CNN Panel Uses McSally Testimony to Attack Trump, Trash McSally's Decision to Support Kavanaugh

A Senate Armed Services Committee hearing took an unexpected turn Wednesday when Arizona Senator Martha McSally announced that she was raped by a senior officer during her time in the Air Force.  Not surprisingly, two liberal guests on CNN’s The Lead used McSally’s testimony as an excuse to attack President Trump and even McSally herself.  Tiffany Cross of The Beat DC stressed that the “safety of women should matter to all people” before arguing that McSally’s testimony “does beg the question how some Republicans stand by this President who himself is accused of sexually assaulting over 20 women.”  After making a blatantly partisan statement, Cross made a Freudian slip; arguing that the issue “shouldn’t be bipartisan,” likely meaning to say “should be bipartisan.”  Former State Department Spokeswoman Jen Psaki praised McSally for “using her platform for good” before trashing her decision to support Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, which she described as “hard to grapple with.”
