A Twitter user on Monday shared a photo of McConnell signing the shirt, which included Garland's face as well as his nomination date and the date at which his nomination expired.

The shirt also includes the quote, "gone but not forgotten." A smiling McConnell is pictured standing next to the Twitter user who shared the photo.

It is unclear when and where McConnell signed the shirt. McConnell's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Hill.

The photos serve as the latest example of McConnell joking about former President Obama's 2016 nomination of Garland for the Supreme Court. The nomination was ultimately delayed by McConnell, with the GOP senator arguing that a justice shouldn't be confirmed during an election year.

The GOP leader also appeared to troll Democratic lawmakers after the Supreme Court upheld Trump's travel ban last year. At the time, McConnell shared a photo of him greeting conservative Justice Neil Gorsuch, who was nominated to the bench shortly after Trump's election.
