PBS’s “Washington Week” host Yamiche Alcindor said Wednesday on MSNBC’s ‘”11th Hour” that “a lot of black women” felt like the Republican senators questioning Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson were disrespecting her.
Guest-host Alicia Menendez said, “There was this sort of remarkable moment today between Judge Jackson and Senator Cory Booker. I want to play for our audience. Let’s take a listen.”
During the hearings, Booker said, “They’re going to accuse you of this and that, heck, in honor of your birthday, you might be called a communist but don’t worry my sister, don’t worry. God has got you. And how do I know that? Because you are here, and I know what it has taken for you to sit in that seat.”
Alcindor said, “What Senator Booker did was really to honor her. He said not only don’t worry. God has you. He also called her a great American. He also said that you earned this. You are worthy. I’ve been talking to a number of black women, who watched Judge Jackson answer questions from Ted Cruz, and Tom Cotton, and a number of other Republicans, felt like she was being disrespected, felt like she was not being treated with the respect she deserved as a nominee to the Supreme Court. So there are a lot of black women who watch Cory Booker and said this is someone who came to really give her the sort of flowers that she deserved.”
She added, “There are a lot of people watching the confirmation hearing, really feeling like it had devolved into a very, very low sort of argument about child pornography and all of these distractions.”

Fair questions, in my opinion. Don’t forget democrats always set the new low when trashing a republicans nominee and their victim groups don’t seem to have a problem with that, in fact they beg for more slander.
She did not deserve anything!!!
Picked by biden is nothing to brag on.. He chose some one who could get his son off from sex with a 3 yr old.
When i hear the ‘allowances’ given .. And its giving room to live like the devil ...when no one is held accountab... When wrong is given a wink...
They know not God and they dont like we who do.
So? Maybe a lot of white men thought that this Supreme Court nominee does not have the intelligence to complete a sentence nor the ability to understand the Constitution.
Why does this woman deserve any respect? She is so stupid, she does not know the difference between a man and a woman.
Zero Foxtrot. Respect is earned.
Well black women and everyone else are being disrespected by this kind of political spin.
Well, anyway - that's what Yamiche did.
She disrespected black women by saying that you have to be a biologist to be able to define what a woman is.
So asking a simple question to a black woman who can’t answer it and ends up making a spectacle of herself is now disrespect? No, it’s butthurt black leftists who can’t stand seeing one of their own displaying to the country how unfit and too stupid she is to sit on the highest court in the land. As a non-White American who is not black I’m beyond fed up with blacks and their perpetual victimhood status. Miss Alcindor go shove your race and victim cards up where the sun don’t shine!
Uh oh, the GOP might not be able to count on that massive black women vote that they depend on!
Get real. Of course, she knows, as everyone knows, what a woman is (and without benefit of a biology degree, by the way).
What that response was designed for is protect her from any tranny cases that come up later where she can rule a dude can compete against women because who the hell knows what a woman is.
Well theres a lot of that one black woman ...
Black women are the unwavering zombie like dim party base. So its them and urban Karens and neckbeard hipsters.
Yes. The only alternative is to drop to your knees and open your wallet.
Ha. I chuckled at your comments. Thanks.
she disrespected the senate and the country for pretending to be qualified
Every time I see a picture of the nominee, I think that Joe Biden nominated her because he thought he was nominating Kamala Harris to the Supreme Court so he could get her out of his hair. As in, they all look alike to a guy like Joe.
Had to double check it wasn’t Lew Alcindor.
