It would be funny if it weren't so deeply evil. Republicans can dish it out but really can't take it.
During last week's confirmation hearing for Ketanji Brown Jackson, the first Black woman nominated to the Supreme Court, the nation bore witness to a grotesque display of Senate Republicans openly pandering to QAnon, a large and growing cult of Donald Trump fanatics who claim that Democrats are blood-drinking pedophiles who worship Satan. In the process, they subjected Jackson to a vicious smear campaign implying that she has some special fondness for child molesters. (This, needless to say, is absolutely false.) Even for those who had no doubt that the GOP is a party of shameless liars and bullies, their behavior at Jackson's confirmation hearing was gross to the point of shocking.
