Joy Behar: Republicans pushing Kavanaugh nomination 'are only interested in retaining white power'
“The View” co-host Joy Behar said Friday that Senate Republicans are trying to push through Brett Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court nomination in order to retain “white power.”
Behar lodged the accusation on Friday, one day after Kavanaugh and the first woman to accuse him publicly of sexual assault, Christine Blasey Ford, testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Ford, in her testimony, accused Kavanaugh of pinning her to a bed and groping her at a party when the two were in high school in the early 1980s. Kavanaugh denied Ford's claims in his testimony.
Behar cited a study from the Brookings Institution that found white people currently make up 61 percent of the U.S. population, a figure that is expected to drop to 49.7 percent by 2044.
