Biden Spreads Fiction That GOP Viciously Abused KBJ
8 Apr 2022
CLAY: Ketanji Brown Jackson was officially introduced a little bit over an hour ago at the White House, and as part of the introduction, Joe Biden continued to spread the fiction that what happened to Judge Jackson in the Senate Judiciary Committee was somehow wildly inappropriate and unfair. Here is Joe Biden talking about all of the vile accusations that she had to handle.
.@POTUS: “I knew the person I nominated would be put through a painful and difficult confirmation process. […] What Judge Jackson was put through was well beyond that. It was verbal abuse, the anger, constant interruptions, the most vile, baseless assertions and accusations.” pic.twitter.com/AQYId6PSxC

BUCK: Give me a Fauci-ing break. You gotta be kidding me, man. That’s outrageous. It was worse than abuse? Clay, they accused Brett Kavanaugh of being a serial gang rapist 30 years ago with not weak evidence, zero evidence. And the only reason this backfired is enough people figured out, “If they can do this to Kavanaugh, they’ll do it to your dad, they’ll do it to your brother, they’ll do it to anyone if it is within their power needs.” It’s just… Who can watch this? Like the legal analysts at CNN are, “Oh, it’s so hard what KBJ went through.” They asked about her decisions! Some of her decisions really didn’t look so good.
CLAY: Questionable.
BUCK: Really questionable — and they asked her what a woman is. No one said that she’s a horrible person or a rapist or anything. Sorry. I just drives me insane.
CLAY: You’re a hundred percent right. I mean, they called Judge Kavanaugh a serial rapist in front of his two young daughters and his wife. They quizzed him on specific lying from his high school yearbook, Buck. Whatever you think about questions that that were asked of Judge Jackson, they all 100% had something to do with her overall jurisprudence.
The idea that you could compare the two in any way is a complete fiction, and honestly if you look at what happened with Amy Coney Barrett, it was more difficult than what happened to Judge Jackson. They tried to turn into Amy Coney Barrett into… What’s the show with Elisabeth Moss, where they all walk around, they have no —
BUCK: Oh, oh, The Handmaid’s Tale.
CLAY: The Handmaid’s Tale.
BUCK: Have you seen it? I haven’t.
CLAY: I haven’t either. I heard it’s good. But they tried to turn her into The Handmaid’s Tale as if she were some total, crazy zealot. If anything, I thought KBJ got held to a relatively relaxed standard all dealing directly with her jurisprudence as a judge.
BUCK: As we know, being a woman who is brilliant, attractive, accomplished, happily married with many kids makes you a zealot.
CLAY: Yes.
BUCK: Makes you a zealot. That’s what the left thinks.
CLAY: No doubt.
