Filmmaker and liberal activist Michael Moore said Democrats should pursue a government shutdown to deter GOP lawmakers from trying to vote on a Supreme Court nominee following Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s death.
“This is the one time I think we’re going to shut it down,” Moore said Sunday on MSNBC’s Weekends With Alex Witt. “If they’ve told us they’re going to spend these six weeks before the election, trying to rush through somebody that the American people is not going to want to have on the Supreme Court, then we have to take their money away from them. The Democrats must hold up the continuing resolution and shut down that government that is going to give us a Supreme Court justice that the majority of Americans are clearly going to say on Nov. 3, that they don’t want.”
