9:35Now PlayingSenator Peter Welch challenged a Trump judicial nominee over controversial social media activity during a tense confirmation hearing. What began as a discussion about judicial recusals quickly escalated when Welch confronted the nominee about a reposted message dividing Americans into "patriots" and "traitors."
The senator repeatedly asked a simple question: who exactly did she believe those labels applied to? The nominee declined to provide a direct answer, leading to one of the most uncomfortable moments of the hearing.
Watch the full breakdown of this exchange and what it reveals about judicial independence, accountability, and the growing role of social media in confirmation battles.
Do you think old social media posts should matter when evaluating judicial nominees? Let us know in the comments.
