Chelsea Clinton says it was troubling how "nakedly partisan" Kavanaugh was in testimony

Chelsea Clinton says it was troubling how "nakedly partisan" Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh was during his Senate testimony last week.

During his opening statement before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday, Kavanaugh blamed Democrats for "a calculated and orchestrated political hit" against him fueled in part by "revenge on behalf of the Clintons." He spoke after Christine Blasey Ford, who has accused Kavanaugh of sexual assault, was questioned by the committee.

When the former first daughter heard this, she said she thought, "Oh, my gosh, we loom so much larger in your mind than you loom, at least in mine," Clinton said Wednesday on "CBS This Morning."

"I think the principle of a judicial review being absent of partisanship is still really important," she said. "So if he had gone after President Bush or President Reagan's family, I'd feel the same way. ... I just don't think that that is healthy as a dynamic on the Supreme Court or, really candidly, any court."

Clinton said she doesn't agree with Kavanaugh's stance on workers' rights, women's rights, and the environment.

"Admittedly my opposition to him is rooted in policy. But I now am even more kind of intense in my feelings because of how political he's become," Clinton said.

So, all the attacks and negativity came from one side of the isle during the hearings, but nobody is supposed to note this.

Just hold your tongue, and pretend to be oblivious to the obvious. Right Chelsea?

Right, Chelsea. He should have shown more deference to the mob that was trying to crucify him.

I know this is a blatant partisan, ideologically driven statement.

But...Is this girl really stupid? This stupid?

The only thing that surprises me about Chelsea is that every I think she has said the dumbest thing I have ever heard, she comes through with something even worse. But then again so does Hillary.

The problem is, that once seen, it cannot be unseen!
