In an interview with CNN published Tuesday, failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton said that, with the confirmation of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, President Trump has undermined the integrity of the Court and that it’s time for Democrats to be “tougher” with their opponents.
“You cannot be civil with a political party that wants to destroy what you stand for, what you care about,” Clinton told CNN’s Christiane Amanpour. “That’s why I believe, if we are fortunate enough to win back the House and or the Senate, that’s when civility can start again.”
Clinton said that Senate Republicans under Majority Leader Mitch McConnell “demeaned the confirmation process” and “insulted and attacked” Christine Blasey Ford, who accused Kavanaugh of a sexual assault committed decades ago.
