Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) signaled in an interview published Thursday that decades-old sexual misconduct allegations against Brett Kavanaugh will not play a major role in his vote on the judge’s Supreme Court confirmation.
Manchin, a key Democrat swing vote, lamented the Senate Judiciary Committee’s handling of its investigation into allegations against Kavanaugh, describing the previous few weeks as “horrible†and a “circus.â€
“I am looking at the gentleman as an adult from 22 to 53, thirty-one years of professional service,†Manchin told Al-Jazeera. “I am looking at him as a father. As a person in a community, how he interacts with his community. I am trying to put the human side to it.â€
The red state Democrat made similar remarks told Fox News’ Chad Pergram Wednesday afternoon.
