cnn Claims Racism When Senator Opposes Biden Nominee
Democrats showed how little they care about bipartisanship by failing to sufficiently consult two Tennessee GOP senators about one of Biden's nominees for a Federal appellate court.
They did not even receive "blue-slips" — which are used to allow senators to express their position on a nominee from their state.
Dem Chair Dick Durbin conceded they did not receive them — even though this is a historical norm.
During the hearing for Andre Mathis, Biden's appointee, Blackburn raised concerns over Mathis' past, citing his driver's license being suspended three times.
Blackburn said she had "serious concerns" about Mathis' experience and, with Hagerty, had identified an alternative pick, Camille McMullen, a Democratic appointee to the Tennessee Court of Criminal Appeals who is also Black and is nearly a decade older than the 41-year-old Mathis.
She also said Mathis had a "rap sheet with a laundry list of citations" with speeding tickets that led to his driver's license being suspended three times from 2008 to 2011 for failure to pay or appear in court.
Mathis expressed regret about the tickets, which he forgot to pay. "I can assure the committee I'm a law abiding citizen," he said.
While GOP senators grumbled about their Tennessee colleagues' frustrations, Republican John Kennedy of Louisiana acknowledged that reviving the blue slips process now "would be perceived unfair to this administration."
cnn responded by smearing Blackburn as a racist.
This is despite her having identified an alternative pick who was also black.
[N.S.: She should have offered a White
alternative pick.]

"his driver's license being suspended three times from 2008 to 2011 for failure to pay or appear in court."
If you have a summons to appear in court and fail to do so, don't you have a bench warrant issued against you?
Nig*er TV.
