Democrats Launch Smear Attacks on Amy Coney Barrett’s Adopted Children

JanR on the moderate democrats not stepping up and confronting the radical Democrats . . .

the moderates aren’t stepping up and confronting them . . .

Good point JanR.

These Democrat actions suggest to me anyway, that maybe these “moderates” are not as “moderate” as many people think.

Here is from a CNN oped hit piece . . . .

She has cast doubt on stare decisis – the principle that justices should follow legal precedents set by previous decisions.

So far, the public debate about faith and Barrett’s nomination has focused on her controversial 1998 law review paper about Catholic judges recusing themselves from cases where the law conflicts with the Catholic Church’s teaching. While that’s an important topic, the discussion has obscured a more important aspect of her nomination: how her extreme legal views . . .

Just for the record. Stare decisis is not set in stone. If it was we’d still have slavery. Recusing yourself for various things is a very standard option for judges too.

Its not exactly giving someone the benefit of a doubt but slamming their professionalism before he or she does a thing. That’s a smear.

they have already done it once, it isn’t a smear, it is knowing your players

The odd thing is that no one, including Trump has come up with an anti-Catholic smear. That stuff about Durbin asking Bennett if she was an ‘orthodox Catholic’? He was quoting her writing!

durbin even said religion shouldn’t be asked but did anyway. why defend him when he said he did it and gave an excuse why.

The odd thing is that no one, including Trump has come up with an anti-Catholic smear.

the dogma lives in you is a smear. it wasn’t said as a compliment.

Leftist Group Fueling Democrat Senate Campaigns Attacks Barrett Kids

The leftist PAC NextGen America’s Managing Director, John Lee Brougher, is behind attacks on Judge Amy Coney Barrett’s adopted children.

www.breitbart.com

. . NextGen America is a leftist Super PAC funded by billionaire Tom Steyer. Steyer, who ran for president as a Democrat in the 2020 presidential primaries but lost, now supports the Democrat Party’s nominee former Vice President Joe Biden and his running mate Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA).

NextGen America did not reply to a press request from Breitbart News about Brougher’s comments about Barrett’s family, his hiding of his Twitter account, and whether the Democrat senators and candidates the group supports are in on it with Brougher in attacking Barrett’s adopted children.

Democrat Senators who have had expenditures either on their behalf or against their opponent or both by NextGen America include Sens. Gary Peters (D-MI), Jacky Rosen (D-NV), Maggie Hassan (D-NH), Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV), Tammy Duckworth (D-IL), Tammy Baldwin (D-WI), and Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ). None of those senators’ staffers, asked Monday if they approve of the attacks Brougher leveled against Judge Barrett’s family…

They also did not answer whether they will continue to accept support from NextGen America . . .

NextGen America is also financially backing key Democrat candidates for U.S. Senate this year, like Theresa Greenfield in Iowa, Sara Gideon in Maine, and Mark Kelly in Arizona. None of those campaigns replied . . .

Before Brougher worked for Steyer’s group, he was the Chief Technology Officer for Texas Democrat Wendy Davis’s failed gubernatorial campaign. Davis, who is now running for the U.S. House against Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) in Texas, has not replied when asked if she condones such an attack by her former staffer . . .

Sen. Cotton of Arkansas told Breitbart News that these Democrat Senators and Senate candidates whom NextGen America has backed cannot be silent while taking money from a group engaged in such “vile” behavior.

“This disgusting, racist attack on Judge Barrett’s family, launched by the leader of a major Democratic dark money organization, is despicable,” Cotton said in a statement. “Every liberal politician who’s been a beneficiary of this group’s spending should condemn these vile comments without delay.”

Former Rep. Tim Huelskamp (R-KS), who also, like Barrett, has adopted two children from Haiti and now is a senior adviser to Catholic Vote and Catholics for Trump, told Breitbart News . . . that he was disgusted by the attacks.

“This is not just Twitter chatter from some people holed up in their basement,” Huelskamp said. “These are high-ranking Democrat Party officials who are going after her adopted children and suggesting they were somehow illegitimately taken from Haiti and somehow because she has a transracial family somehow they don’t like that. These are folks that are on the hill . . This [Houle] is a person that’s ran congressional campaigns and ran a gubernatorial campaign that’s making these statement. Then you mentioned the guy with NextGen America. That’s a billionaire presidential candidate . . .

www.breitbart.com

In other words, they claim
she hates blacks because
she lovingly adopts a couple of black children from Haiti.

How’s THAT for “logic”?

This suggests (to me) if she would have adopted white kids,
they’d be calling her racist for adopting white kids.
(That is how far down they have to reach to smear her.)

But now they are suggesting Amy Coney Barrett is racist because she adopted black children too.

She can’t win with these leftists.

I want to suggest to the readers here:

These guys don’t even believe themselves what they are saying.

They abuse their public platform and say these things to try to FOOL YOU! The voters.

Please don’t fall for this shenanigans. Don’t be the kind of gullible victim they want you to be.

And deviant sexual behavior support. At least the left nationally.

Democrats have pivoted to a new line of attack in Judge Amy Coney Barrett’s upcoming confirmation battle, declaring that the health of the American people, particularly those with pre-existing conditions, hangs in the balance, despite President Donald Trump vowing to protect them as part of his America First Health Plan.

Even prior to Trump formally announcing Barrett as his nominee, leftists launched a string of attacks, targeting her faith, family, and conservative positions. Immediately after the formal announcement, Democrat leaders began to tout their party’s last collective narrative, warning that confirming Barrett would jeopardize the future of health care in America . . .

they have already done it once

Who’s the ‘they’ we are talking about here? Pundits, legislators, people in the streets?

durbin even said religion shouldn’t be asked but did anyway. why defend him when he said he did it and gave an excuse why.

