Lamar Alexander openly hopes Supreme Court battle will distract voters from 200,000 COVID-19 deaths

Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-TN) is openly hoping that a big fight over a Supreme Court nominee could distract voters from the 200,000-plus Americans who have died from the novel coronavirus on President Donald Trump's watch.

In an interview with The New York Times, Alexander said that the Supreme Court battle is the party's best chance to make the 2020 election about something other than Trump and the coronavirus pandemic.

"Either the election can be about Trump, or about COVID or about the Supreme Court," Alexander explained. "And, I think, of those three, if it's about the Supreme Court, that traditionally has helped Republicans more."

To that end, Republicans are hoping that angry Democrats launch scathing personal attacks against the eventual nominee and will turn the entire hearing into a political circus similar to the one that occurred two years ago during confirmation hearings of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

Oh, they'll get all weepy over a clump of cells but people? Actual breathing, living people? They don't give a fuck about.
