"If we would have said three weeks ago, Blake, if we had said that that Joy Reid and Michelle Obama and Sheila Jackson Lee and Ketanji Brown Jackson were affirmative-action picks, we would have been called rrrrrrrr-racist.' But now they're comin' out and they're saying it for us! They're comin' out and they're saying, I'm only here because of affirmative action."
"PHILLIP: You were in the White House when Donald Trump said he was going to put a woman on the Supreme Court and then he picked Amy Coney Barrett. Is she not qualified? GIDLEY: She is extremely qualified. PHILLIP: Okay. So, why is qualified but Ketanji Brown Jackson is not? GIDLEY: He talked about the qualification as well. What I'm saying is, in that clear directive from Joe Biden, in the clear directive from those companies, they're saying we are filling the quota."
Abby Phillip challenged Hogan Gidley and Brad Todd about Charlie Kirk's 2023 commentary asserting that prominent Black women — Joy Reid, Michelle Obama, Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, and Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson — were affirmative-action picks lacking the "brain processing power" to be taken seriously. Kirk suggested those women "stole a white person's slot" to be somewhat respected. Phillip questioned why Amy Coney Barrett was deemed qualified while Ketanji Brown Jackson was dismissed. Gidley called Barrett "extremely qualified" and argued Biden and companies were "filling the quota." Kirk's remarks have been scrutinized following his killing.
