You Know How They Said the SCOTUS Nominee Was Moderate? They Lied
April 13, 2016
Merrick Garland is being pushed by the administration and the media as a moderate candidate, in fact, as the most moderate we could ever expect from a Democrat president. If that’s the case, then we must never again elect a Democrat because Merrick Garland is radical left on the environment, business, guns, and labor.
When they say he is moderate, they must mean he’s not a communist. We are being lied to constantly.
The National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) examined Garland’s nearly two decades of service on the federal bench and found that the judge is typically against business and biased toward regulatory agencies, the Free Beacon reported.
