Rachel Maddow decided that SOMEHOW it was a good idea to talk to HILLARY FREAKING CLINTON about accusations against Brett Kavanaugh.
Are you KIDDING me, Rachel?
DO YOU FORGET WHO HILLARY IS MARRIED TO?!
And what is Hillary THINKING? Sit this one OUT, girlfriend. Seriously… this is a can you DO NOT want to open.
Watch. It’s absolutely pathetic:
Hillary says that Christine Blasey Ford’s demand for a “full investigation” before she’ll talk to anyone is a “reasonable request.”
OF COURSE she does. Hillary wants Kavanaugh’s confirmation delayed as much as the rest of them. In her mind, SHE was supposed to nominate that judge, after all.
Maddow then brings up allegations against Bill…
and HOLY MOTHER OF AWKWARD:
“If he is absolutely innocent of this charge, if this didn’t happen the way Professor Blasey Ford says it did, and that is what Judge Kavanaugh asserts, do you think that the Senate is capable of giving him due process?” Maddow asked. “Allegations like this have — there are lots of allegories for this, and lots of times in politics. Your husband when he was president, faced allegations that were not the same as this, certainly, but had connections to these kinds of old allegations from years ago, and I know you had concerns at the time, your husband certainly had concerns at the time that he never really had due process to defend himself from allegations like this.”
On a dime, Clinton pivoted to talk about how Kavanaigh’s confirmation process has been rushed.
“Well, I think that you have to take each of these situations sort of on their own merits,” she demurred. “And what we have today is a process that has been rushed, that has been deliberately opaque, where information that the Congress, not just democratic senators, but all senators and the public deserve to see, that they were denied. So there has to be a set of standards.”
HOLY SPIN, BATMAN.
