Kellyanne Conway asked why the Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh confirmation vote was being delayed for Democrats who have already announced that they would not be voting for the judge.
Kellyanne made the comments to reporters outside the White House Friday morning. The counselor to the president said that she believes Democrats are “politicizing the process” of the Kavanaugh nomination by continuing to delay the nomination vote. Conway said that Kavanaugh would be telling the “truth” when he testifies on Monday next week.
“But any delay beyond that, by senators who already said they would vote against him, is politicizing the process,” Conway said, “It’s not fair to Kavanaugh. It’s probably not fair to Dr. Ford. It’s also not fair to get so little coverage of all the vile language and death threats being thrown at Judge Kavanaugh’s family.”
Over a dozen Senate Democrats have already declared that they would not vote for Kavanaugh, with many others leaning toward opposition. (RELATED: AT LEAST 22 DEMOCRATIC SENATORS HAVE ALREADY MADE UP THEIR MINDS AGAINST KAVANAUGH)
On Thursday, Debra Katz and Lisa Banks released a long list of conditions that need to be met by the Committee in order to have their client testify. One of those conditions was to testify on Thursday. Kellyanne called the conditions a “laundry list.”
“I think these conditions — I just heard a whole laundry list of them on CNN. Thanks for saying them. They’re growing. Seems they’re growing by the minute,” Kellyanne said.
The bombshell allegations of sexual assault against Kavanaugh have already delayed the confirmation vote by a whole week.
“By the way,” Kellyanne told reporters, “This man’s day job is — he has served a dozen years on the second highest court in the land. We’re missing that in all of the coverage, respectfully. And the president is defending his nominee. But that nominee needs to defend himself against what he says are uncategorically and unequivocally false allegations.”
President Trump tweeted Friday on the issue as well, asking, “The radical left lawyers want the FBI to get involved NOW. Why didn’t someone call the FBI 36 years ago?”
