CBS News Chelsea Clinton Q&A Comes Up Short


CBS “This Morning” interviewed Chelsea Clinton about the allegations of sexual misconduct against Supreme Court nominee, Judge Brett Kavanaugh, but failed to ask her about the multiple allegations against her father, former President Bill Clinton, on Wednesday.

According to NKTNetwork, Norah O’Donnell asked Chelsea Clinton what she thought about President Trump mocking Christine Blasey Ford’s testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee at a campaign event on Tuesday.

“I don’t think the president should be mocking anyone. I don’t think he should be mocking Dr. Ford. I don’t think he should be mocking a gold star family. I don’t think he should be mocking a disabled reporter,” Clinton said.

Gayle King followed up by asking Clinton what she thought about Kavanaugh’s testimony and his mention of the Clintons.

“Oh, my gosh, we loom so much larger in your mind than you loom, at least in mine,” Clinton said. “But to me what was so troubling was how nakedly partisan he was, and I think the principle of a judicial review being absent of partisanship is still really important.”

Clinton then said she doesn’t think that Kavanaugh, whose nomination she opposed from the beginning, should be confirmed to the Supreme Court.



In total, CBS “This Morning” spent more than three minutes discussing the allegations of sexual misconduct against Kavanaugh, yet never once asked Clinton about the multiple women who have accused her father of sexual misconduct throughout the years.
