Lawrence O'Donnell: Brett Kavanaugh Can't Get Off Talking Points | The Last Word | MSNBC
In a recent episode of "The Last Word" on MSNBC, host Lawrence O'Donnell analyzed Brett Kavanaugh's appearance on Fox News during which he repeatedly employed pre-prepared talking points, failing to address pertinent questions regarding his nomination to the Supreme Court. O'Donnell emphasized that Kavanaugh's responses were almost robotic, suggesting a lack of genuine engagement with the inquiries posed to him.
Throughout the interview, Kavanaugh maintained a rigid defense, asserting that he has "never sexually assaulted anyone," a line he reiterated multiple times despite being asked various questions. This repetitive approach appeared to be a strategy to deflect attention away from the allegations he was facing, indicating a calculated attempt to control the narrative surrounding his confirmation.
O'Donnell pointed out a significant moment in the interview where Kavanaugh's wife, Ashley, was asked a direct question about the necessity of an FBI investigation into the allegations against him. Kavanaugh did not allow her to reply, showcasing an evasive tactic that reflects the broader communication strategy employed throughout the confirmation process.
The segment also touched on the surrounding political implications, highlighting how the Republican party’s unexpected turmoil regarding Kavanaugh's nomination underscored a growing unease within their ranks. As new allegations continued to surface, suggesting a pattern of unprofessional and biased conduct within the committee handling Kavanaugh’s nomination, O'Donnell speculated on the potential fallout.
This analysis resonates with ongoing discussions about the confirmation of Supreme Court judges and the dynamics of political power plays in Washington. The implications of Kavanaugh's nomination extend beyond an individual candidate, touching upon issues of integrity, accountability, and the politicization of the judiciary.
In conclusion, O'Donnell urges viewers to pay attention to the contradictions and the persistent narrative Kavanaugh spins, which he argues must not overshadow the critical nature of the allegations and the need for thorough investigation.
