now on the same ticket, she was a vocal opponent of kavanaugh and believer of dr. christine blasey ford, so how does she not thread this needle on the same ticket with a man also facing accusations? >> yeah, i mean, i guess i'm not surprised at this line of attack. i think it's pretty expected, but it's a false equivalency to compare the judiciary committee hearing and kavanaugh's confirmation, now justice kavanaugh's confirmation -- with which is now an open presidential process for the american people are going to scrutinize joe biden and donald trump to an inch of their lives, practically, in terms of the amount of information already disclosed. joe biden has been in the public sphere is a former vice president for barack obama, two terms, eight years in the white house, someone senator harris exercised her constitutional responsibility as a senator on the judiciary committee and asked a very tough questions, good questions, smart questions, not nasty questions, i bet donald trump wouldn't have said that about a male senator, but she was exercising her responsib

she was extraordinarily nasty to kavanaugh, judge kavanaugh then, now justice kavanaugh. she was nasty to a level that was just a horrible thing the way she was, the way she treated now-justice kavanaugh. and i won't forget that soon. >> reporter: and within minutes of the announcement, the president tweeted out this campaign video attacking biden and harris: >> slow joe and phony kamala. >> reporter: during the president's news conference on monday, a secret service agent interrupted to tell him shots were just fired outside the white house. a camera on the white house driveway-- ( gunshot ) captured the sound and dramatic new video of the shooting scene shows police rushing there, some with weapons displayed. police say the man who was shot, threatening officers and warning that he was carrying a gun, but no firearm was found at the scene. today, president trump left his press briefing without answering questions about why he donated $6,000 to harris' reelection campaigns in 2011 and 2013 for california attorney general. in 2001, he also gave $1,000 to support biden's s

gorsuch and kavanaugh are establishing different profiles. will praise, believe it or not, something here. i am much happier about the lower toward. i think the lower court transformation is real, and i have seen that transformation with my own eyes. with contested cases, they basically are getting closer to correct and a lot of these circuits. i do not discount the lower court transformation whatsoever. i am a little more suspicious about the return -- to the high court, but they are more ambitiously heading in the right direction. the next question is for professor chen. submitted, with the faithless elector case of any presidential value or any effect on a challenge to the national popular vote compact, assuming that someone eventually had the standing to challenge the compact? >> that's a great and difficult question. so going back to the electors, one of the things they said was that states had an enormous amount of discretion in the selection of defining and selecting electors. you could read that. if you literally read that, as complet

they mentioned kamala harris'question of brett kavanaugh. justice kavanaugh. here is one moment from the confirmations between senator harris and the nominee. [video clip. sen. harris: had discussed robert lawler or his discussion with anyone? have you discussed it with anyone. -- robert mueller or his discussion with anyone? have you discussed his investigation with anyone at the law firm founded by president trump's personal lawyer? uh.tt kavanaugh: sen. harris: be sure about your answer, sir. brett kavanaugh: i am not remembering but if your something you want to. sen. harris: are you certain you have not had a conversation with anyone at that law for? at that law firm, the law firm founded by mark caso wits, president trump's personal lawyer. have you had any conversation about robert mueller or his investigation with anyone at that firm? yes or no? brett kavanaugh: is there a person you're talking about? sen. harris: yes or no. brett kavanaugh i am not sure i know everyone who works at that law firm. sen. harris: who did you talk to? : i am notnaugh remem

she was extraordinarily nasty kavanaugh, judge kavanaugh then, now justice kavanaugh. she was nasty to a level that was a horrible thing the way she was, the way she treated now justice kavanaugh. and i won't forget that soon. so she did very poorly in the primaries and now she has chosen -- lou: president trump wrapping up his news conference from the white house briefing room. that's it for us tonight. we thank you for being with us. tomorrow night congressman jim jordan, china expert gordon chang, civil rights activist bob woodson among our guests. hope you join us for that. my nook book, "the trump century" how our president changed the courts of history. available for preorder at amazon.com and barnesandnoble.com and "the trump century". a reminder to follow me on twitter @loudobbs, like me on facebook, follow me on instagram @loudobbstonight. thanks for being with us. good night from sussex. reporter: allegedly rubber stamp, was approving surveillance. i was wondering i don't think as president you commented on edward snowden. should he be allowed to return witho

