NBC News' Yamiche Alcindor troubled by 'unsettling development' during Senate vote on Ketanji Brown Jackson

The U.S. Senate voted today to confirm Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court. Judge Jackson was confirmed with the help of three Republican “yes” votes:

The final vote total was slightly delayed:

Vote to confirm Jackson still open. All but one senator has vote: GOP KY Sen Rand Paul

Senator Paul eventually voted:

Sen. Rand Paul shows up, votes no

After that, right on cue, Yamiche Alcindor of NBC News and PBS did her “journalism” thing:

NBC's Yamiche Alcindor says Rand Paul's delayed vote on Ketanji Brown Jackson was "an unusual" and "unsettling development" that "remind[ed]" her of "conversations" with "Black woman who say they've had to navigate…hurdles…indignities in order to achieve what they want." pic.twitter.com/eUS246cGys

Did anybody not expect this particular “journalist” to take that approach?

Wish the anchor would ask Yamiche if the name Janice Rogers Brown means anything to her.

Instead, lefty “journalists” are just going to pretend it never happened.

Maybe most people don't want someone easy on pedophiles on the highest court in the land

OMG, it wasn't about her skin tone or gender! She was chosen by slow Joe because of that though, but she was objected to because of her record. So sick of this BS.

Alcindor was just doing her job as she sees it, which is to be a mouthpiece for the Democrats.
