There are a lot of politicians in the United States who would defend Nazis today. Let’s not forget that Nazism is a form of fascism, and former President Donald Trump certainly utilized fascist political tactics. So, things aren’t looking too good for Republicans. But Republicans aren’t too well known for their self-awareness lately — which explains why this week, Republican Sen. Tom Cotton claimed Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson would’ve defended Nazis at Nuremberg.
Republicans have latched onto Jackson’s history as a public defender in their attempt to discredit her. Notably, they’ve often invoked her work with detainees in Guantanamo Bay — you know, the infamous torture site that should be abolished.
