It’s Black History Month, which means it’s time for all the liberals to run to the mainstream media and show everyone how inclusive they are.
However, that’s definitely not the case, and most of the dems just use the holiday as a way of (word for looking better on social media/good pr), without actually getting their facts right.
The perfect example of that is Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s most recent blunder last week, where he made false claims about the racial makeup of the Supreme Court.
In an attempt to fluff Biden’s feathers, Schumer praised his pledge to nominate a black woman to the Supreme Court as “historic”.
“Until 1981, this powerful body, the Supreme Court, was all White men. Imagine. America wasn’t all White men in 1981, or ever,” Schumer said. “Under President Biden and this Senate majority, we’re taking historic steps to make the courts look more like the country they serve by confirming highly qualified, diverse nominees.”

But, if Schumer had actually done some proper research before he made dramatic claims, then he would have realized that he skipped over the late Justice Thurgood Marshall, who was appointed in 1967 by President Lyndon B. Johnson.
Marshall was a member of the court’s liberal wing and served for nearly 25 years before his retirement in 1991.
And as if it couldn’t get any more embarrassing for the dems, he later turned to Twitter to apologize for his mistake, saying that he merely “misspoke”…
His tweet reads, “Of course, I remember the dedication and legal excellence that Thurgood Marshall brought to the Supreme Court.”
Seems like an excuse to me, and just a cover-up of his ignorance in a poor attempt to save Bidens already poor reputation.
