NextImg:Rachel Maddow Exposes Trump's Hypocritical, 'Absurd' Demand Of Dems: ‘It’s Nuts, Right?’
LOADINGERROR LOADING

MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow on Monday hammered Donald Trump’s hypocrisy when it comes to one particular demand the president-elect has made of his successor-turned-predecessor, outgoing President Joe Biden.

Trump insisted in a post on his Truth Social platform that “no Judges should be approved” until he’s back in the Oval Office “because the Democrats are looking to ram through their Judges as the Republicans fight over Leadership.”

“As an assertion, that’s nuts, right?” asked Maddow.

“You’re not president now, my guy, and Republicans don’t control the Senate right now. So you and Republicans have no control,” she continued. “You have no say over whether or not Biden and the Democrats choose to pass more confirmations before you take power. You don’t get a say in that. You’re not in power yet.”

Republicans confirmed “at least 32 people” after Trump lost the 2020 election to Biden and Biden became the president, Maddow noted.

“The idea that it would be somehow improper now for the Democrats to do the same thing, for the Democrats to spend this next two and a half months confirming Biden nominees including judges, to say that there is something wrong with that […] it’s just an absurd suggestion,” she said.

It’s “absurd bluster from Trump, where he is trying to pretend he’s already in power,” Maddow added.
