White House counselor Kellyanne Conway pointed out alleged Democratic hypocrisy on Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination during a Thursday morning interview on “Fox & Friends.”

“These folks — some of whom took campaign donations from Harvey Weinstein — palled around with Bill Cosby and going to jail for being a sexual predator for assaulting someone criminally. Three of them voting to refuse to move Bill Clinton from office for having sex with an intern right behind me in the Oval Office,” Conway said of the Democratic lawmakers.

Conway and President Donald Trump have vehemently attacked Democratic lawmakers for their handling of decades-old sexual assault allegations against Kavanaugh.

The original allegation against Kavanaugh was made known to Sen. Dianne Feinstein nearly a month before the confirmation hearing began. The allegation, however, did not surface publicly until after scheduled hearings were over.

Kavanaugh will now testify Thursday morning before the Senate Judiciary Committee after his accuser Dr. Christine Blasey Ford. Ford alleges that Kavanaugh assaulted her when they were both teenagers but she cannot remember key details. He will also likely be asked about two other women accusing him of sexual misconduct.
