Hillary Clinton on Brett Kavanaugh: "There's a lot to be concerned about"

Former Secretary of State and 2016 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton says that Judge Brett Kavanaugh's behavior during his testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee into allegations of sexual assault was "quite out of bounds" for a Supreme Court nominee.

"For anyone who believes there's such a thing as judicial temperament and that we want judges, particularly those on our highest court to approach issues, approach plaintiffs and defendants with a sense of fairness, that there's a lot to be concerned about," Clinton said in remarks at The Atlantic Festival in Washington on Tuesday.

Clinton said she couldn't remember any nominee during her time in the senate or with the most recent appointment by President Trump of Justice Neil Gorsuch "behaving in such a way" during senate testimony.

"We have not seen anything quiet like that for a long time...in this case, the performance, the behavior was quite out of bounds. I don't ever remember anything like that." She recalled her own experience testifying for over 11 hours at a hearing about the 2012 attacks on a U.S. diplomatic facility in Benghazi, Libya, and wondered about Kavanaugh's ability to be a fair justice in light of his emotional responses to senator's questions.
