Mitch McConnell among top Republicans skipping Ruth Bader Ginsburg's memorial service at Capitol
The Republican leaders of the House and Senate, Mitch McConnell and Kevin McCarthy are skipping a service at the Capitol for the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi spoke briefly during the short service under the Capitol rotunda, expressing her wish that the liberal icon “rest In peace” after a military honor guard slowly and deliberately carried a casket with Ms Ginsburg inside to the platform on which President Abraham Lincoln’s casket once rested.
The military members gently placed the casket on the stand as their footfalls echoed under the high dome.
The senior-most GOP lawmaker who was in attendance was House Majority Leader Steve Scalise.
