Both former President Bill Clinton and former first lady Hillary Clinton criticized the idea of trying to nominate a judge to the Supreme Court before the November election after Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s death.

“Well, of course, it’s superficially hypocritical call, isn’t it? I mean Mitch McConnell wouldn’t give President Obama’s nominee, Merrick Garland, a hearing 10 months before the presidential election. And that meant we went a long time with eight judges on the court,” the former president told CNN on Sunday.
