Hillary Clinton seems continually available to comment negatively on every single move President Donald Trump makes — and doesn’t hesitate to do so.
On Tuesday morning, the failed Democrat candidate was already opining that President Trump had staged a “political rally” at Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s ceremonial swearing-in at the White House Monday night that “further undermined the image and integrity of the court.”
“What was done last night in the White House was a political rally,” the former secretary of state told CNN’s Christiane Amanpour.
“It further undermined the image and integrity of the court.”
“And that troubles me greatly,” Clinton added. “It saddens me. Because our judicial system has been viewed as one of the main pillars of our constitutional government. So I don’t know how people are going to react to it. I think, given our divides, it will pretty much fall predictably between those who are for and those who are against.”
“But the president’s been true to form,” she continued. “He has insulted, attacked, demeaned women throughout the campaign — really for many years leading up to the campaign. And he’s continued to do that inside the White House.”
The former first lady made these comments despite the fact that Trump’s pick for the high court has hired an all-female team of law clerks, the first justice in the history of the Supreme Court to do so.
Clinton and other liberals seem stubbornly unwilling to accept the results of the Senate vote that made Trump’s Supreme Court nomination a reality.
And they seem unwilling to accept the reality that now-Justice Kavanaugh was accused of the serious and grievous crime of sexual assault in front of the American people without any substantive corroboration.
The president made it abundantly clear in his remarks Monday night what his own views are on the bitter nomination process that Kavanaugh — and the country — experienced.

“On behalf of our nation, I want to apologize to Brett and the entire Kavanaugh family for the terrible pain and suffering you have been forced to endure,” Trump said at the White House. “Those who step forward to serve our country deserve a fair and dignified evaluation. Not a campaign of political and personal destruction based on lies and deception. What happened to the Kavanaugh family violates every notion of fairness, decency, and due process.”
“My focus now is to be the best justice I can be. I take this office with gratitude and no bitterness.”
In response to Trump’s opening comments, Kavanaugh said, “The Senate confirmation process was contentious and emotional. That process is over. My focus now is to be the best justice I can be. I take this office with gratitude and no bitterness.”
He stated, “On the Supreme Court, I will seek to be a force of stability and unity. My goal is to be a great justice for all Americans and all of America. I will work really hard to achieve that goal. I was not appointed to serve one party or one interest but to serve one nation.”
