Jeff Flake on Kavanaugh's ‘Sharp and Partisan’ Temperament: ‘We Can’t Have This on the Court’
Sen. Jeff Flake (R-AZ) continued to question Brett Kavanaugh’s fitness for the Supreme Court on Tuesday, expressing concern over his temperament exhibited during last Thursday’s Senate Judiciary Committee hearing.
During a joint appearance with friend and colleague Chris Coons (D-DE) at The Atlantic Festival in Washington, D.C., Flake said he was “very troubled” by the tone of Kavanaugh’s lengthy, outraged opening statement.
“I hope I would sound that indignant if I was unjustly maligned,” he said, “but then it went on.”
