The shamelessness of liberal politicians and journalists is displayed by their unique outrage at the treatment of Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson, as if everyone forgot the smearing of Brett Kavanaugh with unsubstantiated sexual allegations, including teenaged gang rape.
The Washington Post editorial board was roundly roasted for claiming “Republicans boast they have not pulled a Kavanaugh. In fact, they’ve treated Ketanji Brown Jackson worse.”
Leftist celebrity activists like George Takei ranted at Senator Tom Cotton for suggesting Judge Jackson would have defended the Nazis at Nuremberg (like she defended the terrorist suspects at Guantanamo, even after her public-defender days). Democrats can disparage that, since leftists rarely defend Nazis at trial, and there weren’t a lot of black female lawyers in the 1940s. But it cannot be compared to the nightmare of being smeared as a gang rapist.
