them in the midterm races. joining me bakar ri sellers, author of the new children s book, who are your people. so, bakar ri, do you share senator ted cruz s concern that this is an insult to black women? no. i i wanted to laugh one of those good hearty belly laughs at the intellectual dishonesty that is ted cruz. the fact is you have wicker, ted cruz, and senator kennedy from louisiana who are doing more than a disservice. i mean, not only do we have to look at the lack of diversity they have on their own staffs, including the few women they ve hired in their own offices, but the fact that they can form their mouth to to talk about this process and denegrate this process and talk about reverse racism and talk about discrimination while they ve stood idly by and watched discriminatory processes from the 45th president of the united
offensive. you ve got to understand, racial discrimination is wrong. period, full stop. the democrats are so casually racist that they ll make that promise, and not only that, it ends up being insulting to african american women. there are there are black women who are very talented jurists who may well be the appropriate nominee. but when biden starts out by saying he has a quota system, he diminishes the achievements of those african american women. well, cruz is not alone among republicans. senator roger wicker said the nominee will be a beneficiary of, quote, affirmative action. senator john cornyn calls it unfair to whoever is chosen. and susan collins argues it politicized the process. other republicans worry a messy confirmation fight could damage them in the midterm races. joining me bakar ri sellers,
