Tucker Carlson taunts George Floyd’s sister as ‘obvious choice’ for Biden Supreme Court nominee

Tucker Carlson hit another low Wednesday night saying that President Joe Biden only cared about race and gender when nominating a Supreme Court judge and should therefore choose George Floyd’s sister, The Skin. black. killed by a Minneapolis police officer in 2020.

Carlson opened up his reaction to the news that Deputy Attorney General Stephen Breyer will retire when the court ended his term in June, and noted that Biden was many times declared intention to nominate a black woman to the supreme court.

“But which black woman exactly? Biden didn’t tell us,” Carlson said angrily. “Biden made no mention of a Supreme Court candidate’s legal background, judicial philosophy or ability to perform one of the most important jobs in the country. He didn’t even tell us she was a nice person. All he said was that she would be Black and she would be female, because to him that was all that mattered. “

So, Carlson continued, Bridget Floyd would be the “obvious choice,” he claimed. “She’s not a judge or a lawyer or anything, but in this case, who cares? Obviously, that’s not the point anymore – this law. “

The judges believed to be on Biden’s shortlist include Ketanji Brown Jackson of the court of appeals for the Washington, D.C. circuit, as well as Leondra Kruger, an attorney for the California Supreme Court.

At another point in his monologue, Carlson bluntly asked why others weren’t considered for the post.

“Where is Biden’s Pacific Islander candidate?” he asks. “Why isn’t there a single American Indian on the field? Or someone who knows the gender? Or someone from the chronic fatigue syndrome community or a justice with a cognitive disability? Why are no Afghan refugees being considered? “
