‘The View’ Throws Tantrum After Josh Hawley Questions Ketanji Brown Jackson’s Judicial Record

‘The View’ Throws Tantrum After Josh Hawley Questions Ketanji Brown Jackson’s Judicial Record

With Russia’s invasion of Ukraine taking center stage in American newsrooms over the last several weeks, the debate over President Biden’s nomination of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to replace retiring Justice Stephen Breyer on the Supreme Court has sort of been placed on the back burner.

But last week, the debate was revived after Republican Senators had the audacity to publicly take issue with Judge Jackson’s judicial record just days ahead of the beginning of her confirmation hearings, with Sen. Josh Hawley in particular taking to the Twitter machine to share his concerns:

Judge Jackson has a pattern of letting child porn offenders off the hook for their appalling crimes, both as a judge and as a policymaker. She’s been advocating for it since law school. This goes beyond “soft on crime.” I’m concerned that this a record that endangers our children

Judge Jackson has also questioned sending dangerous sex offenders to civil commitment. We have a civil commitment law in Missouri, and it protects children

— Josh Hawley (@HawleyMO) March 16, 2022

Judge Jackson has said that some people who possess child porn “are in this for either the collection, or the people who are loners and find status in their participation in the community.” What community would that be? The community of child exploiters? pic.twitter.com/JDxqf9Q1AH

You can read the full thread here.

Of course, Democrat apologist so-called “fact-checkers” in the media rushed to Judge Jackson’s defense in a way you will rarely if ever see them do in response to attacks from the left on Republican nominees to our nation’s highest court.

Meanwhile, the Usual Suspects on the radical left are already trotting out the “QAnon” card to deflect from the substance of the criticisms:

• Associated Press: Republicans twist Jackson’s judicial record
• WaPo: Josh Hawley’s misleading attack on Judge Jackson’s sentencing of child-porn offenders
• Joy Reid’s ReidOut Blog: Hawley channels QAnon with attack on Ketanji Brown Jackson
• Media Matters: Baseless OAN attack on [Jackson] echoes QAnon conspiracy theory

Naturally, Hawley’s tweets caught the attention of the ninnies co-hosts of ABC’s The View.

On their Friday program, guest co-host Eboni K. Williams (of RHONY infamy) trotted out the “raaaace” card, with fake Republican Ana Navarro advising Jackson to stay strong because she wouldn’t be able “to get away” with having a “crying meltdown” like Brett Kavanaugh did, and Whoopi Goldberg emphatically proclaiming Jackson to be “outstanding,”especially in comparison to Republican nominees like Amy Coney Barrett and Kavanaugh:

Bringing things back to Jackson, Williams suggested the only reason her record was being scrutinized was because of race. “But Whoopi, let’s not pretend we don’t know what this is about. You know what bus is always on time,” she rhetorically asked. “The one that indicts the determinations of the qualifications of black women in this country. And that bus is never late.”

“Just based on the people, the last three people they put in. You know, this is a woman who can — who can outshine each and every one of those people,” Goldberg added as she looked to direct their ire at the conservative justices. “Her abilities are outstanding. I mean, she’s outstanding. So, you put in Amy Coney Barrett, you put in the other one, you know, and you’re questioning her?”

Whoopi ridiculously dismisses the qualifications of Justices Gorsuch, Kavanaugh and claims Jackson can “outshine each and every one of those people.”
“Her abilities are outstanding. I mean, she’s outstanding … you’re questioning her?”
And again, questioning her is racist. pic.twitter.com/E9dx7ws9gy

Rumor has it the wahmbulance was on standby for this episode, but those reports are unconfirmed as of this writing.

But seriously, let me do my best in tackling the highlight (lowlight) reel here.

For starters, Jackson is unlikely to have a “crying meltdown” during her hearings because I’m pretty sure she’s not going to be accused of being a lifelong gang rapist. Though Hawley is accusing her of being sympathetic to sex predators, at least he’s using her judicial record and public statements and recommendations as a basis for it, not making inflammatory insinuations based on groundless accusations gleaned from discredited sources.

Secondly, maybe Eboni Williams should spend less time trying to play “QWEEN” on the programs she appears on and more time doing actual research on the history of black judicial nominees before she goes off half-cocked and looking like a fool. It was mind-numbing to see her talk about the “bus” that is “always on time” (talking about alleged GOP racism) without once acknowledging how then-Senator Joe Biden blocked the nominations of two high-profile black Republican nominees: Janice Rogers Brown and even more infamously Clarence Thomas.

That Ana Navarro didn’t step in to correct the record on this just reaffirms what a complete fraud and sellout she’s become.

And lastly, regarding what Goldberg said about Jackson’s record being “outstanding,” let’s not forget what she previously said about “Dr.” Jill Biden (who is not a medical doctor) in March 2020:

Then, shortly after the co-hosts began discussing potential running mates for the former vice president with ABC News correspondent Jon Karl, Goldberg began, “I’m hoping Dr. Jill becomes the surgeon general, his wife.”

“Joe Biden’s wife. She would never do it but, yeah, she’s a hell of a doctor. She’s an amazing doctor,” she went on, earning some scattered applause from the audience.

It goes without saying that we are not dealing with the sharpest tools in the shed when we’re talking about View co-hosts, who just two short months ago accused Justices Barrett and Thomas of being gender and race traitors respectively.

Here’s a bonus quote from Dick Durbin, second in command to Sen. Majority Leader Chuck Schumer:

Democratic senators who enthusiastically touted baseless rape allegations are now suddenly worried the other party isn’t “respectful” of their SCOTUS nominee. pic.twitter.com/j5ZuNcBGh0

Sure. It’s okay for the Democrats to go scorched earth on Republican nominees, but the Senate must be “respectful” of Democrat nominees. Get the hell outta here with this double standard BS.
