CNBC’s Harwood: Everyone Knows the Answer Kavanaugh Gave on Renata Alumni and the ‘Ralph City Club’ Were Not ‘Straight Answers’

RUSH EXCERPT:

HARWOOD: "Well, for sure, because that’s not the behavior we expect from Supreme Court justices. Let’s talk a little about the broader context. We are in a permanent partisan war between the two parties, so that is expected. But they came at it from different perspectives. The Republican constituency and appeal is disproportionately male. The Democrats disproportionately female. They had different perspectives on the issue. Republicans, Republican men, tend to think this issue is unfair, that it’s exaggerated, that boys will be boys. I think then within that Republican constituency, and that’s all that Brett Kavanaugh was appealing to — he wasn’t appealing to Democrats — there is a feeling that this is simply a tool rather than a real issue. From Brett Kavanaugh’s perspective — and he betrayed this in a bunch of his answers, he thinks they are trying to trip me up on stuff that everybody does and out to be out of bounds. I was a boy in high school and college. I did my thing. That shouldn’t count now. So when he gets questions — remember his exchange with Amy klobuchar. She said, have you ever blacked out drunk. He said, I don’t know, have you? That is a suggestion that there’s sort of — I’m being prosecuted for — I’m being accused of stuff that everybody did, and it’s not right. It shouldn’t count. Therefore he felt he had license to be disingenuous or dishonest about some of those things, about what his yearbook entries meant. Everybody knows that the stuff he was saying about Renata alumni and Ralph city club, those were not straight answers. That’s obvious. I think the reason is he felt it was unjust.
