In an email, the Wiesenthal Center’s Rabbi Abraham Cooper told CBN News, “Beyond belief! The Washpost editorial page publishes cartoon dehumanizing Republicans as rats? That’s what Der Sturmer did in the 1930s. With this latest cartoon likening Republicans to treacherous and scheming rats, the Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist Ann Telnaes has been accused of dehumanizing Republicans in a way similar to Nazi propaganda. That makes their willingness to run such cartoons a concern. The Washington Post is anything but a bastion of conservatism, but it is still considered an institution of journalism despite its hatred for President Trump. One cartoon does not a propagandist make, but unfortunately, this is a practice by both the Post and Telnaes that has now crossed a line, regardless of their intentions. Congress members who collaborated with President Trump in his attempt to subvert the Constitution and stay in office.” The cartoon drew criticism due to the historical context of Nazi propaganda that dehumanized Jews before sending them as a group to death camps. Telnaes described the cartoon as “All of the state attorneys general and U.S.
The cartoon, titled “All the Republican rats,” featured a name next to each “rat” and took up nearly an entire page of the paper. The Washington Post recently ran a cartoon by editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes that depicted more than 100 Republicans as scheming rats. Ted Cruz’s daughters as monkeys and the Post published the cartoon, before retracting it. Telnaes has created multiple cartoons featuring Republicans as rats.The Washington Post published a political cartoon by Telnaes depicting Republicans as rats.Unfortunately, this is not an isolated incident by Telnaes or the Post.

Perhaps Tuesday’s performances will win Hawley, Cotton, and Cruz voters in a future Republican presidential primary, but they are unlikely to dent Jackson’s prospects of elevation to the high court. Sentencing Commission found that judges gave these nonproduction child-porn offenders sentences below the guideline range 70 percent of the time. As the Post reported, “A 2010 survey showed 71 percent of judges said the mandatory minimums for receipt of images were too high.” Further, a 2021 report by the U.S. As the Washington Post’s Fact Checker noted, it is a widespread view in the judiciary that these sentencing guidelines are too harsh and judges often depart from them. McCarthy, wrote in National Review that he would oppose Jackson on many grounds, “but the implication that she has a soft spot for ‘sex offenders’ who ‘prey on children’ because she argued against a severe mandatory-minimum prison sentence for the receipt and distribution of pornographic images is a smear.” As McCarthy noted, those mandatory minimums have not been updated in more than a decade, and even the most hardened prosecutors often argue for leniency for younger perpetrators, as did Jackson, because of the nature of the crime and the distorted nature of the current guidelines.

One line of attack-the QAnon-whistling suggestion that Jackson is soft on child predators-has previously been refuted by the conservative National Review as a “smear” that is “meritless to the point of demagoguery.” Cruz also spent significant time on “critical race theory,” distorting aspects of the judge’s record in a way that turned the hearing into a culture-war spectacle. Cruz, Cotton, and Hawley spent their rounds of questioning theatrically fearmongering around pet issues that animate the conservative base. It’s relevant that these are the three most high-profile Republicans on the committee with future presidential aspirations. Some of the GOP’s questioners lived up to that standard, but there were three notable exceptions: Sens. On Monday, Jackson was promised a “respectful” and “dignified” hearing from Senate Republicans. Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson faced hours of questioning from the Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday, the second day of her confirmation hearings to replace the retiring Justice Stephen Breyer on the Supreme Court.
