WASHINGTON, D.C. - U.S. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) delivered the following remarks today on the Senate floor regarding judicial nominations:

"The Senate is about to leave Washington for the August state work period. When we come back, Senate Democrats will face a daunting list of radical judges that the Biden-Harris Administration will want them to confirm.

"There's Adeel Mangi and his record of bumping elbows with terrorist apologists and advocates for cop-killers.

"There's Kevin Ritz and Karla Campbell, both the nepotistic beneficiaries of corrupt bargains between the Biden-Harris Administration and the judges they would replace.

"There's Julia Lipez, another nepotism hire, who has distinguished herself in her leniency towards a parent who killed their baby with fentanyl.

"There's Embry Kidd, who went soft on sex abusers and then misled the Judiciary Committee about it.

"There's Ryan Park, the self-described 'tip of the spear' of progressive activism, who fought hard to let colleges discriminate illegally against Asian applicants.

"There's Sparkle Sooknanan, whose nomination Congresswoman Velezquez called 'an insult to the people of Puerto Rico.'

"And then there's Mustafa Kasubhai, who's advocated incorporating Marxist theory into property law.

"So as our Democratic colleagues head out of town, I would suggest that they consider whether the radical goals of the Biden-Harris judicial project are worth it."
