Zina Bash is seated behind Supreme Court nominee, Brett Kavanaugh, during his confirmation hearing. She is flashing the common hand sign for "ok." She appears to be trolling non-racists with the sign as co-opted by the "white power" movement, because, this second time, she knew what people thought she was doing the previous time she made the sign in a different, but still strange and very visible way.

Hand Signals

Liars study
what honest people say.
They aim to mimic truth.
And we always forget.
Evil liars use our decency
against us, stroking
blood-soaked mercy the way
lecherous preachers do,
living on other people’s misery,
and living on it well,
before most of us even know.
