Fox News Host Throws Shade at GOP Senator for Making Bonkers 'Nazi' Smear Against Judge Jackson

Fox News Host Throws Shade at GOP Senator for Making Bonkers 'Nazi' Smear Against Judge Jackson
Fox News

Today, the Senate will vote to confirm Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson's nomination to the United States Supreme Court, marking the end of a month-long confirmation process that sets the stage for Judge Jackson to become the first Black woman on the nation's highest court.

Though Judge Jackson has been approved by the Senate for lower courtships on a bipartisan basis multiple times, Senate Republicans have pulled out all the stops to smear her, claiming she has a soft spot for pedophiles, blasting her work as a public defender, and painting her as a Trojan horse for critical race theory.


Among these Republicans is far-right Senator Tom Cotton of Arkansas, who said of Judge Jackson on the Senate floor:

"The last Judge Jackson left the Supreme Court to go to Nuremberg and prosecute the case against the Nazis. This Judge Jackson might have gone there to defend them.”

Cotton was alluding to Jackson's work as a public defender, as anyone in the United States who's been charged with a crime has the right to legal representation. Justice Robert H. Jackson, the man to whom Cotton alluded, who left the Supreme Court to serve as chief U.S. prosecutor in the Nuremberg Trials, knew the value of public defenders. When drafting the London Agreement—the documents establishing the authority and rules of the trials—Jackson and his colleagues determined that even the Nazis had a right to counsel.

Even hosts on the conservative Fox News network were skeptical of Cotton's smear.

Fox host John Roberts asked:

"Again, she was in the federal public defender's office. She says she didn't get to pick and choose her clients. This really is a matter of due process, and I'm wondering, why make that link between Judge Jackson and the Nazis and the Nuremberg Trial?"

Cotton proceeded to claim Jackson had continued to work in defending accused terrorists after her time as a public defender, though his claims continued to misrepresent her work and the circumstances. None of those Jackson represented or filed amicus briefings for were convicted of terrorism or any other crime.

Roberts proceeded to ask:

"You don't think it was a bridge too far to make the link with Nuremberg and Nazis?"

The Senator said no, but social media users widely disagreed.






Some said Fox's skepticism should've been a red flag.



Despite Cotton's smears, Jackson has enough votes—including some from Republicans—for her nomination to pass.

Support stands at 33%, with opposition particularly strong among Democrats—98% oppose it, while just 1% support it.
