Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said the mounting Democrat calls to expand the number of seats on the Supreme Court following the confirmation of Justice Amy Coney Barrett are nothing new and called them the “same old threats and intimidation by the hard left.”

“They’ve been threatening to pack the court [since] before the [Amy Coney] Barrett nomination came along [and] before Justice [Ruth Bader] Ginsburg passed away,” McConnell told Fox News in an interview on Monday. “These are long-standing threats.”
