The Nation’s Elie Mystal, a regular MSNBC contributor, accused Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) of trying to get Joe Biden’s Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson “killed” for pointing out her leniency towards sex offenders in previous cases.
Mystal argued on MSNBC’s “Cross Connection” on Saturday that Hawley’s attempt to highlights Jackson’s questionable rulings toward sex offenders was just a ploy to get her “killed.”
“[S]he is going to be confirmed, and she is going to be well-liked while she’s confirmed,” Mystal said. “So them going to the mattresses against her is kind of a waste of their time. But I don’t want to let the Josh Hawley thing lie, because here’s, you know, like — here’s where I need the Democrats to step up — because when they try to smear her, I need the Democrats to get up there and defend her just as vociferously as Lindsey Graham defended alleged attempted rapist Brett Kavanaugh.”

Mystal then bizarrely referenced how Jackson sentenced an anti-pedophile activist who fired a gun in the D.C-based pizza parlor Comet Ping Pong in 2016 as evidence that she is somehow against pedophilia.
“[Y]ou know how I know that Josh Hawley knows what Pizzagate is all about?” he added. “Because guess who’s the judge who sentenced the Pizzagate guy? Oh, that was Ketanji Brown Jackson.”
Hawley had highlighted in a Twitter thread Wednesday Jackson’s troubling pattern of “letting child porn offenders off the hook” in numerous cases.
“Judge Jackson has a pattern of letting child porn offenders off the hook for their appalling crimes, both as a judge and as a policymaker. She’s been advocating for it since law school. This goes beyond ‘soft on crime.’ I’m concerned that this a record that endangers our children,” he tweeted, citing cases like United States v. Chazin, United States v. Cooper, United States v. Downs, United States v. Sears, and United States v. Stewart.
I’ve been researching the record of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, reading her opinions, articles, interviews & speeches. I’ve noticed an alarming pattern when it comes to Judge Jackson’s treatment of sex offenders, especially those preying on children

“In United States v. Cooper, in which the criminal had more than 600 images and videos and posted many on a public blog, the Guidelines called for a sentence of 151-188 months. Judge Jackson settled on 60 months, the lowest possible sentence allowed by law,” Hawley tweeted.

“In United States v. Downs, the perp posted multiple images to an anonymous instant messaging app, including an image of a child under the age of 5. The Guidelines recommended 70-87 months. Judge Jackson gave him the lowest sentence allowed by law, 60 months,” he said in another tweet.

“In every single child porn case for which we can find records, Judge Jackson deviated from the federal sentencing guidelines in favor of child porn offenders,” he added.
On the federal bench, Judge Jackson put her troubling views into action. In every single child porn case for which we can find records, Judge Jackson deviated from the federal sentencing guidelines in favor of child porn offenders
