The NeverTrumpers at Fox News/Wall Street Journal are still out in full force. Somehow, it’s Trump’s fault that three RINO Republicans and 50 communist Democrats voted to confirm left wing radical Ketanji Brown Jackson. It’s almost like weasel Bret Baier and/or CNN reject John Roberts wrote this.
The Wall Street Journal editorial board argued in an opinion piece that former President Donald Trump was to blame for Democrats being able to confirm Ketanji Brown Jackson to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Democrats celebrated on Friday the confirmation of Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson by a count of 53 votes for and 47 votes against her confirmation. Three Republicans joined the Democrats, but she would have been confirmed with a tie-breaker by Vice President Kamala Harris even if the vote had been 50-50 along partisan lines.
The editorial board argued that Trump’s focus on delegitimizing the official election results took away from the effort to win two runoff elections determining Georgia’s two Senate seats.
“Republicans shouldn’t forget who is to blame for their predicament. If President Trump hadn’t been preoccupied with imagined fraud conspiracies after the 2020 election, Republicans probably would have retained two Senate seats in the January 2021 Georgia runoff elections,” wrote the board.
