According to CNN’s Don Lemon and his new morning show co-hosts, “Recent Jeopardy! Clues Spark Debate, Controversy.” They were so mad that their chyron even bore the heading, “What is fury,” a play on a Jeopardy! to apparently expresses CNN’s “fury” over the offending clue and contestant ignorance. The clue asked for the name of “the first black woman on the Supreme Court and the first justice to have been a federal public defender.” The answer? Ketanji Brown Jackson, Biden’s “history-making” pick to replace Stephen Breyer. The trouble was that none of the Jeopardy! contestants knew the answer. Which means none of these super smart contestants knew the name of the first black woman on the Supreme Court of the United States, which CNN’s Don Lemon probably considers essential trivia. He probably thinks it’s such a huge deal that everyone in the entire country knows her name and can identify her picture. Seriously, the audacity of these smarty pants to not know the name of the first black female SCOTUS justice! Don Lemon is honestly shocked.

I think the problem is that Leftist media figures like Don Lemon are out of touch with real American interests and priorities. It’s really great that a black woman is on the Supreme Court. But specific identity politics issues aren’t nearly as big a deal to most Americans as people like Don Lemon think they should be.

I’ll bet the contestants knew the name of the “aunt” on the pancake mix that was cancelled. Or the “uncle” on a box of rice.
Maybe if the answer was: The 1st judge of the SCOTUS who cannot define what a woman is.
I confess I was surprised that not one of the three knew who she was. Her appointment and confirmation was all over the news for many weeks. But as a retired journalist, I can testify that millions of well educated people pay little or no attention to the news. I met a lot of them over the many years I was in that line of work.
I wonder if anyone would have gotten the correct question if they answer had been.
“This recently confirmed supreme court justice could not answer the question “What is a woman?” “
