Chelsea Clinton says it was troubling how "nakedly partisan" Kavanaugh was in testimony
Chelsea Clinton says it was troubling how "nakedly partisan" Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh was during his Senate testimony last week.
During his opening statement before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday, Kavanaugh blamed Democrats for "a calculated and orchestrated political hit" against him fueled in part by "revenge on behalf of the Clintons." He spoke after Christine Blasey Ford, who has accused Kavanaugh of sexual assault, was questioned by the committee.
When the former first daughter heard this, she said she thought, "Oh, my gosh, we loom so much larger in your mind than you loom, at least in mine," Clinton said Wednesday on "CBS This Morning."
"I think the principle of a judicial review being absent of partisanship is still really important," she said. "So if he had gone after President Bush or President Reagan's family, I'd feel the same way. ... I just don't think that that is healthy as a dynamic on the Supreme Court or, really candidly, any court."
