Tucker Carlson condemned for Ketanji Brown Jackson 'Rwanda' comments

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The nomination of Ketanji Brown Jackson is an attempt to “defile” the supreme court and “humiliate and degrade” the US, the Fox News anchor Tucker Carlson claimed on Friday night.

If confirmed, Jackson, whose nomination was announced by Joe Biden earlier on Friday, will be the first Black woman on the court.

Carlson said Jackson was nominated “because of how she looks”. He said: “Do you want to live in that country? Most people don’t, of all colors. They think you should be elevated in America based on what you do, on the choices not on how you were born, not on your DNA, because that’s Rwanda.”

One columnist called his comments “the perfect distillation of white supremacy”.

They're not even hiding it.

1. How would you like to have "that" for a father.

[malaise]

4. He still hasn't gotten his mommy deserting them

He's a despicable racist

5. Problem is, that's where a lot of kids learn their racism--from their parents.

Or relatives & community in general. Like Denis Leary once said, "My kid's two. Know what he hates? Naps! End of story." Hopefully Carlson's kids will be an exception, but usually the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

2. I wonder...

how Tucker rationalizes his comments against the fact that 108 out of the 115 SCOTUS judges have been white males. That statistic kind points out choices based on appearance. Along with millions of other Americans, I expect that KBJ will be able to demonstrate her qualifications quite well and President Biden won't have to apologize for his nomination. Tucker needs to remember that elections do have consequences.

7. I know.

I actually looked up the number of years the SC had gone without a woman once, and thought how satisfying it would be if the Court was all women for the equivalent number of 200+ years (can't remember the exact number offhand).

11. It would have been between 191 and 192 years.

Sandra Day O'connor was named in 1981 and the court dates from 1789

3. Tuckyo Rose Says Whut? nt

6. There has been 115 Supreme Court justices in our history

It seems that it is time that 6+% of our population gets some representation. Given the crap that black women have had to go through in US history - it is about time.

This coming from a 58 year old white male.

8. Harvard Law Review, clerking for a Supreme Court judge, ample federal court experience.

That's how Ketanji Brown Jackson looks to me, Tucker Carlson. You filthy, entitled, racist piece of shit.

[SheilaAnn]

9. What shocks me is they have no problem with a black MALE SC judge..?????

[Retrograde]

10. Only because he's a reliable conservative vote

or should I say, reactionary vote. Plus, he kept his mouth shut during most of his tenure on the court, letting Scalia speak for him.

[Hekate]

13. He was nominated as a direct insult to the memory of the great man whose seat he filled

If you look at him that way, the presence of Clarence and Ginni Thomas makes sense.

12. I saw that McConnell referred to her as "radical left". This is an orchestrated campaign to

try and force Biden to withdraw her nomination.

14. They are despicable
