Utah RINO Mitt Romney found a new way to stab conservatives in the back.
This may be his worst betrayal yet.
Romney defended Joe Biden’s radical Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson from attacks she is soft on pedophiles.
Despite documented evidence laid out by Missouri Senator Josh Hawley that Jackson handed out much more lenient sentences for child pornographers and pedophiles than prosecutors and federal guidelines called for, Romney falsely claimed that these attacks were not based in reality.
“It struck me that it was off course, meaning the attacks were off course that came from some. And there is no ‘there’ there,” Romney told The Washington Post.
In one case, Jackson handed down a three-month sentence to an 18-year-old possessing hundreds of videos and images of children as young as eight.
During the sentencing, Senator Hawley noted that Jackson apologized to the convicted child pornographer.
“You said to him, ‘This is a truly difficult situation. I appreciate that your family is in the audience. I feel so sorry for them and for you, and for the anguish this has caused all of you. I feel terrible about the collateral consequences of this conviction,’” Senator Hawley began.
Senator Hawley then noted Jackson expressed sympathy for how society shunned pedophiles.
“Then, you said, ‘Pedophiles are truly shunned in this society,’” Senator Hawley added.
Senator Hawley then asked if Jackson believed the child pornographer was the true victim in this case.
“I’m just trying to figure out, Judge, is he the victim here? Or are the victims the victims?” Senator Hawley asked.
Texas Senator Ted Cruz honed in on a 1996 law review note Jackson wrote arguing that supervision where pedophiles had to register and check in with police was preferable to locking them up.
Senator Cruz noted that if Jackson had her way 6,300 sex offenders would be turned loose on the streets.
“If you look at Civil Commitment laws, the UCLA School of Law Williams Institute estimates more than 6,300 sex offenders are currently detained by civil commitment programs,” the senator said. “If the view you advocated prevailed, presumably, those 6,300 sex offenders would be released to the public. Is that an outcome that should be concerning?” Senator Cruz asked.
Jackson tried to argue that was merely her view as a law student.
“Senator, in law school when I was writing a note, I was looking at a brand new set of laws that had not previously been enacted in any jurisdiction — they were new. I was assessing at the time, as law school students do, what criteria I thought might be used by courts to make a determination in the future as to whether or not they should be treated as punitive and therefore — not unconstitutional — but therefore, ones that carry with them certain rights versus preventative,” Jackson tried to answer.
Senator Cruz interjected that he understood what Jackson was trying to do, but that Jackson’s record as a judge of going soft on pedophiles was ample evidence that Jackson did not truly change her views.
Senators Cruz and Hawley asked legitimate tough questions of Ketanji Brown Jackson.
But one reason Mitt Romney spoke out against Hawley and Cruz is the same reason Romney choked away the 2012 election.
And that is Mitt Romney is afraid to criticize Democrats out of fear that The Washington Post will call him a racist.
