THIS NETWORK.
THE FRUSTRATED JOY REID IS
LEADING OFF OUR DISCUSSION.
JOY, I FOLLOWED YOU ON TWITTER
LIVE TWEETING THE HEARING
TODAY.
I SAW THE PRECIOUS FEW MINUTES
YOU GOT AT THE END OF YOUR 7 PM
HOUR BECAUSE OF THE WAY THAT
THE TESTIMONY WENT TODAY.
AND I THOUGHT, JOY HAS A LOT
MORE TO SAY.
SO,, JOY I WE BEGIN WITH YOU.
THEY OPEN MIC.
GO AHEAD.
>> YOU ARE SO MERCIFUL,
LAWRENCE.
YOU CAN FEEL MY FRUSTRATION I
THINK THROUGH MY TWITTER FEED.
YOU, KNOW I WATCH THIS ALL DAY
AS YOU DID.
AND, LET ME JUST START WITH
WHAT WE KNOW.
FROM HAVING WATCHED THIS TODAY,
VERY QUICKLY.
SO WE KNOW THAT THESE SENATORS
DON'T KNOW THE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN WHAT JUDGES DO AND WHAT
THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO DO.
THEY KEPT QUESTIONING JUDGE
KETANJI BROWN-JACKSON ABOUT HER
IDEAS ON THE WAY LEGISLATION
SHOULD BE FORMED IN TERMS OF
SENTENCING GUIDELINES, THAT'S
THEIR JOB.
I HAVEN'T SEEN TOM COTTON'S
LEGISLATION OR ANY OF THEIR
LEGISLATION TRIED TO CHANGE
SENTENCING GUIDELINES AS YOU
JUST SHOWED.
WE KNOW THAT THEY DON'T CARE
ABOUT PROTECTING WOMEN AND
GIRLS.
WE KNOW THAT THEY DON'T CARE
ABOUT PROTECTING THEM FROM
THINGS LIKE RAPE OR CHILD
PORNOGRAPHY BECAUSE THEY FULLY
SUPPORT ONE JUSTICE WHO CAUSED
THE PHRASE, LONG JOHN SILVER TO
BE ENTERED INTO THE
CONGRESSIONAL RECORD, CLARENCE
THOMAS.
AND THEY FULLY SUPPORT JUSTICE
KAVANAUGH WHO WAS CREDIBLY
ACCUSED OF SEXUAL VIOLENCE
AGAINST A TEENAGER IN HIGH
SCHOOL.
SO WE HAVE A LOT OF JOSH HAWLEY
FULMINATING ABOUT PROTECTING
CHILDREN FROM FOR PORNOGRAPHY,
ETC, AND SOME CAUGHT GOING ON
ABOUT PROTECTING WOMEN AGAINST
RAPE, ETC.
THEY SUPPORTED FULLY JUSTICE
KAVANAUGH AND WERE OUTRAGED
THAT ANYONE WOULD ASK HIM ABOUT
THESE THREE CREDIBLE
ACCUSATIONS OF SEXUALLY
VIOLATING TEENAGERS AND COLLEGE
STUDENTS.
OKAY?
SO WE KNOW THEY DON'T REALLY
CARE ABOUT THAT.
THEY ALSO FULLY SUPPORT DONALD
TRUMP.
WHO HAS 26 ACCUSERS GOING ALL
THE WAY FROM HAVING LAYERED AT
TEENAGE GIRLS AT BEAUTY
PAGEANTS THAT HE WAS IN CHARGE
OF, TO RAPE, IN THE CASE OF E.
JEAN CARROLL.
ALL THE WAY UP TO THAT.
26 ACCUSING.
WE KNOW THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT
ANY OF THAT.
WE KNOW THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT
THE RULE OF LAW BECAUSE THEY
REFUSED TO CONVICT DONALD TRUMP
FOR FOMENTING A INSURRECTION
WHERE JOSH HAWLEY SUPPORTED HIS
--
THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT ANY OF.
THAT RULE OF, LAW THE LAW, NONE
OF.
IT WHAT THEY CARE ABOUT IS
PERFORMING.
BECAUSE THEIR REAL JOB, MUCH
LIKE MARJORIE GREENE, IS NOT TO
LEGISLATE, IT'S TO PERFORM.