she was extraordinarily nasty to kavanaugh, judge kavanaugh then, now justice kavanaugh. nasty to a level that was a horrible thing. she was very disrespectful to joe biden, and it's hard to pick somebody that that's disrespectful when she said things during the debates. >> reporter: the president also focused on her on twitter. he says kamala harris started strong in the democratic primaries and finished weak ultimately fleeing the race with almost zero support. that's the kind of opponent everyone dreams of. of course, a little sarcasm there from president trump. it is notable, craig, before the pick was announced yesterday, president trump tried to down play the significance of whomever biden was going to announce, saying people typically do not vote on the basis of the vice presidential nominee. earlier this morning, kellyanne conway was out and trying to make the case that kamala harris as the attorney general of california rubbed a lot of people the wrong way on both sides. so again, it appears as though the president's campaign still trying to find its messaging as

she was extraordinarily nasty to judge kavanaugh, now justice kavanaugh, she was nasty to a level that was just a horrible thing, the way she was, the way she treated now justice kavanaugh. i won't forget that soon. so she did very poorly in the primaries and now she is chosen, so let's see how that works out. >> [indiscernible] so many people in the past? >> i can't tell you what she has voted for. i don't think she knows. i think joe knows less than she does. i was surprised at the pic. a lot of people said that might be the pic. i was more surprised because she did so poorly. many people did much better than her. she did poorly in the primaries and that is like a pole -- a poll. about fisa, among republicans that there was abuse. -- it is accepted that there was abuse. [indiscernible] we were warned in 2013 that the surveillance court was available -- that was approving [indiscernible] i don't think you commented on edward snowden but do you think he should be allowed to return without going to prison? tremendous pfizer abuse. it was amazing that it has taken this long. it has been

this attempt to connect kamala to kavanaugh is a play around grievance and, you know -- kavanaugh moment played very differently on the right and people felt like he was being persecuted as a white guy and that kind of thing. so an attempt to try to connect kamala to kavanaugh are the tropes around angry black women it's part of the strategy to remind people, hey, a good white girl almost got taken down by the democrats. so he's trying to do a number of things but the way he's doing it may backfire. >> thank you for being with us. >>> cnn's coverage continues after this. >>> good morning. i'm poppy harlow. >> i'm jim sciutto. sadly we begin today with the deadliest single day so far and a dire prediction from the cdc warning that the pandemic combined with the flu season could ravage the country like no health crisis before. >> i'm asking you to do four simple things. wear a mask, social distance, wash your hands and be smart about crowds. if we don't do that, as i have said last april, this could be the worst fall from a public health perspective we've

she was extraordinarily nasty to kavanaugh, judge kavanaugh, now justice kavanaugh. she was nasty to a level that was just a horrible thing the way she was, the way she treated now justice kavanaugh. i won't forget that soon. she did very poorly in the primaries and now she's chosen. let's see how >> president trum: i can't tell you what she is voting for. i think joe knows less than she does. but i was a little surprised at the pick. a lot of people say that might be the pick but i was more surprised than anything else because she did so poorly. many people did much better than her in the primaries. she did poorly in the primaries. that is like a poll. >> reporter: president trump, about widely acceptable among republicans that there was buys abuse, but, the page four application, actually the core was rubber-stamped and proving surveillance. i was wondering, about edward snowden, what do you think about a term without prison? >> president trump: as far as fisa abuse is concerned, it is amazing that it has taken this long and everybody knows it. it has been proven s

ted kavanaugh rallied the troops. he literally was a ringleader. i was on a cnn anniversary call, and alumni call in honor of the 40th anniversary which i forgot to mention is part of reason the book came out when it did, because it just happened. and to hear the reverence and adulation for ted all of these years later, 40 years later, was magnificent. i knew the people revered him. i i knew that he was this commanding presence, commanding force, but he basically got everybody motivated at a time when they really were not sure that is going to work. he wasn't even sure it was going to work so it was magnificent a few weeks ago to see people, the respect they gave him and the things they gave him that were delayed. they never had the chance to thank him before. that was a real privilege to witness that there but basically ted went on to start -- ted kavanaugh, with just a cnn two which became known as headlines which was another huge legacy of his for sure. that's a whole book in itself into the personal asked before what i left out there are many b

