The Spin

Right narrative

Biden's narrow search is racist and clearly unconstitutional; he only vowed to appoint a Black female justice for political gain on the campaign trial. He should look for the best person to nominate rather than telling 94% of Americans they're ineligible for consideration.

American Spectator

Left narrative

The GOP are the racists; they're attacking the nominee's qualifications without knowing her identity. They didn't have problems with the nomination process when only right-wing bigots were being considered.
