A CNN panel discussion on the protests against newly confirmed Supreme Court Associate Justice Brett Kavanaugh turned into a free for all as a conservative commentator continued to refer to the participating crowd — mostly compromised of women — as a “mob,” comparing them to neo-Nazis who held a white supremacist rally in Charlottesville.

Speaking with CNN host Victor Blackwell, former press secretary to House Democrats, Rochelle Ritchie, lambasted the language used to describe the anti-Kavanaugh protesters.

“Trump and the Republicans are really just a bunch of hypocrites,” Ritchie explained. “Where was this mob-like language when we saw people at Trump rallies being encouraged to punch people in the face and shove people around? Where was the mob-like language when white nationalists were marching down the street and running people over in their cars and attacking people in parking garages?”

“It’s ridiculous,” she continued. “It’s funny because Trump loves mobs. He has rubbed shoulders with the biggest mobster in the world, President Putin.”

Asked to respond, GOP consultant Scott Jennings blew off the accusation.

“Well, if it looks like a mob and sounds like a mob, it’s a mob,” he glibly offered. “That is exactly what has formed over this Kavanaugh confirmation process.”

“Scott, let’s go back to the first midterm after the election of the president and Tea Partiers,” host Blackwell pressed. “A man was arrested for spitting on a member of Congress, the racial epithets. We have video of that we can roll. Were those mobs?”

“I don’t recall seeing any Tea Partiers trying to tear down the doors of the United States Supreme Court,” Jennings shot back. “I would say to anybody who in any mob…”

“That’s not the question!” Blackwell cut in.

“I don’t condone spitting on anybody,” Jennings offered.

“I didn’t ask if you condone it,” Blackwell pressed. “I’m saying if you are saying today is a mob, was it a mob in 2010?”

“No. I don’t believe that the mob — if that is what you want to call it in 2010 — is what anything comparable to what you’re seeing in Washington today,” the Republican defended, before ducking condemning the Charlottesville mob of white supremacists whose rally ended with the death of Heather Heyer.
