THAT FOUR REPUBLICAN SENATORS
SAID THEY WON'T VOTE UNTIL
AFTER THE ELECTION.
OUR VERIFY TEAM IS DIVING INTO
WHAT THEY WILL DO.
>>> THE VIRAL CLAIM LOOKS LIKE
THIS, FOUR REPUBLICAN SENATORS
NOW ON BOARD, NO VOTE UNTIL
JANUARY ON SUPREME COURT THEN
LISTS SENATORS LISA MURKOWSKI,
MITT ROMNEY, TRAN20 41, AND
CHUCK GRASSLEY.
CHUCK GRASSLEY. IT WOULD TAKE AT LEAST FOUR
REPUBLICAN SENATORS VOTING
AGAINST THEIR PARTY TO STOP A
NOMINEE FROM BEING CONFIRMED.
THIS CLAIM TAKES IT SEEM LIKE A
DONE DEAL, BUT IT IS NOT QUITE
THAT SIMPLE.
THAT SIMPLE. LET US START WITH ALASKA
SENATOR LISA MURKOWSKI.
SHE PUT OUT THIS STATEMENT
THINK SHE DOES NOT SUPPORT
TAKING UP A POTENTIAL SUPREME
COURT VACANCY THIS CLOSE TO THE
ELECTION, ADDING THAT SHE HAD
THE SAME STANCE WHEN IT CAME TO
FILLING THE SEAT IN 2016, AND
THAT THE SAME STANDARD MUST
APPLY.
APPLY.
APPLY. SHE IS AGAINST HAVING A VOTE,
BUT HAS NOT SAID WHAT SHE WOULD
DO IF ONE HAPPENS ANYWAY.
NEXT, UTAH SENATOR MITT ROMNEY.
HE RELEASED A STATEMENT OF
CONDOLENCES AFTER THE DEATH,
BUT THAT IS IT.
TO GET A POLITICIAN CLAIMED HE
WOULD NOT CONFIRM A NOMINEE,
BUT HIS COMMUNICATIONS DIRECTOR
SAID THIS CLAIM IS FALSE.
HE HAS NOT SAID WHAT HE WILL DO
AT THIS POINT.
NEXT, MAINE SENATOR SUSAN
COLLINS.
COLLINS.
COLLINS. SHE PUT OUT THIS DATE MEANT,
SAYING SHE DOESN'T BELIEVE THE
SENATE SHOULD VOTE ON THE
NOMINEE PRIOR TO THE ELECTION,
AND THAT THE NOMINEE SHOULD BE
PICKED BY THE PRESIDENCY WAS
ELECTED ON NOVEMBER 3rd.
SHE IS AGAINST HAVING THE PHONE
RIGHT NOW, BUT HAS NOT SAID
WHAT SHE WILL DO IF ONE IS
STILL HELD.
STILL HELD. FINALLY, IOWA SENATOR CHUCK
GRASSLEY.
GRASSLEY.
GRASSLEY. HE SHOULD CONDOLENCES AFTER THE
DEATH, AND LATER RELEASED A
STATEMENT AFFIRMING THAT HE
BELIEVES THE REPUBLICAN PARTY
AND PRESIDENT TRUMP ARE WITHIN
THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS TO
FILL THE SEAT.
ALSO OF THESE SENATORS ARE
AGAINST HOLDING A VOTE, NONE OF
THEM HAS SAID WHAT THEY WILL DO
IF A VOTE IS HELD FOR THE
ELECTION OR INAUGURATION.
RIGHT NOW, THIS CLAIM IS FALSE.
>>> WITH CHUCK GRASSLEY, PEOPLE
BRING HIM UP, BECAUSE HE SAID
IN THE PAST THAT HE WILL NOT
NOMINATE, YOU KNOW, A SUPREME
COURT JUSTICE, BUT HERE WE ARE
NOW, AND WE WILL SEE WHAT
HAPPENS.
