WATCH: The View host says Jackson criticism smears ‘qualifications of black women’

“But Whoopi, let’s not pretend we don’t know what this is about, right?” she said. “You know what bus is always on time? The one that indicts the determinations of the qualifications for black women in this country.”

Host Whoopi Goldberg nodded in agreement with the notion of racism-fueled criticism.

Host Ana Navarro added that Jackson would need to keep her cool because “who she is, is not going to get away with the crying meltdown that Kavanaugh did.”

She further questioned whether Hawley has the “moral standing” to question Jackson’s rulings or discuss the Constitution because of his promotion of “the big lie” and the “insurrection.”

Goldberg characterized his research as trying to “derail” her nomination to the court.

“I know they’re going to make it difficult and find dumb stuff,” she added.

The group also blasted Hawley’s criticism of Jackson’s defense of Guantanamo Bay detainees, claiming she had to because it’s “the law.”

“It is literally the law. If you are detained, we must provide you with a lawyer to make sure you’re not being railroaded. That’s the law. All you got to do is look it up,” said Goldberg, who seemed unaware of the practice’s extension into Jackson’s private career.

According to reports, after her time as a public defender, Jackson continued to defend Guantanamo Bay detainees in her private-sector career.

Hawley described her defense of detainees in private practice as “very aggressive representation.”

“What type of lawyer takes that kind of case? I’ll tell you what kind. The kind that loves this country. The kind that believes in freedom and justice and liberty for all,” Williams said.

Golberg also mistakenly said Jackson would be the first black Supreme Court justice, despite sitting Justice Clarence Thomas, who is a black man.

The hosts went on to criticize “the last three people they put in” — referring to Justices Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett — claiming “[Jackson] is a woman who can … outshine each and every one of those people.”

“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,” Goldberg said.

“She’s overqualified. Let me go on record saying that, she’s overqualified,” Williams said. “And I want to say this, based off of the fact that this will be one of the only Supreme Court justices … who will be confirmed by bipartisan nature.”

On Wednesday, Hawley said he would “for sure” be questioning the nominee on her history of lenient sentences for sex offenders, describing them as “below the government’s recommendations.”

“She’s had 10 that I’ve seen that we’ve found and I haven’t found a single case where she’s sentenced — for child porn offenders — where she’s sentenced with the guidelines,” Hawley said in a tweet.

Hawley’s thread of tweets cited several examples of the trend, which he said “endangers our children.”

“This is a disturbing record for any judge, but especially one nominated to the highest court in the land. Protecting the most vulnerable shouldn’t be up for debate. Sending child predators to jail shouldn’t be controversial,” he said.

White House spokesman Andrew Bates claimed Hawley “cherry-picked elements of her record out of context.”

Press secretary Jen Psaki said Thursday that “in the vast majority of cases involving child sex crimes, the sentences Judge Jackson imposed were consistent with or above what the government or U.S. probation recommended.”

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Dick Durbin also slammed the claims as “outrageous.”
