MSNBC host Chris Hayes smeared Republican senators with accusations of racism on Wednesday.
"The hearings for Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, the first Black woman ever nominated to the Supreme Court in over 200 years of this country’s history, [have] been stomach-churning," he said."We knew going in that her race and gender would be an issue for some Republicans. But I have to say, I have been taken aback by the facially racist nature of much of the questioning Judge Jackson faced. And I say racist because there is no other way to accurately describe it.
"And the only reason I could determine is that it plays into the assumption that a Black person is inherently associated with criminality in some way, which is, of course, racist - one of the oldest, most pernicious and dangerous racist tropes in America," he said. Hayes reported that Jackson was asked"multiple times" to disavow critical race theory and the 1619 Project and framed those ideologies as the"views of other Black public intellectuals- just other people [who] also happen to be Black who have ideas about the country."WASHINGTON, DC - MARCH 24: U.S. Supreme Court nominee Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson arrives to the office of Sen. Michael Bennet for meeting on March 24, 2022 in Washington, DC.
