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.

True.
And that monotonous arrogant male voice of hers is like a nightmarish schoolmarm threatening to push us down an open pit behind school where no one can find us.
I don’t what Huma sees in her. Although her other lover is Carlos Danger. Some taste she has.
Run Hillary Run. Make p***y hats great again.
Chutzpah and hypocrisy on steroids!!
Hillary is like Satan quoting scripture.
Huma saw two things in Hillary Clinton.
Power and an easy mark.
In Weiner, I imagine she saw penis.
Only Donald Trump would have invited those four women. That’s why he won.
My opinion is that she knows it’s over and all the bitterness towards bj is starting to come out.
I don’t know where that came from. Should have read:
I agree, give Ford the benefit of the doubt then prosecute her for false reporting.
