THREAD:
Donald Trump has nominated Amy Coney Barrett to the U.S Supreme Court. Here is an exchange form Sept 2017 between then Sen. Al Franken & Barrett regarding her choice to speak at the ADF. A group classified as a hate group by the SPLC. Barrett didn’t do well.
Pt1
#SCOTUS
Sen Al Franken: “Is it your habit of accepting money from organizations without first learning what they do?”

Amy Coney Barrett: “It has never been my practice to investigate all of the policy positions of a group that invites me to speak”

Sept 2017 hearing
Pt.2
#SCOTUS
Sen Al Franken: “So, you will speak to anyone who pays you? You don’t check out who they are?”

Amy Coney Barrett: “If i were invited to speak before a hate group like the KKK...”

Franken cuts her off: “sounds like the ADF is something of a hate group”
Pt.3
#SCOTUS
Sen Al Franken: “You spoke at an event sponsored by one of those hate groups. I question your judgement. The root word of judgement is JUDGE”

Amy Coney Barrett seems to think that because the ADF didn’t appear to be a hate group she had no reason to investigate them.
Pt4
#SCOTUS
Sen Al Franken: “I would vet whoever asked me to speak, whether I was speaking for free or I was being paid. It seems to me that this demonstrates extremely bad judgment”
