Lawrence O'Donnell indicated that all Senate Republicans walked out of the Senate Chamber...

[LiberalFighter]

except for Mitt Romney.

They are the party of hate and racism.

[msongs]

1. read earlier that Murkowski also applauded along w/Romney nt

[LiberalFighter]

3. I would had thought the three would had stayed.

In a way I hope it turns out they did.

[rickford66]

4. I think Murkowski was on the Dem side applauding

[elleng]

2. Yes, looked/felt like civil war to me.

[Botany]

5. Republicans don't care about blacks because they have been and still are working 24/7 to keep them..

... from voting.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

6. Throw Tim Scott in the mix then.

I am sure he will not like the association racist ilk like that.

[halfulglas]

11. Scott always goes with his party.

If he had any pride at all he would have voted for Justice Jackson.

[malaise]

23. Yes but the Florida Senatores

We’re almost as disgraceful.
And then there’s Deathsentence

Gov. DeSantis opines on impending U.S. Supreme Court vacancy

Gov. Ron DeSantis, asked Friday about an impending nomination of a Black woman to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court, was unaware that one of the reported candidates has Florida roots, but hoped the nominee would show “a certain amount of humility.”

Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson has served on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit since last year, and was born in Washington, but grew up in Miami and attended Miami Palmetto Senior High School before heading to Harvard College and Harvard Law School.

25. Why should a woman have to show "a certain amount of humility"? Oh, wait.

Never mind.

deathsentence might want to try it some time.

[malaise]

31. Amazing indeed

Deplorable and despicable in any order

[niyad]

26. Why should a woman have to show "a certain amount of humility"? Oh, wait.

Never mind.

deathsentence might want to try it some time.

[Thrill]

24. What's crazy about Scott is Romney really gave him cover

So why wouldn’t you vote for her? As the only Black Republican in the Senate, no way would I go on the record as voting against the first Black Woman Supreme Court Justice. Shameful, wrong side of history. I just don’t get his vote. Especially considering how qualified she is.

[Scottie Mom]

7. Hate, racism and scum.

Describes all of them except a very, very few.

[niyad]

10. and woman-hating.

[Scottie Mom]

18. Sad...the Repuke women hate women as much as the Repuke men do.

Witness Amy Coney Barrett.

[niyad]

27. Exactly. The self-loathing is strong with them.

[lastlib]

8. Well, of course, they had to diss the black woman.....

It's coded in their DNA.

[Cozmo]

9. All repukes should hand their heads in shame, yet they feel no shame

They've hung their hats on hate. I can't believe that this is what our people truly want from their government. At least, I hope not.

[Grins]

12. Susie "I'm very concerned" Collins, too...???? NM

[Onama Biden Man]

13. I completely disagree with Romney on policy

and would never vote for him, but he seems to be one of the last sane & decent Republicans. I appreciate his courage as he did the right thing even though this will cost him political capital.

[wryter2000]

16. He voted to remove Trump both times

He has my respect for that.

[yellowdogintexas]

20. Romney could probably be Senator For Life if he chooses

Utah will keep re-electing him. He can afford to do something sane and decent every now and then

[niyad]

28. Welcome to our DU family.

[Raine]

14. I can't remember Democrat's reaction when Kavanaugh

and Barrett were approved. 🤔

[calimary]

15. And rude. And disrespectful. And insulting!

I hope women voters and voters of color remember this, and vote accordingly.

[Cha]

17. I read here that Sen Murkowski

voted for Judge brown Jackson and Sen Collins.. did they walk out?

💙💛

[obamanut2012]

22. Murkowski stayed and applauded

[Cha]

32. Thank You!

💙💛

[ALBliberal]

[yellowdogintexas]

21. AYE nt

[CottonBear]

29. Did Collins walk out or stay and applaud? NT
