Conservatives on Twitter slammed the Associated Press on Friday for an article about Republicans arguing that Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson “brings too much empathy to the job.”
In a Twitter post with the piece, written by AP chief congressional correspondent Lisa Mascaro, the AP wrote, “Democrats praised President Joe Biden’s choice of the Harvard-educated lawyer and appellate court judge as long overdue, making the judicial branch begin to look more like America. But Republicans argue Jackson brings too much empathy to the job.”

The AP thinks having “too much empathy” for child predators is a marvelous thing and not something to scoff at https://t.co/xijj1eBCtY

This is quite possibly the worst spin on the actual issue yet. We’re talking “Here’s a trophy” level achievement. https://t.co/GgJeBJXOTX

Again, just want to note that the way to make SCOTUS look more like America would be to appoint either a Hispanic man or an Asian woman. https://t.co/R1ZOhCysD3

Republicans don’t want #SCOTUS justices to have too much empathy towards child pornographers.
I’d say that’s a good thing, @AP. https://t.co/toNCOoQNau
