Pundits and some news organizations on the left seem to be parroting the latest progressive talking point to oppose President Trump’s Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, focusing on Kavanaugh’s race to argue he is not a diverse pick for the nation’s top court.
Earlier this week, Breitbart News reported that in a clear attempt to deploy the time-tested progressive tactic of divisive warfare, Demand Justice, the activist organization at the center of opposing Kavanaugh established a talking point on its website that “Trump’s judges are overwhelmingly white men.”
Demand Justice is founded by former members of Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign and is tied to the who’s who of the organized progressive left. The organization posted the “white men” talking point prior to Kavanaugh’s nomination.
PBS.org digital politics editor Daniel Bush wrote a piece that featured an entire subsection titled, “Another white man.”
Bush complained:
On occasion, Supreme Court appointments double as important cultural milestones… Fast forward to the latest Supreme Court pick. Trump chose a white man. On one hand, Trump was all but certain to faced backlash as long as the nominee had a conservative record on abortion and other hot-button issues. Still, the president had an opportunity to make a statement about diversity.

So I guess since they can’t do an Anita Hill show, they will resort to this sort of nonsense, eh?
They must replace a woman with a woman, a black with a black, but a white guy? Forget it, according to the left. I say so what? They have no power. Why care what they want? They certainly didn’t give a hoot about us when Barry was in charge.
Apparently only Latinas can be wise.

Why dont they like Thomas? not black enough. or not LEFTIST enough?
Same for Kavanaugh
The only reason for the obsession with melanin content is the perception, among those who are osesssed with melanin content, that Trump is obsessed with melanin content.

Is Daniel Bush a white man?
Why are we the taxpayers still funding PBS?
White people take note:
The Democrat Party hates white people.
Well then, so is America. which is what the left would have us believe.
And why? Is it because less white communities are easier to "organize". If so, the left's complaint is quite a tell.
Dunno about wise, but they can definitely be quite wide.
Racists.
Wait, what color was Merrick Garland?
bttt
So much for justice being blind. Or judging someone on the basis of their character, not the color of their skin. Democrats are the biggest hypocrites and racists in America.
He’s too XX
Well we could just say that we need to shore up our Catholic contingent on the court since you all put Sotomayer on there -which gave you guys a three-fer (lib Catholic, woman, Hispanic) So there. [sticking my tongue out]. I think they probably took great satisfaction with that Sotomayer pick. JMO
Democrats view of diversity. Look different, but think alike.
Hey democrats! I’m a white guy and I’m proud of it. Deal with it!!
Oh yeah, and I vote.
That’s like saying he’s too American. Not possible.
