Brett Kavanaugh Kicked Off His Questioning by Being a Total Dick to Dianne Feinstein
After a lengthy, unhinged opening statement in which he attacked Democrats, the media, and even the Clintons, Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh calmed down momentarily for his first round of questions from the Senate Judiciary Committee—or in the case of the Republican members, their stand in, Rachel Mitchell.
But if Kavanaugh was trying to project the image of a rational, impartial figure who respects women, his first line of questioning from a Democratic woman was a total failure.
In a testy exchange with California Sen. Dianne Feinstein, Kavanaugh loudly raged against the committee, and repeatedly interrupted Feinstein, who calmly pushed Kavanaugh on whether he’d want an FBI investigation into his sexual assault charges.
“Senator, the committee investigates, it’s not for me to say how to do it,” Kavanaugh shot back.
