Rep. John Kennedy (R-LA) told press Wednesday that he doesn’t want to see prosecutor Rachel Mitchell “go catwoman” on Dr. Christine Blasey Ford.

“I’m not interested in seeing Ms. Mitchell go cat woman on anybody,” Kennedy told CNN’s Manu Raju.

It’s unclear what exactly the Louisiana Republican meant by the comment, but some prominent Twitter users suggested that it was misogynist.

“Charming,” Lawfare Blog’s executive editor Susan Hennessy commented.

“If the Sen Judiciary GOP thought that having a female attorney do the questioning would protect them from saying sexist things….” former Obama campaign aide Ronald Klain pointed out.

3. I think he has fantasies of the women in bikinis

fighting in a ring full of Wesson Oil.

Where the fuck to they find these Retrumplicans? Nevermind, I think they find them at my dad's VFW Hall.

4. I think he meant "cat fight"? A really really stupid thing to say, so that is probably what he meant

I mean to these idiot conservative Neanderthals anytime you get two women in a room with powerful white men, expect to see a cat fight.

I hope I am mistaken, because it is making me very angry that these men were elected and they are making laws affecting women's rights.
