Governor Ron DeSantis slammed Senate Republicans this morning for not even bothering to show up to block a leftist judge from being appointed the 11th Circuit.

Yesterday, five Republicans didn’t show up to vote and because of that Embry J. Kidd’s nomination succeed by four votes. It could have been defeated if they had shown up, given that Manchin voted against the nomination.

Matt Whitlock wrote: “This nominee has written that laws against child rape are racist. He hid 2 previous decisions where he gave lenient sentences to child predators from the Senate. Now he has a lifetime judgeship– instead of a Trump nominee – because Republicans didn’t bother to show up.”

???? Governor DeSantis retweeted Whitlock and slammed Republicans for allowing this, saying “the people of FL, AL and GA will suffer the consequences”:

This leftist judge would have been voted down and the seat on the important 11th circuit would have been filled by Donald Trump next year had Republicans showed up.

Now, the leftist judge will have a lifetime appointment and the people of FL, AL and GA will suffer the consequences.
