Kavanaugh tensions linger after bitter fight
Republican and Democratic senators say they’re ready to move on from the fight over Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation, but lingering tensions from one of the bitterest fights in recent Senate history are proving difficult to soothe.
Senate Republicans have seized on Kavanaugh to energize their base ahead of the midterm elections, blaming a liberal “mob” for going too far in the Supreme Court battle.
They’ve said GOP senators were “harassed” and “under assault” during the fight, pointing to incidents at airports, a Washington, D.C., restaurant and the Senate buildings themselves to argue that Democrats are out of control and should not be given power.
“This body … will not let unhinged tactics replace reasoned judgement. We will not let mob behavior drown out all the Americans who want to legitimately participate in the policymaking process, on all sides,” Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said Thursday from the Senate floor. “And the Senate, I assure you, will not be intimidated.”
