President @JoeBiden today called what #KetanjiBrownJacksonHearing endured at the hands of 11 snarling, sneering, dishonest Republicans during her #SCOTUS confirmation hearings: “verbal abuse.” Accurate, Mr President. 
Biden also praised the three Republicans who defied rank partisanship and voted to confirm Judge Jackson: @SenatorCollins @lisamurkowski who is up for re-election, so took a genuine risk, and especially @MittRomney, whose father, as Biden pointed out, was a civil rights stalwart.
I’m with Biden on that. All politics aside, these three earned that praise. Particularly Murkowski and Romney, who indeed honored his father with his vote and by standing alone on the Republican side to applaud the vote, while his fellow Republicans stormed out like trolls.
Credit where credit is due.
