.@ScottJenningsKY 🔥🔥: "My heart is full that an African-American woman is going to be on the Supreme Court b/c there's not been anybody in Washington over the last 36 years who's fought harder against putting African-Americans and Hispanics on the bench than Joe Biden."
.@ScottJenningsKY: "Look what [Joe Biden] did to Clarence Thomas. He used the Jim Crow filibuster, their words, not mine, against Janice Rogers Brown & Priscilla Owen & Miguel Estrada. Joe Biden has an atrocious record...After 36 years, he's finally found religion on this issue."
.@ScottJenningsKY: "[T]here's little doubt that the people [he's] looking at are all highly qualified, highly experienced, & highly liberal & some you might call radical...That's how Republicans are going to go after this...It's not going to be over race."
.@ScottJenningsKY: "I think everybody is going to be very, very pleased that an African-American woman is going to be on the Supreme Court. I am, a lot of Republicans I know are...But it also doesn't mean we can't have a real conversation here about their views[.]" (4/4)

Joy Reid argued Friday that Republicans are the modern day Nazi Party, Chinese and Soviet Communist Parties, and the Pol Pot regime b/c they're engaging in "book burning and banning," adding "the great parent revolt is bankrolled" by conservatives "controlling the puppet strings"
Joy Reid argues the Republican Party is the side that's wholly responsible for "attacks on Asian-Americans and Jewish people" and whenever Americans don't have "safe roads and clean drinking water" thanks to "selling white grievance and rage" and "demoniz[ing] China"
Joy Reid on parents speaking up at school board meetings against books that include things like graphic sexual content: "[D]o they care that they’re...enraging [their electorate] in ways that become dangerous and drive people toward anti-social behavior, even violent behavior?"
Once again, CNN's @OliverDarcy is lying. Fox's @HarrisFaulkner gave Trump a run for his money in one of his toughest but fairest interviews -- June 2020 after the death of George Floyd. Below are a few write-ups of the interview.

The Lord is truly with Dominique Luzuriaga right now as she delivers her eulogy to her husband, slain NYPD Officer Jason Rivera.
Officer Rivera's widow says they had an argument the morning he was killed and expresses regret she didn't have him drive her home when they could have worked things out. And that was the last time she had saw or talked to him.
Officer Rivera's widow, Dominique Luzuriaga: "Dozens of people were surrounding me & yet, I felt alone. I couldn't believe you left me. Seeing you in that hospital bed wrapped up in sheets & not hearing you when I was talking to you broke me...I was lost. I'm still lost."
DOOCY TIME: "When you were asked about the Vice President, possibly being selected as a Supreme Court nominee, you say you're not going to speak to any considerations. Does that means she is being considered?"
Psaki refuses to talk about a "retirement that hasn't been announced"
Doocy: "Would someone who was an attorney general of a large state & who served w/many key Senate votes be an attractive candidate to the President for an open Supreme Court seat?"
Psaki: "I see what you did...[He] has every intention...of...running...w/[her] on the ticket."
Doocy: "Now that you...have submitted written responses to Russia's demands, they are saying if we do not receive a constructive answer...Moscow will take appropriate measures. Is that a threat? Appropriate measures?"
Psaki makes clear that "the aggressor here...is Russia"
DOOCY TIME: "Why is it that large numbers of single adult men are being released into the United States just hours after being apprehended at the southern border?"
Psaki: "Well I'm not sure the specifics of what you're referring to, Peter...."
Doocy: "You mentioned...they're supposed to check in at a local ICE office, but we know that just between large and August...DHS says more than 47,000...migrants that were given notices to report did not show up. So, why let them into the U.S. unsupervised in the first place?"
Doocy: "Biden met with President Putin in-person in June...He said...'It's clearly not in anybody's interested...for us to be in a situation where we're in a new Cold war, & I truly believe...he understands that.' Has the President changed his opinion about what Putin thinks?"
NEW: Peter Doocy reveals Biden called him "within an hour" after he called him "a stupid son of a b****": "[W]ithin about an hour of that...he called my cell phone & he just said, 'it's nothing personal, pal' & we went back and forth & we were talking about...moving forward."
Peter Doocy: "I made sure to tell [Biden] that I'm always going to try to ask something different than what everybody else is asking & he said, 'you've got to.' And that is the quote from the President, so I will keep doing it."
