Former First Lady Hillary Clinton weighed into the controversy over Judge Brett Kavanaugh and the woman who's accusing him of sexual assault 35 years ago, Christine Ford.
Kavanaugh's accuser, Clinton said, deserves "the benefit of the doubt.
Here's a transcript of her remarks:
MADDOW: “If the Brett Kavanaugh nomination is now hurdling into the suns, which is what I think, and that’s just my take on it. I don’t know if that will be proven right or wrong, there is the question about how the Senate should handle this matter going forward. I mean, there is this screwy precedent now where Republicans would not let President Obama fill an opening on the supreme Court created by the death of Justice Scalia for nearly a year until they got another shot at the White House in the 2016 election.
"Some Republican senators during the election campaign said that if you were elected in 2016, they fully intended to hold that seat open for all four years if necessary to give a Republican another shot at holding it. Given that extreme recent history, do you think that Democrats should play that kind of hardball too, be prepared to use those kinds of tactics so as not to be sort of the Patsy being pushed around on this, or do you think Democrats should just go through regular order with whoever Trump has to put up next if the Kavanaugh nomination fails?”
CLINTON: “What I would like to see is a democratic majority that actually has the chance to make that choice right now the Democrats have very few tools at their disposal to stop the Republicans from going full speed ahead and engaging in the kind of unprecedented behavior as they did with the Garland nomination.

breating=breathing.
Didn’t the senate (against all rules of common sense) give her the opportunity to show up on Monday, the 24th and testify? Her 15 minutes of fame are already up. If she doesn’t show up to use her ADDITIONAL alloted 15 minutes, how is that anyone’s problem but hers?
HUH???????????
I say, “Keep talking, Broomhilda.” She’s the gift that keeps on giving.
If Hillary demands, I’ll give her the benefit of the doubt. I had been thinking she’s a deranged lunatic. But I’ll back off that and go with agenda-driven liar until we have more evidence of her mental condition.
You can't make this shit up.
“Hillary: Kavanaugh’s Accuser Deserves ‘the Benefit of the Doubt’
Not. But Hillary deserves the gallows.
There are over 7 billion people in the world. The only one with less credibility than Hillary to make that statement is Bill Clinton himself. And that is by a paper thin margin.
Yep, she is probably just deranged if not outright evil, but I doubt it.
“Instead of being in prison, Hillary is free and being listened to as if she is Winston Churchill.”
Hillary has had too much “Benefit of the Doubt” already! As others have posted, a rope is needed.
More appropriately, she "heavily" weighed in.
Hillary Clinton said Kavanaugh’s accuser deserves the benefit of the doubt. Hey Hillary, that’s a good trick! Now do Juanita Broderick, Kathleen Willey and Paula Jones! You can’t make this stuff up!
FUHRC! Your ticket to Hell is ready to be punched.
Indeed!!!
No Hillary, that’s not how this works.
It’s the accused that has the benefit of being presumed innocent until proven guilty.
Where’s ANY evidence this happened?
Hillary gave the Benghazi defenders no “benefit of doubt.” Nor did she give any of hubby Bill’s accusers any “benefit of doubt.” Pound sand, Hillary. And, please, just go away. Far, far away.
