Josh Hawley (R-MO) tripped up an ABC News reporter on Monday as the reporter was echoing what Hawley called \u201cWhite House talking points\u201d and could not give vital case information to back up her claims.<\/p>\n<p>ABC\u2019s Rachel Scott pressed Hawley on why he has allegedly voted for judges in the past who are soft on child sex predators but is pushing back on the swift confirmation of President Joe Biden Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut how is it acceptable for a lower court, if it\u2019s not acceptable for a higher court?\u201d Scott asked Hawley.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not sure which judges you\u2019re referring to, if there are judges who are soft on child porn offenders, in a systematic kind of pattern,\u201d the Republican senator responded, adding, \u201cBut again, I\u2019ve only voted for one Supreme Court justice.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Scott insisted she looked through Hawley\u2019s record, which she said \u201cshows you have voted for at least three federal judges who have imposed lighter sanctions on child porn offenders. So, how do you square that?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSame answer: not for this court,\u201d Hawley answered. \u201cAnd, I think this pattern is going to be a problem wherever I\u2019m aware of it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know that\u2019s the White House talking point, but I think it\u2019s a dangerous one,\u201d the senator continued. \u201cYou gotta be careful with that. It\u2019s the old, \u2018Well, everyone else is jumping off a cliff, so I will, too.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Scott asked Hawley if he regretted his past votes, to which the senator pushed back asking for the judges\u2019 names and cases when they were allegedly soft on child porn offenders.\u00a0\u201cWell, I\u2019m not sure which judges you\u2019re talking about; I have not seen the White House\u2019s talking points on this. But this is their new line,\u201d the Republican told Scott.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s public information, we actually have it, here,\u201d Scott told Hawley, naming Judge Joseph F. Bianco, who was appointed as a United States Circuit Judge for the Second Circuit by then-President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd what were the cases?\u201d Hawley asked Scott numerous times. \u201cYou voted for them, shouldn\u2019t you be familiar with their record, as well?\u201d Scott responded.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut what were the cases?\u201d Hawley asked again.<\/p>\n<p>When Scott couldn\u2019t answer, the senator chuckled and said, \u201cYou don\u2019t know their record.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat cases, was it after their confirmation or before?\u201d Hawley again posed.<\/p>\n<p>Scott started to respond, \u201cDo you expect me to just \u2014,\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, I expect you to know the facts since you\u2019re asking me about them,\u201d the senator told her. \u201cSo, how many cases did they have? Judge Jackson had seven, I just listened them. So what are the ones that these judges have?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe larger point, senator, which I think that you\u2019re not \u2014,\u201d Scott shifted gears, before Hawley interjected.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, you don\u2019t know. You\u2019re just here to do a \u2018gotcha.\u2019 When you know the facts, come back to me,\u201d he said. \u201cGood luck!\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">This audio of ABC&#8217;s Rachel Scott trying to trap Josh Hawley over Ketanji Brown Jackson&#8217;s record on child sex predators is just too good. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/EpicFail?src=hash&#038;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#EpicFail<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/GuLW4xLKs1\">pic.twitter.com\/GuLW4xLKs1<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Curtis Houck (@CurtisHouck) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CurtisHouck\/status\/1505986945167642626?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 21, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>As <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/hawley-biden-scotus-nominee-has-a-pattern-of-letting-child-porn-offenders-off-the-hook\">The Daily Wire<\/a> highlighted last week, Hawley publicly questioned Jackson\u2019s fitness for the bench based on her record.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve been researching the record of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, reading her opinions, articles, interviews &#038; speeches,\u201d the senator posted to Twitter. \u201cI\u2019ve noticed an alarming pattern when it comes to Judge Jackson\u2019s treatment of sex offenders, especially those preying on children.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn the federal bench, Judge Jackson put her troubling views into action,\u201d Hawley said. \u201cIn every single child porn case for which we can find records, Judge Jackson deviated from the federal sentencing guidelines in favor of child porn offenders.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a disturbing record for any judge, but especially one nominated to the highest court in the land,\u201d he accused. \u201cProtecting the most vulnerable shouldn\u2019t be up for debate.
