Lawrence: New Evidence Shows Brett Kavanaugh Misled The Judiciary Committee | The Last Word | MSNBC
In a compelling segment from MSNBC's "The Last Word," Lawrence O'Donnell highlights emerging evidence that suggests Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh misled the Senate Judiciary Committee during his confirmation hearings. This video delves into recent reports by the New York Times which have intensified scrutiny surrounding Kavanaugh's past, particularly regarding his drinking habits and accusations of sexual assault.
O'Donnell presents a narrative that connects Kavanaugh's behavior in high school and college with the serious allegations raised by Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, who accused him of attempted rape. He emphasizes the contradictions in Kavanaugh's statements concerning his drinking, suggesting that Kavanaugh's evasiveness may indicate a deeper issue with truthfulness regarding his past actions. The segment draws from chilling remarks made by Donald Trump at a rally where he mocked Dr. Ford, turning a serious assault allegation into a joke, which O'Donnell condemns as "presidential pornography."
Throughout the video, O'Donnell extracts vivid evidence from a letter written by Kavanaugh to friends about a beach trip, where he jokingly referenced their reckless drinking, calling himself and others "loud, obnoxious drunks." This contradiction to Kavanaugh's claims of being a moderate drinker raises vital questions about his credibility.
As O'Donnell argues, the recent revelations not only challenge Kavanaugh's integrity but also serve as a reflection of the broader issues of accountability and truth in public office. He concludes that every new detail that emerges undermines Kavanaugh's testimonies, reaffirming the call for a thorough investigation into his past conduct.
