The misleading right wing media cartoon comment sections are full of maga people claiming that to not appoint a white person is racist. They claim that saying the court should be as diverse as the country means putting someone not qualified to be on the bench. They just assume and push that a black woman can not be a good Justice, and they don’t see how racist they are. A good portion want Biden impeached due to anti-white racism. What a clueless rabid bunch.
Republicans are having racist conniption fits over President Joe Biden’s pledge to nominate a black woman to fill the vacancy left on the Supreme Court by Justice Stephen Breyer’s retirement. They’re trying to mask their opposition to Biden’s promise by claiming it’s about choosing the most qualified person to sit on the highest court in the land, no matter what their race or sex may be.
Really? No.
Before Ronald Reagan was elected in 1980, he promised during his campaign that if he got a nomination to the Supreme Court, his first would be a woman. When a vacancy did come up in his first year, he kept his promise and nominated Sandra Day O’Connor. Reagan got three justices on the court, but he made four nominations. The three that made it, O’Connor, Antonin Scalia, and Anthony Kennedy, each got over 97 votes. Trump’s three steals barely got 50 each.
