Tucker Carlson called out for demanding Ketanji Brown Jackson’s LSAT score

Tucker Carlson took heat Wednesday night after a segment aired on Tucker Carlson Tonight in which Carlson questioned the academic credentials of President Biden’s Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson. This came just days after he attacked her very nomination, saying she would humiliate the Supreme Court and make the U.S. look like Rwanda. Carlson never had such questions about any of former President Trump’s three nominees, all of whom are white. But for Jackson, Carlson wanted to know what she got on the Law School Admission Test, otherwise known as LSAT.

“So is Ketanji Brown Jackson, that even Joe Biden has trouble pronouncing, one of our top legal minds in the entire country? Certainly hope so. Biden’s right, appointing her is one of his gravest constitutional duties,” Carlson said. “So it might be time for Joe Biden to let us know what Ketanji Brown Jackson’s LSAT score was. How’d she do on the LSATs? Why wouldn’t he tell us that? That would settle the question conclusively as to whether she’s a once-in-a-generation legal talent. It would seem like American’s in a democracy have a right to know that and much more before giving her a lifetime appointment, but we didn’t hear that.”

Twitter took Carlson to task, with many people calling him racist. But DNC chair Jaime Harrison took it upon himself to answer Carlson’s questions about Jackson’s academic prowess. Harrison pointed out that Jackson graduated Magna Cum Laude from Harvard, Cum Laude from Harvard Law and was the editor of the Harvard Law Review.

Nobody could be stupider than the wide Latina.

Wasn’t bammy the “editor” of the HLR as well? Means nothing.

[MtnClimber]

Didn’t she rape someone?

[Ge0ffrey]

Harvard. Big deal.

[cgbg]

“Affirmative Action” has made any accomplishment by any black person suspect.

That is just the way it is—one of many reasons Affirmative Action must end.

Enough is enough.

[Altura Ct.]

Who cares if he was ‘called out’?

What is her LSAT score?

[skeeter]

Twitter and the DNC ‘call out’ Tucker Carlson.

Now THATS news.

Harrison pointed out that Jackson graduated Magna Cum Laude from Harvard, Cum Laude from Harvard Law and was the editor of the Harvard Law Review.

That's impressive...I guess? I don't know what Harvard's actual standards are these days, and whether real accomplishment plays much part in their admissions, grades and honors.

I’m sure she didn’t do well on standardized test but got straight A’s from her professors on subjective grading.

[sanjuanbob]

Not “the” editor; one of “many” editors.

[cnsmom]

Maybe there should be a written standardized test for all US judges annually with scores published publically.

Those things have all devolved into awards for political conformity - how about an objective measurement like the LSAT score?

[TexasFreeper2009]

I can see how this could be perceived as racist... BUT, the fact is affirmative action in schools has led everyone to question if a blacks degrees were earned or “given” due to Affirmative action.

I have no doubt there are tons of brilliant blacks out there, and it’s a shame that liberals pushing affirmative action has made us all have to question their degrees.

[redshawk]

A judge picked on race and gender. Qualifications be damned.
She is nothing but a affirmative action hire. Every citizen should be outraged by this.

[Tell It Right]

Ketanji is pretty big about not prosecuting drug crimes. So during Ketanji's confirmation hearing, someone ought to ask her what she thinks about a particular pot prosecution and conviction here, and another one there, etc., never saying the name of the state AG that was behind them or that they were all in California...

All in front of the Senate President (VP Kamala) who was that California AG.

Didn’t she rape someone?

I heard she once dressed up like a man in white face and went into the little boy's room and raped a kindergarten kid.

[BenLurkin]

There are classes on how to take the LSAT.

“This came just days after he attacked her very nomination, saying she would humiliate the Supreme Court and make the U.S. look like Rwanda.”

Tucker says it like it is. But as usual some people find the truth offensive.

I shudder to think, these mighty bastions of Constitution
