Senator Mazie Hirono tells CNN's Jake Tapper that she views Brett Kavanaugh's credibility as questionable based on his judicial philosophy and past rulings. When confronted with the fact that Ford's named witnesses do not corroborate her story, Hirono pivots to Kavanaugh's stance on reproductive rights. The hosts note that Hirono avoids addressing the lack of evidence for the specific assault allegation.
The hosts discuss a 1983 letter written by Brett Kavanaugh regarding "beach week," in which he referred to himself and friends as "loud, obnoxious drunks." They mock the media's "Nancy Drew" style investigation into the nickname "Bart" and debate whether Trump actually wants Kavanaugh confirmed or if he would prefer to move on to another candidate like Amy Coney Barrett.
FBI Background Checks, White House Investigation Role
The debate over whether the FBI should investigate the allegations against Kavanaugh centers on the White House's authority to request an expanded background check. President Trump noted that Kavanaugh had already undergone six thorough investigations. The hosts suggest that demanding a new investigation is an implicit insult to the FBI's prior vetting process.
