Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D., Conn.) said Tuesday that Brett Kavanaugh’s temperament disqualifies him from the Supreme Court and that Democrats should teach Americans to think likewise.
Blumenthal announced his opposition to Kavanaugh early on in the confirmation process and has said he believes Christine Blasey Ford’s accusation that Kavanaugh attempted to sexually assault her while they were in high school.
The senator said Democrats simply need to show the American people their reasons for opposing the nominee.
"I would continue to urge my colleagues to vote against him, and we need to educate the American people about the reasons for those decisions so that, in fact, they will be on the side of my colleagues," he said.
Blumenthal said this is the most important vote he can cast as a senator, and in the interview with MSNBC’s Katy Tur, he explained his ideological opposition to Kavanaugh. The senator said Kavanaugh would vote to overturn abortion and gay marriage rights.
