Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) on Sunday called a concurring opinion by Justice Clarence Thomas that upended race-based college admissions "profoundly disrespectful" when it came his disagreeing with fellow Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson. Anchor Dana Bash on CNN's "State of the Union" asked Ocasio-Cortez to weigh in on "a blistering debate" Thomas and Jackson, the court's only two Black justices, had in opinions when ultimately striking down affirmative action at colleges. Thomas wrote in response to Jackson that it was "unfathomable" for her to "label all Blacks as victims." "I mean, what Justice Clarence Thomas wrote there, I believe, is profoundly disrespectful. I just think it was profoundly disrespectful to his colleague. It includes sweeping assumptions about her worldview," Ocasio-Cortez said. |
