Tucker Sneers That George Floyd’s Sister Is ‘The Obvious Choice’ for Biden’s Supreme Court Nominee

Tucker Carlson hit another low mark on Wednesday night when he said that President Joe Biden only cares about race and gender when it comes to nominating a Supreme Court justice and thus should select the sister of George Floyd, the Black man murdered by a Minneapolis police officer in 2020.

Carlson opened his show reacting to the news that Associate Justice Stephen Breyer will retire when the court ends its term in June, and noted that Biden has repeatedly stated his intention to nominate a Black woman to the high court.

“But which Black woman, exactly? Biden didn’t tell us,” a peeved Carlson said. “Biden didn’t mention the Supreme Court nominee’s legal qualifications or judicial philosophy or ability to perform one of the most important jobs in the country. He didn’t even tell us she was a nice person. All he said was she’s going to be Black and she’s going to be female, because to him, that’s all that matters.”

Thus, Carlson continued, Bridget Floyd would be “the obvious choice,” he declared. “She is not a judge or a lawyer or whatever, but in this case, who cares? Clearly, that’s not the point anymore – this law stuff.”

Judges widely believed to be on Biden’s shortlist include Ketanji Brown Jackson of the court of appeals for the Washington, D.C. circuit, as well as Leondra Kruger, an associate justice of the California Supreme Court.
