It’s virtually like the Republicans who smeared Jackson solely cared about finishing up their baseless assaults, after which as soon as the hit job was achieved, that they had no real interest in doing their jobs as members of the Senate Judiciary Committee and sticking round to listen to the details.
The ugly assaults on Decide Jackson have been led by a few Senators with 2024 ambitions (Cruz and Cotton) and one other who desperately desires to be president sometime (Josh Hawley).
The behavior of some of the Republicans on the Judiciary Committee was disgraceful, and it’s much more contemptible that they lacked the decency to point out up and listen to the consultants ship the details to counter the three days of lies that they beforehand placed on show.
