Biden just upended his own White House’s narrative about the Judge Jackson hearings

UPDATE: This article has been updated to include comment from the White House on whether President Joe Biden watched the hearings last week.

President Joe Biden said Monday he did not “see any of” Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s confirmation hearings, despite the White House previously stating he had watched portions of it.

“I didn’t get a chance to see any of it,” Biden told reporters when asked if he had watched the hearings.

White House spokesman Chris Meagher said on March 22, the second day of the confirmation hearings, that Biden had watched portions of the proceedings and was impressed by her ability to strike down “conspiracy” theories about her background that Republicans brought up, Reuters reported.

“This is one of the most qualified nominees ever nominated for the Supreme Court, in every respect, in terms of her disposition, her intellectual capacity, her experience and background serving on three additional courts,” Biden said, defending Jackson against Republican criticisms. “Totally, thoroughly qualified.”

“He watched clips and read coverage, but not the hearing in full,” a White House official told the Daily Caller News Foundation in a statement.

Republicans criticized Jackson’s sentencing in child pornography cases Tuesday, arguing that she had been too lenient to sex offenders. Jackson said “nothing could be further from the truth,” and that a judge must consider various aspects of an offense and consider the victim’s perspective.

Jackson also defended her time representing Guantanamo Bay detainees, saying “federal public defenders don’t get to pick their clients.”

“She volunteered to continue that representation in private practice, which I think is interesting,” Republican Sen. Josh Hawley of Missouri said at the hearing. “And frankly, from my point of view, a little concerning. This isn’t just the filing of amicus briefs.”

The White House did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.

  2. No qualifications to be a Supreme Court Judge unless you feel that being a black woman is a qualification. If nominated, you can bet that child pornography will not be against the law and that the age of consent will no longer be a problem because it will be barred. This is starting to remind me of ancient Rome with it’s perversions, brutality, and elitism in the governments and church. We are a Constitutional Republic that was founded on the belief of God and morals and discipline to be a better edition of mankind. The demonrats have changed all that and we are becoming a sinful, greedy, detestable, and despised nation. I, for one don’t care for the road that the dems are leading us down. This is why the 2nd Amendment written. The founding fathers knew this may happen, because it is something that happened to them They were speaking from experience. Let’s not forget our history.

  3. She and Slo Joe are both racists. If she has a picogram of integrity she would denounce and decline the nomination. But alas she has NO integrity. Oh, she’s a SWAMP SCUM gubment “worker”.

  4. She said that Roe vs Wade is “settled law”. She should know that the SC does not legislate so it is NOT “law”. She also should know that precedent can and should be overturned when it is a bad ruling such as slavery was.

  5. This woman cannot even tell is what a woman is, How could she possibly be qualified to be on SCOTUS? FJB

  6. Lying seems to come naturally to him, and some of the other bidens, but this nominee is like all the rest of his. Qualifications not considered, just his diversity nonsense. I wonder if that is how she got into Harvard. Wasn’t Harvard the school that was sued fordiscriminationagainstAsians?

  7. KETANJI!!! Isn’t that what they yell when they throw a spear that actually hits the target?

  8. If what they mean by “Republican Criticisms” is when Republicans brought up actual elements of her record ~ The factual record of her “judgments” ~ and she was asked questions about those??? Is that what they are talking about. Laughable!

  9. You gotta love it; the loose cannon is sinking the ship. Mark my words; if the imbecile gets topped it will be by one of his own.
