House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said that if Christine Blasey Ford had behaved like Brett Kavanaugh did when he testified about her sexual assault allegation against him, she’d be labeled “hysterical.”Speaking at the Texas Tribune Festival in Austin on Saturday, Pelosi said Kavanaugh is unfit to be on the Supreme Court. “I couldn’t help but think that if a woman had ever performed that way, they would say ‘hysterical,’” Pelosi said about Thursday’s emotional testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee. In his own testimony, Kavanaugh forcefully declared his innocence, at times yelling, crying and interrupting senators. Kavanaugh has also been credibly accused of sexual misconduct by two other women. “It’s not time, shall we say, for a hysterical, biased person to go to the court and expect us to say, ‘Isn’t that wonderful,’” Pelosi said.
