Right at the bottom of the third hour, Victor Davis Hanson had pointed out that the nomination\/confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett and her being sworn in by Clarence Thomas indicated what Republicans are really all about.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Push back against the bogus narrative that Conservatives are racist, sexist&#8230;we are the exact opposite!
