The second-ranking Senate Democrat on Wednesday accused Republicans of putting the president's attorney general nominee "in the back of the bus" by delaying her confirmation.

Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois made the comment on the Senate floor as he criticized the GOP over its handling of Loretta Lynch's nomination. She would become the nation's first black female attorney general, replacing Eric Holder, the first African-American in the job.

War on women, racism, killing old people and children, ... second verse, same as the first.

[US Navy Vet]

B!TCH should be UNDER the BUS!

[baltimorepoet]

She would become the nation's first black female attorney general

So is that a two-fer?

If she turns out to be a lesbian, is that a three-fer?

[Resolute Conservative]

She can sit next to Riddick.

[manc]

race card and woman card all rolled into one, how frigging surprising.

She should be disqualified based just on her immigration answer. She is just another social justice , female version of Holder who cars little about the law and justice, but instead more with social justice.

Loretta Lynch wants to put the USA at the back of the bus or under the bus.

[Enten]

Race card! Race card! Race card! Wolf! Wolf! Wolf!

[mulligan]

This person should not even be on the bus. She is worthless.

[Secret Agent Man]

same old playbook.

republicans don’t learn.

[DBrow]

So Holder is the first African-American but Lynch would be the first black? The editor take the day off?

[Snickering Hound]

Or put her on the short bus.

[OpusatFR]

Someone needs to post an expired race card.

[boycott]

Democrats: “ if you don’t approve of everything we want, it’s about race.”

It is mostly about race but they are using the homo card a lot lately too.

[GilesB]

Which Republican smacked Durbin across the face and told him to shut his trap with his vile, race-baiting, vile imagery of a disgusting period in dem history?

[smokingfrog]

It’s difficult to imagine a worse candidate to replace Holder.

[BradtotheBone]

Why wait? Hold a vote and reject her immediately.

[PoloSec]

Responding to the race card is a lose lose, if they put her in; then after criticizing anything she does they will just turn the race card over again, the deck is stacked, all the cards have the same picture on both sides, choose a card any card, you lose.

flattened..

She can sit anywhere, she just can’t drive