TO PERFORM FOR THE FOX NEWS
AUDIENCE, TO PERFORM FOR
FAR-RIGHT VOTERS WHO ARE
TERRIFIED THAT THEIR CHILDREN
WILL LEARN THAT SLAVERY WAS BAD
AND THAT SLAVES WEREN'T HAPPY
AND SINGING IN THE FIELDS, THEY
ARE TERRIFIED.
SO THEY WANT TO PERFORM FOR
THAT AUDIENCE.
SO WHEN I SAW TODAY WAS THE
PERFORMANCE OF QANON.
IDEOLOGY.
TRYING TO TIE THIS WOMAN, WHO
HAS PERFECT INTEGRITY THAT
LINDSEY GRAHAM VOTED FOR TWICE
TO BE ON THE FEDERAL BENCH.
BECAUSE THEY KNOW IT'S GOING TO
ACTIVATE QANON VOTERS IN
NOVEMBER.
IT WAS REPULSIVE.
IT WAS PURELY THUGGISH.
IN MY VIEW.
>> SENATOR MCCASKILL, THROUGH
IT ALL, WE STILL SAW THE MOST
QUALIFIED SUPREME COURT NOMINEE
WHO'S EVER APPEARED IN A
TELEVISED CONFIRMATION HEARING.
>> FIRST OF ALL, I HATE TO
INTERRUPT JOY.
BECAUSE I KNOW SHE HAS A LOT
MORE TO SAY ABOUT THIS.
>> RIGHT!
>> LET ME START WITH A VERY
IMPORTANT PREMISE HERE.
THIS WOMAN THAT WAS IN FRONT OF
THE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE WAS
BRILLIANT.
ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT ON THE LAW,
IN HER DEMEANOR, THIS WAS A
WOMAN WEARING A VELVET GLOVE
WITH A STEAL SPINE.
SHE DID NOT LET THEM RATTLE HER,
SHE SHOWED HOW SHE WILL BE ABLE
TO GET ALONG WITH OTHERS, WHICH
IS IMPORTANT IN THE CROSS
CONFINES OF NINE JUSTICES ON
THE SUPREME COURT, TO TRY TO
WIN PEOPLE OVER TO YOUR
PERSPECTIVE ON CASES THAT COULD
GO EITHER WAY.
WE HOPE THAT WE WILL GET TO
THOSE CASES SOMEDAY.
SO I THINK THAT WE HAVE TO GIVE
A LOT OF CREDIT TO HER.
SECONDLY, THIS WAS A
WHACK-A-MOLE GAME OF HYPOCRISY.
EVERY TIME I THOUGHT THE
REPUBLICANS HAD REACHED A NEW
LEVEL OF HYPOCRISY, WHOOPS, UP
KIM AGAIN.
WHETHER IT WAS THEM LAMENT AND
DARK MONEY, GIVE ME A BREAK,
THE ONLY REASON WHY WE HAVE
DARK MONEY IS BECAUSE THEY HAVE
IT, THEY WON'T CLEAN IT, UP
WE'VE GIVEN THEM 1 MILLION
OPPORTUNITIES TO CLEAN IT UP.
THEY WON VOTE FRET.
THEY LOVE DARK MONEY.
THEY ARE THE PRINCES OF DARK
MONEY.
AND THE HYPOCRISY ABOUT
DOWNWARD SENTENCING FROM THE
GUIDELINES.
THEY HAVE SO MANY JUDGES
THEY'VE SUPPORTED AND THAT SIT
ON THE BENCH APPOINTED BY
REPUBLICANS, CONFIRMED BY THEM,
THAT HAVE HAD DOWN ROOTS
SENTENCES FROM THE GUIDELINES.
IF ANY OF THESE GUYS HAD EVER
BEEN IN A COURTROOM FOR A
SENTENCING, THEY WOULD KNOW
THIS IS NOT THAT UNUSUAL.
SO THEY CHERRY PICKED A COUPLE
OF CASES TO TRY TO MAKE AMERICA
BELIEVE THAT THIS MOTHER, THIS
AMAZING WOMAN SOMEHOW LIKES
PEDOPHILES AND CHILD
PORNOGRAPHERS.
NOBODY BELIEVES THAT EXCEPT
THAT LITTLE RIGID QANON CROWD
THAT THEY ARE ALL PLAYING TO.
