White House deputy press secretary Andrew Bates accused Sen. Josh Hawley of an 'embarrassing, QAnon-signaling smear' for his criticisms of nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson's sentencing record in child pornography cases. Bates noted on Twitter that Hawley's complaints had been fact-checked by a number of mainstream media outlets. Over the past two days of the judge's hearing, the Missouri has taken issue with seven child pornography cases where Jackson, who during her eight years as a trial judge sentenced more than 100 people, gave defendants lighter sentences than what the Department of Justice was seeking and was recommended by federal sentencing guidelines, which add up recommendations based on federal statutes.
