[See NewsBusters for more.] After playing footage of an annoyed Mitch McConnell on the Senate floor denouncing the treatment of Brett Kavanaugh, CNN Newsroom host Brooke Baldwin on Monday allowed viewers to know what she’s REALLY concerned with: Merrick Garland. Rather than start with Kavanaugh or the accusations, Baldwin spat: “Mitch McConnell, the Senate Republican leader, just decided to lecture Democrats for their actions involving a Supreme Court nominee.” She derided the Senate Majority Leader as “the same Mitch McConnell who would not give Obama's — the person Obama wanted to be on his Supreme Court, Merrick Garland, a hearing, right? That's pretty rich.”
