    McConnell says Kavanaugh got “a little testy at the hearing,” which is understandable because Democrats "drug him through the mud."

        I cannot bring myself to repeat the vulgar questions Kavanaugh asked of Bill Clinton.

        I wonder what McConnell would have said if Hillary Clinton had taken a similar tone with her Congressional interrogators.

        Unfortunate phrasing from McConnell...drug, instead of dragged...I mean, ‘cocaine Mitch’ and all.

        Did he forget the Kavanaugh wrote his opening statement and was pretty testy before Senators even questioned him?

        Nah, Kavanaugh was over the top right out of the gate. His demeanor was argumentative, disparaging, and threatening. His attitude was an “how dare YOU question me.” And his comportment verged on the unhinged. He didn’t need Democrats to reveal who he is.

        I can't wait till Mitch is "drug through the muck" of his own criminal actions. Granny Turtle will be a very popular inmate in - hopefully, a Kentucky - prison 😂

        More than understandable. He was attacked and could still very well be ruined by a lying women. He showed and continues to show unbelievable restraint. I could not say the same for myself. His confirmation wont be enough justice, she should be jailed for this.

        Constraint? He dodged questions, went from getting angry to crying, and was condescending to senators asking questions. If he has nothing to hide, agree to a full investigation. But he won't agree. He has too much to hide about all of his blatant lies.

        Democrats didn't do anything to #Kavanaugh. Dr. Ford is a credible person alleging sexual assault by a #SCOTUS nominee. That required a hearing and at that hearing disturbing things were naturally discussed. He then showed himself to be a partisan hack. That's what happened.
