"Even as America applauds how Judge Jackson endured the hearings with fortitude and grace under fire, it demands to be said: she should not have been subjected to this treatment in the first place," said Jayapal."The baseless and frankly racist attacks we have seen in recent days demean the Senate Judiciary Committee and these proceedings, and disparage the nominee to an unacceptable degree.
"Judge Jackson's treatment will unfortunately be all too familiar to women, especially women of color and particularly Black women," she continued."We can recall every moment we've experienced what can at best be described as antagonizing and at worst as bullying." "But of course," Jayapal added,"Judge Jackson responded as Black women and women of color will also recognize: with poise and unflappable dignity. I join millions around the country in applauding her nomination, her performance throughout these hearings, and look forward to recognizing her as Justice Jackson."
