Sen. Cory Booker strongly rebuked Republicans in the Senate Judiciary Committee on Monday for their"straw man" criticism over Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson's sentencing record, saying,"These are just lies."
"You could try to create a straw man here, but it does not hold, and it's just frustrating to me. To listen to people trying to create a caricature of a human being whose family is law enforcement, who is a parent, and who is well within the norm on these cases," Booker added. “Why didn’t you vote against every one of those Republican judges that was not following the guidelines, as most don’t?” pic.twitter.com/XI1BHnEDpQ