He was quoting Barrett’s articles. She brought up the subject.

he dogma lives in you is a smear. it wasn’t said as a compliment.

That sounds like a reach to me. Bid the judge feel insulted?

 

[Nepperhan]

Don’t be fooled. What the left is REALLY concerned about is ABORTION .

That’s a reach. Are you seeing into their heart of hearts? Do you admit the presence of a ‘dog whstle’ in this instance?

In other words, they claim
she hates blacks because
she lovingly adopts a couple of black children from Haiti.

Actually, it is a misguided view from the sixties which has been refuted that criticized cross-cultural adoptions. The key is for the adoptive family to have a multi-racial lifestyle.

This is one academic making an ignorant statement. That’s not the Democratic party going low.

This is the condemned smear:
"“As an adoptee, I need to know more about the circumstances of how Amy Coney Barrett came to adopt her children, and the treatment of them since,” Brougher wrote in a tweet. “Transracial adoption is fraught with trauma and potential for harm, and everything I see here is deeply concerning.”

That sounds a lot less than a smear. Brougher is not talking about her kids or what she did nor did not do. At worst, he’s making an ignorant inquiry.

People will find smears where they want to, I guess.

 

[Cathoholic]

Nepperhan . . .

Are you seeing into their heart of hearts?

No. I am seeing into their actions.

Do you think that the national Democrats do NOT give
the abortion issue (the Democrats are rabidly pro-abortion)
top priority regarding President Trump’s Supreme Court appointments??

Is that what you are suggesting here?

 

[Nepperhan]

Is that what you are suggesting here?

I’m suggesting you not jump to conclusions but wait and comment on what happens instead of predicting the worst. I’m suggesting that you also eschew from referring to individuals as ‘pro-abortion’. It is insulting and contrary to forum rules.

 

[Cathoholic]

Nepperhan . . .

I’m suggesting you not jump to conclusions . . .

I have years of the national Democrats supporting abortion to draw my conclusions from.

There is no “jump” here.

but wait and comment on what happens instead of predicting the worst.

I will do both. I will draw upon their record and see what is happening.

Why tell me what to post?

I have to have the same freedom to post as I see it too.

I’m suggesting that you also eschew from referring to individuals as ‘pro-abortion’.

This is a fact.
The national Democrats ARE pro-abortion.
I know. I left the party over this issue many years ago.

. . . The letter is unlikely to affect the party’s platform. Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden last year said he supports repealing the Hyde Amendment, which prevents Medicaid coverage of abortion. Biden had previously supported Hyde for several decades.

His running mate, Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.), has been a staunch defender of abortion rights. She has a 100 percent voting record according to NARAL Pro-Choice America, which scores members of Congress based on their votes on abortion rights issues.

• 20 years later, the FDA must lift restrictions on medication abortion…

A 2019 Pew Research study found that 70 percent of those who identify as or lean Democrat support the party’s position on abortion.

Language defending abortion rights has been part of every Democratic platform since Roe v. Wade was decided in 1973. The 1976 platform said it would be “undesirable” to overturn the court’s decision.

Platforms in the 1990s and 2000s focused on making abortions “safe, legal and rare” – a phrase used by former President Clinton during his 1992 campaign. But in 2016, the party adopted more proactive language, calling for a repeal of the Hyde Amendment and focusing on the concept of reproductive justice, or eliminating discrimination and barriers that disadvantage low-income women and women of color in seeking reproductive health care, including abortions.

Bold mine.

you know who the “they” are, the same ones who will be doing it this nomination, why act like this is new content?

He was quoting Barrett’s articles. She brought up the subject.

he spoke about using religion, he said it shouldn’t be used, he did anyway.

That sounds like a reach to me. Bid the judge feel insulted?

it would, but that doesn’t change the fact that it was a smear.

That’s a reach. Are you seeing into their heart of hearts?

people just need to listen to what they say

I agree with you completely. So is this election.

 

[KMC]

Its not exactly giving someone the benefit of a doubt but slamming their professionalism before he or she does a thing. That’s a smear.

The senators who questioned Kavanaugh showed a distinct lack of professionalism. I watched it. In an issue of “he said - she said”, without any corroborating evidence, they based they tone and demeanor on one thing: They “believed” the one with a uterus. (to be fair, I’m not sure they believed her…rather they felt they could exploit the situation for political expediency)

AND…those same hypocrites…have no interest in the claims of the woman accusing Joe Biden of sexual assault. (which lends credence to my point…its not really about the one particular woman…its about abortion)

They lack fairness, they were rude, and thus it is fair to predict their future actions off of their past behavior.

No smear…just prior behavior

 

[choose_to_love]

As an aside, don’t you pretty regularly criticize anything from certain sites as not credible due to partisanship, but then you cite Mother Jones? Really?

Sure! I think we can take from the quoted passage what we want. there was not much partisan statement, was there? It was more informational.

As folks here said of Trump’s infidelities: “That’s all in the past.”

In the past, but reasonable to think their spots have not changed. They’ll have to earn back the “professionalism” designation…I’m not hopeful.

 

[Victoria33]

Mother Jones is worse.

And by the way, the Democratic party is very much joined to Planned Parenthood, supporting the Democratic party is supporting the horrors of abortion.

This is much worse than always talking about Mother Jones or about Breitbart whichever.

I think it is immoral.

And so is infanticide which is what Butigieg, Obama and so on have discussed.
