There is nothing Judge Brett Kavanaugh can do to clear his name in the eyes of the ravenous liberal media. Even after his interview on Fox News in which he defended himself and his reputation from the dubious allegations, it drew the ire of those who wanted his nomination to fail. During Tuesday’s MTP Daily on MSNBC, host Chuck Todd slapped the Supreme Court nominee with a “partisan warrior” label for the effort.

Todd began the program by decrying the “all-out PR blitz” “aimed at trying to ram through” Kavanaugh’s nomination. He told viewers it was “a shock and awe strategy” filled with “Trump-style playbook of denials, counter-strikes, claims of a vast left-wing conspiracy, and overt attacks on Kavanaugh's accusers”.

After playing clips of White House officials and Republican leaders defending Kavanaugh, Todd lambasted the Judge for his Fox News interview. “And folks, pretty much everything you've heard follows Kavanaugh himself playing something that I don't think that we've ever seen a Supreme Court nominee do, playing the part of partisan warrior by going on Fox News last night,” he chided.

During a discussion about the interview between Washington Post columnist Ruth Marcus and Free Beacon editor-in-chief Matthew Continetti, Todd interjected to take another shot at Kavanaugh. “[T]hat is what I'm curious about, this decision to do what no Supreme Court nominee has ever done. And it is to sort of fight for your life in the political square,” he told them.

According to Todd, giving the interview to Fox News somehow called into question the Judge’s previous testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee where he talked about how a judge needed to be “neutral and impartial arbiter who favors no litigant or policy”.

“It was jarring to see him not even sit in front with the Fox News journalist, but with one of the opinion show hosts,” he asserted while taking a cheap shot at the respected Martha MacCallum. We’re sorry to break it to Chuck, but he runs a couple opinion shows himself.

“And not go to a CBS or PBS, somewhere else as well if he was going to do this. Does it make him a partisan warrior now,” he wondered aloud.

Playing off of Todd, Marcus noted that after the Monica Lewinski scandal first broke, President Bill Clinton went to PBS first. “True neutral ground,” Todd declared. While Marcus agreed PBS was (somehow) “neutral territory” and said she didn’t “begrudge a nominee in this environment doing something that no nominee has done before”, she found “the choice of Fox was a little hard to square.”

Maybe the choice had something to do with the fact that Fox News was the one TV outlet not actively trying to kill his chances. Sort of like Todd did at the top of the show when he alluded to claims “there might be a third according to an attorney for a woman who has yet to come forward.” But what was known at the time was that those claims came from lawyer Michael Avenatti and, despite his admant denials, there were rumors circulating he was tricked by 4Chan users.

Todd also took issue with Kavanaugh’s “blanket denials” of the charges against him. “Like there is one picture being painted of him as -- to be generous -- the frat boy who maybe drinks too much. He’s painting a picture that says I wasn't even that. I'm not anything near even what my friend wrote in his book,” he huffed.

Continetti embarrassed Todd by breaking down the truth of what Kavanaugh was claiming about himself. “He also said it in that interview that we do things in high school that we don't always like to look back on and such. I think that he didn't foreclose the possibility that he ever drank,” he explained. “What he’s denying is drinking to the point that he would black out, which of course would suggest that there might be more creditability to Dr. Ford's story.”

Chuck Todd is the same MSNBC host that laughably declared himself a “referee” enforcing political “rules”. He deserves an “un-sportsman like conduct” penalty.
