As the hearing for Judge Brett Kavanaugh gets underway this morning, Sleepin’ Joe Donnelly is still waiting for Chuck Schumer’s permission to listen to Hoosiers and announce he’s voting yes.
Schumer and Washington Democrats have been clear about their strategy on Judge Kavanaugh. Red state Democrats like Sleepin’ Joe were instructed to “Keep your powder dry. Don’t commit. Stay as neutral as you can, as long as you can,” while their liberal colleagues tried their hardest to derail Judge Kavanaugh’s nomination. And Sleepin’ Joe has been a loyal soldier, refusing to announce his support for the eminently qualified judge.
With Democrats feigning outrage and disrupting Judge Kavanaugh’s hearing this morning, it’s time for Sleepin’ Joe to get off the fence and stop playing along with Schumer’s political games.
