McTurtle "Talk about a bombshell"

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Tuesday appeared to mock a report on Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh being questioned over allegedly throwing ice during a college bar fight.

McConnell, speaking from the Senate floor, said some of the attacks on Kavanaugh have been “trivial” and joked that The New York Times unleashed “a major story.”


"Get this, Judge Kavanaugh may have been accused of throwing some ice across a college bar in the mid-1980s, in the mid-1980s. Talk about a bombshell,” McConnell said.

He added that “one can only imagine what new bombshell might be published today or tomorrow.”
