Kavanaugh's audience should have been & # 039; dignified, & # 039; but the judge's behavior was not: Senator
Senator Amy Klobuchar, who was at the center of one of the most tense moments of the Senate confirmation hearing of Brett Kavanaugh, said the judge's behavior would not have been allowed in court.
The Minnesota senator, who was a prosecutor before becoming a politician, confronted Kavanaugh to see if he had ever refused to drink. Kavanaugh had been accused by Christine Blasey Ford, a teacher from California, of being drunk and trying to rape her when they were teenagers in the eighties.
In response, Kavanaugh, who denied the accusations, passed the question to Klobuchar and asked him if he had ever run out of drinks. Then he apologized for the question, but it did not go unnoticed.
"The first thing I thought was that if I appeared before him in court, he would have thrown me out of the room, but I appreciated that he had apologized." But at the same time, this is supposed to be a decent procedure and that's not how it was acting, "Klobuchar said in" The View "on Thursday morning.
Klobuchar voted against the nomination of Kavanaugh, like all his fellow Democrats in the Senate Judiciary Committee. She said that her vote was not political.
"I think we could have had someone more independent," he said.

Thursday's discussion revolved around the prevalence, or lack thereof, of bipartisanship in Washington. Klobuchar said that despite requests by Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham to apologize to Kavanaugh, she did not, she spoke with the Republican from South Carolina and they continue to work together.
"If you just go through the opposite corners of the boxing rings, you never do anything," he told the co-hosts.
"The value is if you are willing to stand next to someone with whom you do not always agree with the improvement of the country," he said.
Another Republican she crossed the aisle to work with was the late Senator John McCain, the father of "The View" host Meghan McCain.

Klobuchar recalled how, during international travel, McCain always insisted that foreign leaders with a reputation for treating women unequally showed him the respect he deserved.
"He was a mentor," Klobuchar said.
She also remembered how he supported her and was willing to make fun of her. After making appearances on news shows, she said McCain would call her to criticize her political views.
"It's okay, you did a very good job, for a communist!" Klobuchar said McCain would say in a message.
"He just had this joy, enthusiasm and fun," he said.
When asked if he was thinking about throwing his hat in the ring as a possible Democratic presidential candidate in 2020, Klobuchar refused to take the bait.
"I'm focused on Minnesota, we have a lot of great races there and that matters," he said.
