NNPA NEWSWIRE — The “soft on crime” strategy wasn’t a new way of weakening the power of Black public officials, but what was new was the particular subject matter Republicans focused on: Sexual violence. Five Republican Senators, Ted Cruz (R-TX), Josh Hawley (R-MO), Lindsey Graham (R-SC), Tom Cotton (R-AR) and Marsha Blackburn (R-OK) focused on the sentencing of seven cases related to child pornography and sex trafficking. The seven cases represented 1.6 percent of the 580 cases Judge Jackson has presided over.
