On Wednesday, Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) announced in a long Twitter thread that he discovered an “alarming pattern” in the rulings of Supreme Court nominee Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s “treatment of sex offenders, especially those preying on children.”
Hawley, a staunch ally of former President Donald Trump, believed the judge had “a pattern of letting child porn offenders off the hook for their appalling crimes” that went all the way back to her time in law school and encompassing her work on the U.S. Sentencing Commission.
Hawley’s complaints about Jackson included her questioning the effectiveness of the sex offender registry, proposing eliminating mandatory minimum sentencing for child pornography, advocating for lower than recommended sentences for child porn offenders, and claiming that a person can possess such material without actually being a pedophile.
Hawley’s thread immediately received pushback from Twitter users, many pointing out the Missouri Republican’s open support for overturning the 2020 election. The White House called the accusations “toxic” and “misinformation” taken out of the broader context behind those rulings.
But in attacking Judge Jackson’s record on issues related to such crimes, Hawley, a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, signaled an intention to appeal during the hearing to the great mass of conspiracy theorists who obsess over “crimes against children” allegedly committed by Democrats.
Naturally, that means QAnon.
