Josh Hawley would see any Black woman as a 'hard woke left' choice for Supreme Court

A Black woman — any Black woman — nominated to fill Stephen Breyer’s seat on the U.S. Supreme Court will be “someone who is the beneficiary” of an affirmative action “quota,” according to Mississippi Republican Roger Wicker.

Sen. Wicker, who is the beneficiary of the father who preceded him as a lawyer and politician in their home state, seems to think that no Black female nominee could possibly have the qualifications that beneficiaries of earlier quotas — “100% for us sound about right, Binky?” “Roger that, Roger” — were just assumed to have inherited, along with Dad’s club membership.

Is he really saying that if you’ve made it to the short list as a Black woman, that could only be because some historically disadvantaged white gentlemen were somehow shoved aside? Pshhht.

Naturally, our own Josh Hawley couldn’t resist biting off a piece of this outrage, pretending that Joe Biden’s 2020 campaign promise to put the first Black woman on the court was in no way akin to Ronald Reagan’s 1980 campaign promise to put the first woman there.
