BarbWire, a right-wing media platform run by anti-LGBTQ activist Matt Barber, ran a commentary on Wednesday morning praising Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh’s “America First” record.
The author, blogger Arthur Schaper, credited anti-immigration pundit Ann Coulter for having promoted Kavanaugh: “She argued consistently that he was the best candidate for advancing the ‘America First’ agenda.” Among the cases Schaper cited is a workers’ rights case in which Kavanaugh dissented, “writing that illegal aliens do not count as workers in a labor union because they are not citizens.”
“This judicial vetting process that led to Judge Brett Kavanaugh is the first time to my knowledge that the President, the political class, and the public at large applied an immigration litmus test,” Schaper wrote.
“The rule of law is at stake, especially in the blue bastions of resistance like California and New York,” said Schaper. “This country needs a federal judiciary ready to challenge this regional rebellion.”
“Trump could have but didn’t choose a ‘consensus’ choice,” Schaper wrote. “Kavanaugh has a definitive, controversial, and consistently conservative record.”
The BarbWire column praised Kavanaugh for not being “afraid to be a losing dissenter”—which is true, as People For the American Way’s recent report on Kavanaugh’s troubling dissents makes clear.
BarbWire describes itself as presenting news and opinion “from a decidedly biblical worldview.” From its website:
BarbWire.com is a motley mix of breaking news, intelligent cultural analysis, political pontification and cutting-edge opinion – all fueled by the Word of Life.
If you’re comfortable under deception, prepare to be made uncomfortable. We’re cutting free the totalitarian left’s barbwire.
