On 16 February 2016, the entertainment web site Free Wood Post published a fake news article which reported that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell would only approve a Supreme Court justice who was white, Christian, conservative, and male: The above-quoted story is a work of fiction. Free Wood Post is an entertainment web site that does not publish factual stories: While Mitch McConnell did not say that he would only approve a Supreme Court Justice who was white, male, conservative and Christian, he did release a statement shortly after Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia's passing, stating that Scalia's replacement should be nominated after the 2016 Presidential election: However, Senator McConnell made no recommendations about what gender, ethnicity, or religion he felt that Justice Scalia's replacement should be.
