Blumenthal: Kavanaugh nomination should be withdrawn

Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) said on Tuesday that Brett Kavanaugh's nomination should be withdrawn, calling it a "stain" on the Supreme Court.

"I think the nomination should be withdrawn," Blumenthal, a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, told reporters. "He has raised serious doubts about his credibility in his testimony already."

Blumenthal described Kavanaugh as "evasive" and "seemingly misleading," adding that the bar wasn't if he had assaulted someone, but his "credibly, trust, [and] integrity."

"This nomination will not only cast a shadow over Judge Kavanaugh if he were ever to be confirmed... it will also stain the United States Supreme Court irreparably," Blumenthal said.
