IT HAS REACHED THE POINT THAT EVERY TIME THE PRESIDENT NOMINATES OR SUPPORTS A REPUBLICAN THE LEFTIST MEDIA LABELS THEM RACIST. Then the Democrat MOB calls then racist. The word has lost all meaning. It's reached the point where it is a badge of Honor

There has to be Voter ID to help cut corruption.

Another 'perfect' fit for the Trump agenda, to undo America's progress and turn to isolationism.

CALL HIM RACIST. Thank you.

Sickening

If it was wrong for Farr to defend voting laws that were bad, is it wrong for lawyers to defend murderers and rapists?

GOP, the party of racists.

It's like auditioning for the klan

And of course VP * votes yes to break the tie on moving the overtly racist Farr forward. Why? Because Pence, just like the rest of the White Nationalist Party (formerly GOP), is a racist. That simple. Oh, & he's a creepy trump cultist. Gross Racist Illegitimate TrumpTrash

So there’s all of a sudden a urgency to fill a judge seat that’s been empty for 12 years? Oh okay 🙄

Trump stooge!

Seems like NOW would be good time for SenateGOP SenMajLdr potus to decide if they ever want2 pass any meaningful legislation again! Can't do it w/o HouseDemocrats ; time to decide if they really want to go AGAINST the will of the people &put a BLATANT RACIST on the bench!

The Republikkkan party is the party of bigotry.

And... SenatorTimScott sells his soul

Based on their judicial picks, Republicans will never get my vote again. I have voted for individual Republicans in the past, but won't be doing that again. They have gotten so comfortable with dirty tactics as a means of winning that they no longer bother with real policies.

tom and cindy will make a cute couple with their pointy white hats. make every day halloween.

Farr is a complete and utter Confederate style racist who was responsible for gerrymandering the state of NC. My god, he will be ruling on cases with people of color, which he has spent his entire life trying to damage severely in every way possible.

Sen. Tim Scott is a traitor to his race.

Republicans do this because they don't care about the minority votes. They have given up supporting minorities, they now vow to disenfranchise as many as possible.

Another old white man.

Stop fucking saying 'racially charged'

Hi can you please retire the phrase 'racially charged' please and thanks

Not Guilty !
