Tucker Carlson seemingly enjoys nothing more than stirring up some nonsense theory to discredit anything that stands in opposition to his narrow-minded views. The Fox News host took aim at President Joe Biden by shamelessly asking why didn’t he share the LSAT score of U.S. Supreme Court justice nominee Judge Kentanji Brown Jackson.
During a Wednesday night (March 2) broadcast, Carlson turned his attention towards President Biden’s nomination of Brown Jackson and stated that the American people should know if she is, in his words, a “once in a lifetime legal talent” as if her rise to the top was some kind of fluke. What makes this especially heinous on Carlson’s part is that Brown Jackson has been vetted by GOP superstars like Paul Ryan, and has enjoyed strong bipartisan support due to her record.
None of this is surprising as many observers knew that the flood of critiques and attacks on her character was heading in Brown Jackson’s direction, but her qualifications are more than notable. Carlson is sowing seeds of mistrust as Judge Brown Jackson ahead of her confirmation hearing in front of the U.S. Senate where she’ll need to win over staunch conservatives who hope that their advantage remains among the seats at the High Court.
On Twitter, folks rightly blasted Carlson for his ridiculous utterance regarding Judge Kentanji Brown Jackson’s LSAT score, with one user on Twitter remarking how doing so at the elite level of schooling Brown Jackson received is typically frowned upon.
We all know the real reason this punchable twit said what he did. Check out other reactions from Twitter below.

Number 1: Straight up racist.
Number 2: Right, we always hear about LSAT scores for Republican judges.
Number 3: LSAT scores are about getting into law school, not the quality of a legal mind.
Number 4: Trump's grades and taxes…
Number 5-100: Straight up racist. https://t.co/lvVYHzgQt3— Dan Rather (@DanRather) March 3, 2022

It's bad form at Harvard Law School to even *mention* your LSAT score and Tucker would know that if he wasn't an idiot frozen dinner scion who literally couldn't buy his way into Harvard or standardize test himself out of a paper bag. https://t.co/QgDmyyWtqw

Can anyone point me to the clip of Tucker asking for the LSAT scores from Gorsuch or Kavanaugh or Barrett or

They’ll be waiting a while.

I swear to God, President Obama was the smartest guy in the room, from Harvard, and they questioned his grades and birthplace.
Judge Brown is highly qualified, but Tucker wants her LSAT scores.
Where was this energy with Judge "I love beer" Brett Kavanaugh?

If they want to see Judge Jackson's LSAT scores we'd like to see boebert's GED, still not convinced she has one.

Judge Brown Jackson graduated Magna Cum Laude from Harvard, Cum Laude from Harvard Law, & was the editor of the Harvard Law review. She is the real deal. I’ve never heard “Tie Too Tight” ask about lsat scores for other nominees, but typical of those who feel a bit “inadequate.” https://t.co/GeU6qE1isG

Funny I don’t remember anyone demanding to hear Brett Kavanaugh’s LSAT score.
I also don’t remember anyone demanding to see Donald Trump’s long form birth certificate.

I fed myself a lot in my 20s teaching AP, SAT, GRE and LSAT prep. The Venn diagram of people who spend lavishly on those services and people who perk up at Tucker's racist LSAT diatribe is *almost* a perfect circle

Remember when Tucker Carlson demanded to see the LSAT scores of Gorsuch, Kavanaugh & Amy Coney Barrett?
You do not.
Because He-Who-Tucks is so racist he reads the Dred Scott Decision as foreplay.
