White House advisor Kellyanne Conway said Friday that Brett Kavanaugh’s testimony Thursday was “tour-de-force” in “pure Trump fashion.”
“I thought today was a tour-de-force,” Conway told Fox News Channel’s Laura Ingraham. “He put it all on his shoulders. He’s gonna run for the tape.”
Kellyanne added, “I thought he channeled his inner-Clarence Thomas and his inner-Donald Trump.”
The president also praised Judge Kavanaugh’s testimony and demanded the Senate vote on his nomination.
“Judge Kavanaugh showed America exactly why I nominated him. His testimony was powerful, honest, and riveting. Democrats’ search and destroy strategy is disgraceful and this process has been a total sham and effort to delay, obstruct, and resist,” the president tweeted. “The Senate must vote!”
