On Wednesday, senators announced their final round of witnesses for Judge Ketanji Brown Jacksons confirmation hearing for the United States Supreme Court. One of the witnesses Republicans plan to call is on the leadership team of an anti-human trafficking group some have described as QAnon-adjacent.
The effort is part of an ongoing campaign to smear Jackson as a pedophile enabler because she sentenced people convicted of possessing child pornography to less than the maximum penalty. The White House characterized this line of attack as a signal to QAnon followers, specifically the conspiracy theorists fixation on pedophilia.
QAnon is a false belief that a powerful group of Satan-worshipping, cannibalistic pedophiles runs the world. Its hold on followersthe vast majority of whom are conservativesis so strong that its been likened to a collective delusion or a cult. Its followers have inspired numerous false sex trafficking panics based on unsubstantiated rumors.
Many were appalled Wednesday morning when Republican senators on the Senate Judiciary Committee announced they plan to call Alessandra Serano, chief legal officer of Operation Underground Railroad (OUR), to testify in Jacksons hearing.

Knowing how GQPs project, pretty obvious this is what Putin is holding over them.

According to that guy with the red ball on his nose and the orange fright wig sitting behind Sen. Graham's nameplate.

and this stunt will have major blowback...Cruz, Hawley, Graham, Cotton...not exactly the darlings of the Senate GOP..you can bet Mitch is cringing...if any semi responsible GOP senator is on the fence, once Cruz and his fellow assholes parade this Qreep, I suspect Judge KBJ will get a few more Republican aye votes..

EVERY STINKING REPUBLICAN SHOULD BE VOTING FOR HER.
