Before Senate confirmation hearings for US Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson, Republican Senator Josh Hawley announced plans to question the US District Court judge over what he characterised as her lenient “treatment of sex offenders, especially those preying on children.”
He posted a 17-part Twitter thread in which he alleged Judge Jackson maintained an “alarming pattern” of excusing crimes committed by sex offenders and people guilty of possessing child sex abuse images, allegations amplified by the Republican National Committee and right-wing outlets.
