Speaking with Chris Hayes on MSNBC on Thursday night, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand gave an exhibition of the some of the worst hypocrisy in recent memory, attacking Judge Brett Kavanaugh for his “partisan attacks” during his testimony at his hearing on Thursday.
Gillibrand, it should be noted, said on the very night Kavanaugh was nominated by President Trump, “I strongly oppose Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination and I urge all New Yorkers to raise their voices and join me in opposing him. We need a justice who will protect the rights of all people in our state — not just some.” That same night, she was joined by fellow New York Sen. Chuck Schumer, who stated he would fight Kavanaugh’s nomination “with everything I have,” adding, “This nomination could alter the balance of the court in favor of powerful special interests and against working families for a generation and would take away labor, civil, and human rights from millions of Americans. We cannot let that happen. If we can successfully block this nomination, it could lead to a more independent, moderate selection that both parties could support.”
