Richard Grenell, who served as Trump’s Acting Director of National Intelligence, and as Trump’s  Ambassador to Germany, was seen by at least one lawmaker in Berlin as a “biased propaganda machine.” On Thursday Grenell attacked President Biden by attacking another Democrat, former White House Press Secretary Joe Lockhart.Lockhart served as President Bill Clinton’s White House Press Secretary.

On Thursday he tweeted, “Ahead of the midterms, I look forward to watching every Republican Senator oppose the first black woman to the Supreme Court.”Earlier in the day Grenell posted a similar tweet:Asians, gays and Hispanics had no shot for a Supreme Court seat from Joe Biden.— Richard Grenell (@RichardGrenell) January 27, 2022Conservatives, including on the far right which Grenell has been accused of having ties to, have been falsely claiming it’s “racist” to choose a Supreme Court Justice who is Black and a woman.Those same conservatives are apparently ignorant of the fact that smart presidents, like smart managers, create a Supreme Court team.

There’s no such things as “the most qualified,” nor is there any way, any right way, to measure. Presidents, smart presidents, want justices who are young so they can have a decades-long impact on the nation and its future.

They want great minds who are able to work behind the scenes to win over their colleagues. And, unlike Republicans, they want justices who have the lived experiences of more and more Americans –because the law is not stagnant, despite what the originalists and textualists falsely claim.Here’s Grenell, attacking President Biden through Lockhart:Joe Lockhart celebrates barring Hispanics, Asians and gays for a Supreme Court seat.
