Tucker: Black SCOTUS Noms Should Think Like Rappers, And I Can't Make This Headline Sound Less Awful

Tucker Carlson Argues Black SCOTUS Noms Should Think Like Rappers, And I Can’t Make This Headline Sound Less Awful

Fox News host Tucker Carlson wants to know: If Supreme Court Justice nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson really represents Black women, then why doesn’t she think like a street rapper?

After the Senate finished its first day of questioning in Jackson’s confirmation hearings on Tuesday, Carlson complained on his show that the nominee’s views “really seem like those of every affluent white liberal I’ve ever met.”

“If you want a Black candidate – I’m serious, I think the country would get better representation from…,” the Fox News host trailed off before saying, “She’s just a carbon copy of everyone in the neighborhood I spent my life in,” referring to La Jolla in San Diego.

Then Carlson threw in an extra helping of racism when his guest, right-wing commentator Clay Travis, claimed that Democrats were angling for “cosmetic diversity” with Jackson’s nomination.

That's been clear for a very long time. Oh, and he hates women, too.

No one in my family thinks like a street rapper. I can't imagine being able to relate to anyone who did. Spoken Word artists, yes. Street rappers, no. He probably doesn't know the difference.

Or, she's not the kind of black person who would be considered authentically black based on his own racism toward black people.

He dismisses their experiences of struggle and success as women of color, conflating it with a dismissal of their approach to public service as liberal tripe.

He is a heinous bigot and the MSM needs to shiv that muther fucker.
