On Monday’s New Day, CNN anchor John Berman repeatedly accused Republicans of "hypocrisy" when it came to filling the seat of late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg during an election year: “... is it hypocritical of Republicans to do this? The answer is, yeah!” However, the partisan host conveniently ignored the blatant hypocrisy of Democrats.

Both Berman and his co-host Alisyn Camerota did the work of the Democratic Party as they gleefully discussed the differing statements made by the Republicans four years ago as compared to now. Of course they completely ignored how the Democrats, including nominee Joe Biden and the late Justice Ginsburg herself, demanded President Obama be allowed to fill the Supreme Court vacancy left by the death of Justice Antonin Scalia in 2016, a presidential election year.
