Because you know, they\u2019re going to be vying for a viral moment on the Republican side,\u201d Cross said. \u201cAnd what would you say is the biggest challenge to Judge Jackson\u2019s confirmation, if any, given that Democrats have the majority?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe biggest challenge is her not getting out of her chair and punching one of these fools in the mouth,\u201d Mystal said of the Republicans who were likely to challenge her. \u201cLike, that\u2019s the hardest thing, because all they have for her right now is racism and disgusting innuendo. Like, they don\u2019t have\u2026 They don\u2019t have anything on her record.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mystal went on to note that Judge Jackson had been on the court for nine years, arguing that Republicans were not contesting her decisions in \u201chundreds and hundreds of cases\u201d and were not making \u201csubstantive legal arguments about her actual decision-making process.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll they\u2019ve got is the racism, they want to know about the LSAT scores. Some of them are going to call her an affirmative action nominee,\u201d Mystal continued, referencing criticisms directed primarily at President Joe Biden for his outright statement that he was going to <a href=\"https:\/\/dailywire.com\/news\/progressives-demand-biden-pick-supreme-court-nominee-based-on-race-and-sex-select-first-black-female-justice\/\">choose a black woman<\/a>, to the exclusion of all other demographics. \u201cSome of them are going to ask her why she\u2019s not sad that good white people weren\u2019t considered for the job. That\u2019s literally what they have.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mystal then pivoted to address Senator Josh Hawley, who <a href=\"https:\/\/dailywire.com\/news\/hawley-biden-scotus-nominee-has-a-pattern-of-letting-child-porn-offenders-off-the-hook\/\">raised questions<\/a> earlier in the week about Jackson\u2019s record in dealing with child pornography and sex offender cases.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut like, that\u2019s, the challenge will just be keeping her cool because if she keeps her cool, which I\u2019m sure she will do,\u201d Mystal concluded. \u201cWe\u2019re talking about a high school debate champion and, you know, a person who has prepared her whole life for these four days. As long as she keeps her cool, she should do fine because she\u2019s so eminently qualified and impeccably credentialed that they don\u2019t really have anything on her.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The White House <a href=\"https:\/\/dailywire.com\/news\/white-house-slams-hawley-allegations-about-biden-scotus-nominees-lax-record-on-child-pornographers-as-toxic-and-weakly-presented-misinformation\/\">has responded<\/a> to Hawley\u2019s accusations, saying, that they amounted to \u201ctoxic and weakly-presented misinformation that relies on taking cherry-picked elements of her record\u00a0out of context.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
