He said this in response to the litany of questions that Republicans had directed at the judge regarding her alleged leniency on child pornography.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cYou got here how every Black woman in America who\u2019s gotten anywhere has done.
