[See NewsBusters for more.] The partisan journalists at MSNBC proved they have no problem flip flopping when it comes to filibustering and the nuclear option. As the Republicans were voting to change the Senate rules, Thursday, and confirm Neil Gorsuch, MSNBC blamed Donald Trump. Andrea Mitchell lectured, “This is another history-making moment which another White House might have been able to avoid, perhaps with better leadership.” Mitchell even brought up Ronald Reagan’s chief of staffs as a way of avoiding culpability for the Democrats: “They knew enough to speak to someone on the hill. They would not have gone to the Heritage Foundation for a recommendation list for Supreme Court nominees. They would have talked to a Judiciary Committee, Democrats and Republicans.”
