Sen. Kamala Harris called the GOP-run Senate Judiciary Committee “reckless” for gathering more than 50 people in the same room for Amy Coney Barrett’s Supreme Court confirmation hearings “while our nation is facing a deadly airborne virus”
Sen. Kamala Harris , the Democrats’ vice presidential nominee, delivered her opening remarks remotely from her Senate office after some brief technical difficulties.
She called the Republican-run Senate Judiciary Committee “reckless” for gathering more than 50 people in the same room for Judge Barrett’s confirmation hearings “while our nation is facing a deadly airborne virus.” The hearing should have been postponed, she said. Republicans’ decision to hold the hearing now “places this facility’s workers, janitorial staff and congressional aides and Capitol Police at risk,” she said.
Ms. Harris also accused Republicans, who failed to repeal the Affordable Care Act in Congress, of trying to defy the will of the people by trying to take away their health care through the courts.
