To be clear, I didn’t think it was necessarily incorrect, just that he probably had some reason to avoid including a link, such as not wanting to mention that the quote dates to 2008. More power to the poster in question if he feels he’s got some material to prop up the thread. Let’s do it properly, is all I’m sayin’. ---

Schumer opposed Trump judicial nominee Marvin Quattlebaum because of the color of his skin. The Dem’s leader in the Senate is apparently is a throwback to the Democrats of the segregation era.

You don’t need to copy Tucker Carlson’s tweet. [CNN’s take](https://www.cnn.com/2018/03/02/politics/schumer-south-carolina-district-judge-nominee/index.html) is that Schumer is pissed that his two previous non-white nominees got blocked, so he voted against Quattlebaum, who passed by 41 votes anyway. Another political pissing contest. ---

And Schumer said: “It was saying that I thought this nominee was not very a good nominee to begin with.” So you believe the Republican who claims the decision was made for race reasons, even though the person who made the decision explicitly says it wasn’t. OK, I guess. ---

> [@burrunderthe\_saddle](#): > > Not surprisingly, you are attributing words from Shumer not Graham Appropriately, since your original post was about Schumer’s character and reasons. Why would you take someone else’s word for it and not listen to his own? Is it simply a lie if you didn’t hear it from Hannity? > [@](#): > > “I judge nominees on the content of their character, not the color of their skin,” Graham said Thursday. “Chuck Schumer should do the same.” Did that apply during the last administration, for the nominees put forward for this position? Obviously not - that’s the problem Schumer was pointing out. > [@](#): > > Wanna try again? When you get fooled by one of your Fake News sources, it’s usually best to acknowledge it and learn for the future, not try to bluster your way out of it. You have much to learn. ---

Would coherent sentences be too much to ask for? ETA: Also - the SRIOTD thread is cranking out multiple spectacular examples by elected officials and national media personalities every week. And you’re posting about something Sheryl Crow said over ten years ago. I think that says all you need to know about how much “both sides do it”. ---
