Sen. Hirono on Kavanaugh Anger at Activist Groups Against Him: ‘A Conspiracy Theorist Is Not Someone Who Can Think Clearly’

RUSH EXCERPT:

HIRONO: "At the same time, I'm really glad that you focused on his temperament. The speech that he gave was reprinted as a law review article from which I quoted on the floor speech I gave Monday on the floor of the Senate. I believe that he did not, of course, it's not even a belief, he did not follow his own advice in his law review article, which is a judge should not be partisan, and he went on to talk about his demeanor, and his temperament. Clearly, he was so partisan, because he accused the Democrats of some kind of left wing conspiracy to do him in. Fortunately, he did not include Dr. Ford in that conspiracy, but it was bizarre that he would hold these kinds of conspiracy theory views. I expect a Supreme Court justice to think clearly. A conspiracy theorist is not somebody who is thinking clearly. Not to mention, his temperament. He said a judge should be calm in the middle of a storm. He exhibited little of that. And I would say that any woman, if Dr. Ford, who also has been under a lot of pressure and death threats, having to move her family, she was under a lot of pressure. But she comported herself with dignity and a very believable way. That certainly wasn't the case with Judge Kavanaugh."
