He’s right. I didn’t watch much of Kavanaugh’s hearings, and I thought that the clips from the Fox interview showed him to be a bit timid.
What was required was a “throw-away-the-script” moment a la Clarence Thomas who masterfully turned the tables on the Democrats at his hearing in 1991.
Surprise, surprise. The Judge had it in him. He belongs on The Supreme Court.
The looks on the faces of Biden, Kennedy and Simon were priceless. I'll never forget it.
“..showed him to be a bit timid....”
I watched it. He was ANYTHING BUT timid.
I would be very surprised if Thomas and the people that helped him didn’t help Kavanaugh as well.
A couple days ago he did an interview with Martha Maccallum of Fox News where he appeared somewhat passive. This was nothing more than a tactic aimed at LOWERING everyone's expectations of him for the hearing. BRILLIANT!
“I didn’t watch much of Kavanaugh’s hearings, and I thought that the clips from the Fox interview showed him to be a bit timid.”
your complete misunderstanding of the power of Kavanaugh’s lengthy defense essay is why we always watch these critical events live from beginning to end. if we can’t watch live, then we DVR and then watch ... if that’s not possible for you, then go watch Kavanaugh’s complete statement on youtube ... his speech was powerful, compelling, and tear-inducing ...
