“The 'Saturday Night Live' skit with Matt Damon, unfortunately that was too accurate of what Judge Kavanaugh was like,” Leahy said on MSNBC, referring to a sketch in which Damon played the role of an angry Kavanaugh as he testified.

“I’ve never seen a judicial nominee like this and it does not reflect a judicial temperament,” Leahy, who sits on the Senate Judiciary Committee, added.

Leahy said that he's “voted for a lot of Republican nominees" that he may've disagreed with, but had the judicial temperament to be a judge.

"He doesn't. He wants to talk about lifting weights in high school," Leahy said, referencing some of Kavanaugh's testimony.

Kavanaugh and Christine Blasey Ford testified before the Judiciary Committee on Thursday regarding her claims that he sexually assaulted her at a high school party in the 1980s.

Kavanaugh has fiercely denied the accusations. He's also denied sexual misconduct claims from two other women, Deborah Ramirez and Julie Swetnick.

A Senate vote on Kavanaugh's confirmation has been delayed a week to allow time for the FBI to conduct an investigation of the allegations against the judge.

The New York Times on Monday reported that the White House gave authorization to the FBI to interview anyone thought to be appropriate in its investigation of Kavanaugh.

“If you want to vote without all the information, if you’re voting for this person, the information will eventually come out," he said. “It might be a year from now, or two years from now. How are you going to explain your vote?”
