9:18Now PlayingRemember Merrick Garland? Remember how Neil Gorsuch took the Supreme Court seat Garland was supposed to take? Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian, the hosts of The Young Turks, tell you what happened behind the scenes. Tell us what you think in the comment section below. Support getting money out of politics
"Tax records revealed in a new report showed that a Virginia-based non-profit organization gave millions to a group that took out ads urging GOP Senators to keep Merrick Garland out of the Supreme Court and put Neil Gorsuch in. Last year alone, The Wellspring Committee gave $23 million to the Judicial Crisis Network, which in turn spent $7 million on materials opposing Garland. After President Donald Trump was elected, JCN spent another $10 million in pro-Gorsuch ads.
Last year was a big year for Wellspring, as they raised more than twice as much money than in any previous year. This is largely thanks to one anonymous donor who gave $28.5 million, according to records obtained by MapLight, a non-profit that aims to expose the influence of money on politics. This accounts for nearly all of the $32 million Wellspring received that year, dwarfing the $13.2 million that had been their annual high until then."
