WATCH: Biden nominee gets frustrated during questioning by Senator Hawley

by The Right Scoop

Senator Hawley was questioning Ketanji Brown Jackson about the child porn cases and in one short clip you can tell that Jackson was getting visibly frustrated at Hawley.

Here’s the clip:

 
The line of questioning that frustrated Jackson was in reference to her sentencing an 18-year-old to only three months for viewing child pornography.

Hawley points out that she told the offender “you were viewing sex acts between children who were not much younger than you”. But Hawley takes issue with it, saying that he fails to see in what sense an 18-year-old is the peer of 8-year-old children.

He adds “I don’t understand you saying to him that they’re peers…and that’s somehow a reason to only give him three months.”

That’s when Jackson got frustrated as you see in the image at the top of the article. When asked to explain this, she claimed that she doesn’t have the record in front of her.

Hawley then followed up asking Jackson why she apologized to the offender in this case, telling him that ‘sex offenders were truly shunned in our society’. Hawley asked her if she thought the offender was a victim of something:

You can see Jackson get visibly frustrated again at Hawley’s questioning and once again she doesn’t explain it, saying only that she thought the case was odd or something. Pathetic.

UPDATE: Here’s a couple more clips from this exchange:
