Thursday on MSNBC’s “All In,†Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) said she was “offended†by Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh’s testimony.
Gillibrand said, “I thought Dr. Blasey Ford’s testimony was incredible. I thought she was so heartfelt, she spoke her truth so passionately, with such candor, with such emotion. I was really inspired by what she did today. I thought the second half, though, was so discouraging. I thought the way Judge Kavanaugh started with partisan attacks, it really made me question his fitness for this office for the fact that he does not have the temperament or the character or honesty or integrity to be a Supreme Court justice. I was really disturbed by the second half of the hearing and disturbed by my Republican colleagues and how they acted and what they said.â€
She added, “He was so arrogant in how he spoke to senators, and dismissive. I was really offended by how he behaved at the hearing.â€

Yep, that's what Dems want. They want to do their political rape and have their target just shut the hell up, and 'put some ice on that.'
-
Defending oneself against the ruination of reputation by partisan thugs does not indicates a lack of temperament.
Gillibrand lacks character and class. If she feels miffed about Kav being dismissive towards her fellow august solons, she should look in the mirror.

She should be grateful she didn't party with him back in High School.

LOL. A slimy politician who spends everyday of her life lying and taking bribes from Soros thinks she is better than everyone else. That is rich.

You were supposed to be offended, you foul-mouthed whore.

I would give anything to be able to slap her.

Democrats ALWAYS overplay their hand.
This one hurt them for decades. For generations.
Wouldn't surprise me if Senator Diane Feinstein tearfully apologizes.
er....yeah, it would.

I used to love Paul Wellstone for his work promoting the GOP. Guess I will have to love a slut named Christine now for what she did.

Watch some boob like Bloomberg try to steal the party's nomination in 2020.
Somebody has to grab a mike and admit that the Democrat leadership has gone round the bend since Barack Obama.
Personally, I think we came 'THIS' close to be dealt with as irredeemables...if Hillary had won. They had/have it all in place.

I always get a chuckle of people claiming they can’t vote for someone based on an incident when they weren’t going to vote for them anyways

I meant to tell you this yesterday, @corbe but sometimes you aren't as funny as you think.

Kavanaugh wasn't some schmoe off the street. He is a sitting Federal Judge with a lifetime appointment to the D.C. Circuit -- the most influential court in the country beside the Supreme Court. Unlike Senators who are elected by a single state, Kavanaugh was confirmed to that lifetime appointment by the Senate as a whole. He was entitled to at least as much fairness and respect as were the Senators considering him for the Supreme Court.
He clearly did not get that. They publicly smeared his name to the media, their supporters, etc.., not to mention clear gaming of the process to delay a vote on his confirmation and to let these allegations fester before giving him a chance to rebut them.
He was nicer to them than they deserved.

Excellent point.

I'm offended that you're offended Kristin! How about them apples?

This reminds me of Barbara Boxer ripping into a General (I think) testifying before the Senate for something ... and he called her "Ma'am" instead of "Senator"
She really embarrassed herself that day.

Gillibrand said, “I thought Dr. Blasey Ford’s testimony was incredible.
Finally something I can agree with this broad about. :silly:

I think you need to back that up to since the time BJ Clinton was elected, everything since then is just a natural progression for them. Though my mother would say ever since JFK's bought and paid for election.

This is one way that Twitter can be used for disinformation purposes. Filipovic can make a provocative tweet to have confederates reply as angry Republicans, saying what they wish Republicans would say.
Is that what happened? I don't know but if it can be done then why wouldn't it be done?

Gillibrand: ‘I Was Really Offended’ by How Kavanaugh ‘Spoke to Senators’
Oh, you poor, poor, girl !!
-
“He was so arrogant in how he spoke to senators, and dismissive. I was really offended by how he behaved at the hearing.â€
It is us that should be offended by you, and others like you, who speak to all of us in the same manner.
Dismissive and arrogant.
Being a Senator doesn't give you any God given right not to be dressed down in public, if it calls for it.
No more than the rest of us.

I saw a funny reply to this on Twitter last night.
Someone posted: "Fine, you can open your own jars".

Dear Senator Gillibrand,
If you do not wish Judge Kavanaugh's tone to become the normal mode of speech by which people address Senators from your party, in the future Democrats in the Senate should refrain from engaging in character assassination. Perhaps you can lead the charge and encourage your fellows to avoid the practice even when a seat on the SCOTUS is at stake.
Sincerely,
A concerned citizen.
