[See NewsBusters for more.] On Friday’s CNN Newsroom, White House correspondent John Harwood said that Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s opposition to President Biden’s nomination of Ketanji Brown to the Supreme Court Jackson on the grounds she is going to be a reliable liberal is not a substantive criticism.

Host Bianna Golodryga asked Harwood to comment on how the GOP will approach the hearings and McConnell’s claim that Jackson was the pick of left-wing dark money groups, “On the one hand, maybe it’s not surprising to hear from—from-- Mitch McConnell some criticism there in describing her as—as-- an extremist, but that having been said, she was on—on-- the short list and—and-- top of that short list for a while now. Why are we just hearing this from him now?”
