing blame where blame goes.”

Prediction: GOP Investigation Of Hunter Biden Will Be As Successful As The GOP Investigation Of Benghazi
Republicans senators have finished an investigation that President Donald Trump was impeached for pursuing.
