During her confirmation hearings, Judge Jackson was asked about critical race theory.

USA TODAY OpinionUSA TODAY Opinion

One senator had the guts to ask a question during the confirmation hearing for the Supreme Court nominee.

Ted Cruz asked Jackson if she believed that babies are racist.

Some viewers wondered why a man who looks like he rubbed honey on his face would pose a question. The Earth briefly tilted off its axis as the collective eye roll was so intense.

I stood and cheered for the senator from Texas. He was speaking truth to power and addressing an issue few Americans have ever been willing to face: Babies are incredibly racist.

Extreme infant racism is common

I don't mean to be racist. I'm talking about bundles of hatred and racial animus. monsters are what they are

The baby apologists are crying.

That is ridiculous. They are so cute!

They have only been alive a few months.

I'm going to ask you this. When was the last time you heard a baby speak out against racism? Hmm?

Never. They are silent on the issue.

It is not voter fraud when former Trump aide MarkMeadows does it. It's true!

If babies aren't racist, and if a senator is serious, then they should fall down and assure everyone they don't.

That is Crisis Management 101.

Babies hate everyone

These suckers are coming out of the womb and hate everyone who doesn't look like them.

Think about it. They are wrapped in white sheets. Coo Cluck Klan? If you introduce a white baby to a person of color and then they leave the room, the baby will act as though the person no longer exists. If it's a black baby meeting a white person, that's the same thing.

object permanence is the idea that people continue to exist when you don't see or hear them. Babies don't develop that until they are eight months old.

You should be ashamed of your adult self, because that's called a "lame attempt to use science to excuse blatant baby racism."

Cruz took precious moments of his and our lives and devoted that time to ask a brilliant and widely respected judge about the reality of widespread, virulent racism among recently born humans.

Are kid books denying baby racism?

A book called Antiracist Baby suggests that it is possible for a baby to not be racist. All babies are definitely racist. How can we allow someone on the Supreme Court if she doesn't know what baby-washing is?

I hope Cruz and other Republican senators keep questioning as the confirmation hearing continues.

Can the GOP fix itself? It might be helpful to be aware of democracy at home.

The book Horton Hears a Who attempts to gloss over the hostile infant who hates Whos. Is The Very Hungry Caterpillar an example of the supremacy of one race over others?

Yes on both counts.

It is high time someone in this country called out the vile, Machiavellian babies who have turned our day cares into playpens of hate.

Before Judge Jackson is confirmed, she must stand up, face the American people and say yes. Babies are racist. Thank you for the important question. Did you arrive in the same clown car?
