Hawley made clear he has never supported a high court nominee with a similar record in child porn sentencing cases."Not for this court I haven't, not for the U.S. Supreme Court," Hawley told ABC's Rachel Scott when asked whether his criticism of Judge Jackson presented a double standard.
ABC News provided the judges' names and cases to Hawley's office but have not received a response or explanation of why the senator was not aware of the sentencing records of the Trump appointees at the time of his votes.
