Hollywood actress Ione Skye is urging people to pressure Republican senators to delay the vote on Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s successor until after the next presidential inauguration in 2021. The Say Anything star shared a video of herself calling Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA) to demand that she refuse to approve any Supreme Court nominee.
Ione Skye encouraged people to flood the phone lines of other moderate Republican senators, including Susan Collins (R-ME), Cory Gardner (R-CO), Mitt Romney (R-UT), Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), and Chuck Grassley (R-IA). She also provided a telephone script for callers to use.
“I am going to be calling these senators every day until enough of them have refused to approve any supreme court nominees until after the next presidential inauguration. If you’re not doing this already please join me,” she tweeted Sunday.
