Democrat calls Kavanaugh a ‘frat boy’

Rep. Steve Cohen (D-Tenn.) referred to Brett Kavanaugh as a “frat boy” on Wednesday, citing accounts of the Supreme Court nominee’s time in college and high school. 

“To be a Supreme Court justice requires a certain amount of probity and rectitude that is exceptional, and that is not something for a frat boy. Now you can grow out of that possibly, but you don’t lie,” Cohen told Hill.TV’s Buck Sexton and Krystal Ball on “Rising.” 

“We’re talking about a sitting D.C. Circuit Court judge who is voted in by all of the senators looking at him and has written 300 opinions and went to Yale Law School,” Sexton interjected. “He’s considered at the top of his legal field. I mean to call him a frat boy, sir, with all due respect, that’s a bit much.”

“He was a frat boy, the way he acted,” Cohen said.
