Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney said the Democrats’ handling of Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation, writ large, has been “evil.”
Cheney, daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, highlighted the behavior of Senate Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), who was the first to receive Dr. Christine Blasey Ford’s allegations against Kavanaugh.

“I was very emotional last Thursday,” he continued, “more so than I have ever been. I might have been too emotional at times. I know that my tone was sharp, and I said a few things I should not have said. I hope everyone can understand that I was there as a son, husband and dad.
