Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) called out Senate Democrats and the media for “discriminating” against Supreme Court nominee Judge Amy Coney Barrett and for suggesting that she would let her religious beliefs override her oath to defend the Constitution of the United States.

McConnell said Democrats, bolstered by liberal media outlets, have been attacking Barrett for her faith, instead of focusing on Barrett’s record as a judge.
