btw, Republicans in Congress are rarely treated like this by press—open assumption that they’re really only acting on behalf of presidential political ambitions
it’s also an attempt by NYT to #BothSides the hearings; to suggest GOP and Dems are just using this week for politics
i see that this press narrative is *everywhere* this morning: Booker and Harris are showboats.

folks, this is NOT how press treats white GOP men in the senate
if roles were reversed and white GOP men did what Harris and Booker did during confirmation hearing, the press would be fawning over their super savvy performances.
