Tomi Lahren Ripped After Whining About Biden's Plan To Pick A Black Woman For Supreme Court

Tomi Lahren Ripped After Whining About Biden's Plan To Pick A Black Woman For Supreme Court
Fox News

Fox News personality Tomi Lahren suggested that President Joe Biden should not nominate a Black woman to serve on the Supreme Court, saying Biden is simply trying to "placate" what she referred to as "the radical element" within the Democratic Party.

Almost as soon as news broke that Associate Justice Stephen Breyer would retire from his position on the nation's highest court, Lahren reiterated the Fox News consensus that Biden's promise to nominate a Black woman to the court is an indication of what conservative critics have claimed is a liberal obsession with identity politics.

Lahren claimed that Biden is trying to appease a minority faction within the Democratic Party:

"We know that what Joe Biden does best is placate to the radical element and the radical progressive base of his party that he believes is the majority. I believe that they are actually the minority."

She went on to claim that nominating a Black woman to the Supreme Court would backfire, given low opinions of Vice President Kamala Harris's performance:

"But I'm wondering the kind of justice that he would nominate. Now again, I'm sure it will be, as [Fox News pundit] Guy [Benson] said, a Black woman."
"You know, he's got a dedication to that. We saw how well that worked out with Kamala Harris but here's to hoping that he has a better choice in mind for this position."

During his campaign, then-candidate Biden promised that he would nominate a Black woman in the event of a Supreme Court vacancy, a decision that would reshape the court's liberal wing and highlight the lack of diversified voices on the nation's higher federal courts.

That promise is now front and center with Breyer's impending retirement, thanks to a short list of contenders that includes Ketanji Brown Jackson, who sits on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, and Leondra R. Kruger, who sits on the California Supreme Court.

While it's still early, a Supreme Court confirmation, which Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has signaled he would like to see take place in a matter of weeks, is widely viewed as a boon for Democrats concerned about midterm election year challenges following several high-profile policy failures resulting from obstruction from the Republican faction.

Lahren's remarks exposed her, and Fox News, to accusations of racism.


Progressives have long urged Breyer to retire to ensure that the vacancy occurs while the Democrats are in control of the Senate.

Despite these calls, Breyer did not indicate whether or not he would retire even as Democrats stressed that a vacancy would allow President Biden to nominate someone younger and perhaps bring more diversity to the court even if a Democratic appointment does not affect the ideological balance of the court.

Activists had also cited fears of a Republican victory in next year’s midterm elections and their wish to deny Republicans the opportunity to secure a 7-2 majority on the court.

Last year, the White House indicated that President Biden and his aides would not give in to those demands on the belief that pressuring Breyer to retire would backfire, possibly even pushing Breyer to remain in his position longer to prove he will not be swayed by political interference.

With Breyer's announcement that he will retire at the end of the current Supreme Court term, the left is breathing a collective sigh of relief.

RFK Jr. Admits That Banning Fluoridated Water Will Cause 'More Cavities'—But He's OK With That

Health and Human Services Secretary (HHS) Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was criticized after admitting in a Fox News interview with Harris Faulkner that his proposed fluoridated water ban would likely lead people to have more cavities—but defended the move nonetheless.

While fluoride is not federally mandated in drinking water, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) had long recommended its inclusion. Fluoride helps prevent cavities by strengthening enamel, and numerous studies have shown that fluoridated water reduces tooth decay in both children and adults.

Jesse Watters Dragged After Trying To Give Mamdani A Scary Nickname That's Actually Kind Of Epic

Fox News personality Jesse Watters was widely mocked after he tried to give New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani a scary nickname in the vein of Conan the Destroyer—only for it to backfire considerably.

Watters is the latest member of the GOP to lash out at Mamdani, a democratic socialist who handily defeated former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo in New York City's Democratic mayoral primary last week.

Mamdani ran a campaign centered around economic populism, arguing that the city, a global financial center, has grown unaffordable for everyday residents, citing soaring rents and grocery prices, and outlining policies aimed at reducing the cost of living.
