known as the “ Biden rule.”
Then when Biden was VP, he and Obama attempted to violate the Biden rule by nominating Garland. McConnell enforced the Biden rule, and he was attacked.
Then when Trump was president, he did exactly what Biden and Obama attempted to do by filling a vacancy late in the term. Biden was opposed
So Biden flip-flopped on the issue multiple times. It’s ok when democrats want to make a late term appointment, but wrong when republicans do it.
how is that not naked hypocrisy.

The "Biden Rule" is a rhetorical trick McConnell made up to justify his dirty pool on blocking Garland. Then he shamelessly flipped on it once Ginsberg died right before the election.
That's your hypocrisy.
