    And everyone else is free to criticize her, even if that’s a point of view you don’t like.

    If your best defense of her is, “The things she’s said aren’t illegal,” that’s not exactly a high bar.

      The Republicans had no problems with her gender, her race, not her position. They voted for her almost unanimously. Not sure why you said the best defense is what she said aren’t illegal. Have you even heard why Republican senators voted for her?

        Your best defense is, “She is free to speak on the point of view that you don’t like,” which is another way of saying, “The things she’s said aren’t illegal.” That, and, “If you don’t like her you’re a racist and sexist.” Absolutely pathetic, lazy, and stupid arguments.

                I know her positions. The point is that you haven’t said a word defending her based on those positions or any other relevant quality. All you can say in her defense is that her positions aren’t illegal to hold and that she’s a minority. That’s literally it.

                By the way, I still haven’t heard you say that the Democrats should’ve been more hawkish in the Middle East like Tulsi wanted, so I assume you’re aware that you’re full of shit.

                  I asked them whether they felt the same about Hillary Clinton and Ketanji Brown Jackson. I bet they don’t.

        Democrats had no problem with Hillary Clinton’s gender when she was overwhelmingly confirmed by them as Secretary of State. I assume you called anyone who criticized her sexist, right? How about anyone who criticized Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, also overwhelmingly confirmed by Demcocrats. So you are definitely a sexist, racist person if you were against her becoming a SCOTUS justice.

        Hillary Clinton and Judge Jackson thank you for your support of them.

          Ok. That’s fine. Using Hilary, Jackson, and Tulsi as examples, neither the Democrats nor the Republicans are racist or sexist.

            Not when it comes to confirming people for office. Why do you think that is the only measure of racism or sexism? Do you really not think people can be racist or sexist in other ways? Also, do you think I will tell you that there are no racist or sexist Democrats? I am not a partisan.
