But it was her views on race that tripped her up during her confirmation hearing on Wednesday.
When she was asked the seemingly rhetorical question of whether she agreed with the 1954 Supreme Court ruling Brown v Board Of Education — you know, the one that struck down segregation laws and allowed black and white students to go to school together — she hemmed and hawed about getting into a “difficult area.”
Watch the awkwardness (below)!
