Eliana Johnson, Editor in Chief at Washington Free Beacon, criticized calls for Justice Sonia Sotomayor to retire by progressives as “unseemly.” She highlighted the age gap between Sotomayor and President Joe Biden, calling out the inconsistency in perceptions of their age.

Eliana Johnson, the Editor in Chief at the Washington Free Beacon, raised concerns about progressives calling for Justice Sonia Sotomayor’s retirement, labeling it as inappropriate. Johnson pointed out the age difference between Sotomayor and President Joe Biden, underscoring the paradox in how their ages are perceived. Additionally, Johnson stressed that Sotomayor is capable of making her own decision regarding retirement based on her health and circumstances.
Washington Free Beacon editor in chief Eliana Johnson said calls from progressives for Supreme Court justice Sonia Sotomayor to retire are “unseemly,” citing Sotomayor’s age in comparison with President Joe Biden’s. Sotomayor is 12 years younger than the octogenarian commander in chief.
“I do find it rich that the same people who tell us that Joe Biden is a spring chicken at 81 years old are telling us that the 69-year-old Justice Sotomayor must step down,” Johnson said during a Saturday CNN appearance, “and they’re going through her medicine cabinet to see what diabetes medication she’s on.”
“They’re not telling her anything she doesn’t know,” Johnson continued. “I find it sort of unseemly.”
“She knows how old she is,” Johnson said. “She knows what her health condition is. She can make the decision whether she wants to step down.”
