Graham on Biden’s SCOTUS Nominee: It’s Not an Act of Affirmative Action, We Are Making the Court ‘More Like America’

RUSH EXCERPT:

GRAHAM: “Put me in the camp that the court and other institutions look like America. We recruit women and people of color to look more like America. Affirmative action is picking somebody not as well qualified for past wrongs. Michelle childs is incredibly qualified. There is no affirmative action component if you pick her. She is highly qualified. And President Reagan said running for office he wanted to put the first female on the court. Whether you like it or not, Joe Biden said I want to pick an African-American woman to serve on the court. There are plenty who are qualified. I don’t see michelle childs as an act of affirmative action. I do see putting a black woman on the court, making the court more like America. In the history of the country, we’ve only had five women serve and two African-American men. So let’s make the court look more like America. But qualifications has to be a big consideration, and as to michelle childs, she is qualified by every measure.”
