As the Brett Kavanaugh confirmation for the Supreme Court played out, President Donald Trump said it was a “very scary time for young men in America.”“Is it though?” asked John Oliver of “Last Week Tonight” on Sunday. Because this seems like a way less scary time for young men in America than for old men in America.”Oliver noted that there was no step in the confirmation process that had a chance of changing Republicans’ plan to get Kavanaugh on the court. “Not Blasey Ford’s testimony, not the wildly inadequate FBI investigation, not a letter signed by 2,400 law professors saying that they oppose his appointment,” Oliver said. He agreed that there was a lot of dark money involved and that some of the ads in favor of Kavanaugh were misleading. “This entire process wasn’t about principle,” he said.
