John Cornyn on Kavanaugh: She ‘Shouldn’t Be Expected to Just Take This Slander,’ He’s ‘Justified’ in Showing Anger

EXCERPT:

HEWITT: "And I think it’s because of his kids. Why do you, because that they are being so badly injured, and I’m just thinking 20, 30, 40 years from now, people will throw this at them, and Judge Kavanaugh knows that, and that’s why he’s angry. What do you think, Senator Cornyn?"

CORNYN: "I don’t blame him for being angry. And this ridiculous allegation that the Judge will somehow be partisan or not display the appropriate temperament on the bench, this man has been slandered, he’s been accused of multiple crimes, and he felt it was important to defend his good name. And I thought he handled it appropriately. There were a couple of times where I think, well, one time in particular where he asked Senator Klobuchar a question, and he came back and apologized for that, and I think that was the right thing to do. But he shouldn’t be expected just to take this slander, these allegations of criminal conduct, and ruining his reputation and good name and damaging his family. Anybody in that position who feels like they’ve been falsely accused, I think, would be angry and be justified in showing some of that anger."
