Checked by PolitiFact24 Mar 2022United States Crime and security

Josh Hawley, Republican senator from Missouri

“Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson “gave child porn offenders sentences below the guidelines and below what the prosecutors were requesting,” showing she is “soft on child pornography offenders.”

PolitiFact rated this: Mostly False

PolitiFact says: Judge Jackson is a lot like other federal judges. Nationally, more than two-thirds of sentences in these cases are below federal guidelines. Prosecutors and judges often ignore the guidelines.

Josh Hawley, Senator (R-Mo..)

“Judge Jackson has a pattern of letting child porn offenders off the hook for their appalling crimes, both as a judge and as a policymaker.”

Washington Post rated this: Three Pinocchios

Washington Post says: With selective snips and out-of-context quotes, Hawley attacked the Supreme Court nominee.
