There is nothing Judge Brett Kavanaugh can do to clear his name in the eyes of the ravenous liberal media. Even his interview on Fox News, where he defended himself and his reputation from the dubious allegations, drew the ire of those who wanted his nomination to fail. During Tuesday’s MTP Daily on MSNBC, host Chuck Todd slapped the Supreme Court nominee with a “partisan warrior” label for the effort.
Todd began the program by decrying the “all-out PR blitz” “aimed at trying to ram through” Kavanaugh’s nomination. He told viewers it was “a shock and awe strategy” filled with “Trump-style playbook of denials, counter-strikes, claims of a vast left-wing conspiracy, and overt attacks on Kavanaugh's accusers”.
After playing clips of White House officials and Republican leaders defending Kavanaugh, Todd lambasted the Judge for his Fox News interview. “And folks, pretty much everything you've heard follows Kavanaugh himself playing something that I don't think that we've ever seen a Support Court nominee do, playing the part of partisan warrior by going on Fox News last night,” he chided.
During a discussion between Washington Post columnist Ruth Marcus and Free Beacon Editor in Chief Matthew Continetti, in which they brought up the interview, Todd interjected to take another shot at Kavanaugh. “[T]hat is what I'm curious about, this decision to do what no Supreme Court nominee has ever done. And it is to sort of fight for your life in the political square,” he told them.
