This week’s Liberal Media Scream features how the Left has a simple word to hit critics of President Joe Biden’s first Supreme Court pick, Ketanji Brown Jackson: racist.
On Sunday’s media panels and last Friday’s The View on ABC, liberals declared the rookie federal appeals court judge so qualified that she is perfect. Thus, questioning her can only be racist, they said.
We’re featuring The View here and criticism of the first black woman nominated to the high court by Republicans such as Sen. Josh Hawley.
Co-star Whoopie Goldberg called Jackson “outstanding” and better than the three white judges former President Donald Trump nominated. Guest host Eboni Williams went straight to racism when she said, “You know what bus is always on time? The one that indicts the determinations of the qualifications of black women in this country. And so that bus is never late.”
Goldberg agreed: “That’s what’s scary to them. And it’s like, if you say you want the brightest, the greatest that we have, she’s a perfect representation of that.”
From Friday’s The View on ABC:
WHOOPI GOLDBERG: 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.
EBONI WILLIAMS: Very literally.
GOLDBERG: 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?
WILLIAMS: But Whoopi, let’s not pretend we don’t know what this is about. You know what bus is always on time? The one that indicts the determinations of the qualifications of black women in this country. And so that bus is never late.
GOLDBERG: It’s never late.
WILLIAMS: It’s never late. And I want to say this: Based off the fact that this will be one of the only Supreme Court justices — to your point of that example of the last three we got — who will be confirmed by bipartisan nature — I’m sorry, already has been at the appellate level by the United States Senate, she’s overqualified. Let me go on record in saying that. She’s overqualified.
GOLDBERG: That’s what’s scary to them. And it’s like, if you say you want the brightest, the greatest that we have, she’s a perfect representation of that.
WILLIAMS: Yes.
Brent Baker, vice president of research and publications for the Media Research Center, explains our weekly pick: “How tired of an argument. Instead of addressing the substance of the criticism, or simply accepting that some will have a less upbeat interpretation of a nominee’s judicial record, Goldberg and Williams jump directly to dismissing the criticism as prompted by racism. Is it ever possible to criticize an African American and not be called racist by someone in the media?”
Rating: FOUR out of FIVE SCREAMS.
