EXCERPT:
WALLACE: “I’m thinking about Donald Trump’s inauguration address and the line about human carnage. We’ve seen a lot of it today. The stories from Professor Ford and her family, what they’ve been through and the story about Judge Kavanaugh’s daughters, talking about praying for Professor Ford and Ashley Kavanaugh’s face while he was telling that story and Brett Kavanaugh crying every time he talked about his parents and his wife and his kids and all his friends, men and women. That’s the human carnage that Donald Trump promised in his inauguration address. Here it is. A couple things I learned about how this speech came to be, Brett Kavanaugh ripped up a set of remarks that have been circulated for feedback and notes and approval yesterday. He wrote this himself. I heard from two sources close to Kavanaugh that this was not a performance that had anything to do with the Supreme Court. It’s a performance that had to do with his life. And I say performance because I knew Brett Kavanaugh for — I worked with him in the White House for years and I never saw that side of him. So it was authentic and real. It may not have helped him. It may have hurt him. It may have helped him. But it was raw emotion, and I’ve never seen that side of him. It was a rebuke of this moment in politics, and I think the question now is, does that overlap with his legislative goals, which is to win enough votes on this Committee to have his nomination forwarded to the full Senate? And I have no idea.”