she was extraordinarily nasty to kavanaugh, judge kavanaugh then, now justice kavanaugh. thing,just a horrible the way she treated now justice kavanaugh and i won't forget that. so she did very poorly in the primaries and now she's chosen, so let's see how that works out. >> [inaudible] >> i can't tell you what she's voted for. i don't think she knows. i think joe knows even less than she does. but i was surprised at the pick. i was more surprised because she did so poorly. many people did much better than her in the primaries. and that is like a pole, you know? about fisa, now it is widely accepted among republicans that there was fisa abuse. in 2013actually warned that the surveillance court was allegedly a rubberstamp. i don't think as president you've commented on edward snowden, but do you think he should be allowed to return without going to prison? >> there was tremendous fisa abuse. it is amazing that it has taken this long. everyone knows it has been proven substantially. changing documents and putting documents in front of the court, courts that are disgraceful

. >> she was extraordinarily nasty to kavanaugh. that was a horrible event. i thought it was terrible for her. i thought it was terrible for our nation. i thought she was the meanest, the most horrible, most disrespectful of anybody in the u.s. senate. >> kasowitz, benson and torrez, the law firm founded by marc kasowitz, who is president trump's personal lawyer. have you had any conversation about robert mueller or his investigation with anyone at that firm? yes or no? >> is there a person you're talking about? >> i'm asking you a very direct question. who did you talk to? >> i don't think i -- i'm not remembering. >> you have impeccable memory. you've been speaking for almost eight hours, i think more, to this committee about all sorts of things you remember. >> you were in that hearing. i'm wondering when -- again the president uses that term "nasty" it seems mostly only but certainly mostly for women who are strong. >> yes. >> and stand up to him. >> the president can't handle strong women because in that same proceeding he's ca

kamala's conduct during the kavanaugh hearings, mollie wrote a book about this whole topic. this was shameful, let's look. >> have you had any discussion with anyone ever about bob mueller -- >> i've never had a discussion about bob mueller, used to work in the administration with bob mueller. >> did you talk with them? >> you asked me that, i need to know who works there. >> i think you can answer my question without me giving you a list of all employees at the law firm. >> well, actually, i can't -- >> why not? >> because i don't know who works there. >> okay, i'll move on. >> laura: mollie, she was actually praised for this empty line of questioning. there were so many pauses, and i found it so transparent. mollie, you're the expert here. >> she was trying to set a perjury trap, and only because brett kavanaugh was prepared for such perjury traps did he not fall into it. that was what she did as a ringleader in the anti-kavanaugh effort, they try to destroy his life. she came out against him, did 3400 facebook ads about him interrupted the proceedings the moment they star

kavanaugh. she's got remarkable chops as a lawyer, as a prosecutor, as an attorney general, as a united states senator who has addressed some of the biggest issues of this era that we're in. how, as somebody who ran for vice president, how does that serve her in this particular job? how does she translate that experience to running for vice president? >> well, i think there are sort of two chapters. there's the candidate, and then there's vice president. we have great hopes that this ticket is going to be successful. she's going to need to be tough. remember, joe biden was often used by the obama administration, had tough conversations with members of congress. i was a governor and saw joe manage the recovery act from the administration. i was a senator in the obama second term on the foreign relations committee and saw joe come up and talk about tough issues like the iran negotiation and the paris climate accord. so i think in a way, i think if kamala is more of the vice president she'll be tha

"new york times" reported, then retracted, sexual assault claims against kavanaugh now original ones but other ones that came out that were ridiculous and kamala harris was asked about that, she said well, he should have to prove they didn't happen. is that the way law enforcement works particularly when you're the attorney general of this largest state in the country? i don't think so. so then the los angeles times also saying picking harris biden puts centrist stamp on democrat future let's look at positions she's taken and first, actually let's talk about track if you're familiar with them. they look at strictly legislation or cosponsored legislation for each senator in the country nowhere kamala harris ranked among all senators in that context? last. behind bernie sanders. in other words, she is the most liberal senator in the united states senate based on her record in the united states senate that is not my opinion. so she supports banning fracking. green new deal which millions trillions in new taxes. so i could go down the line in terms of if kamala harris is a moderate as me

she had problems, she was one of the ring leaders of kavanaugh circus and trying to keep a judge from being confirmed and it means something, we have to be after it. howie: let me get clarence in here before we break. should conservative media be saying biden doesn't know what's going on, harris will be running the show, he will step down and she look president right away? >> that's part of saying joe biden can't handle the joe biden and it's up to joe biden to prove to us during campaign that the whole notion of kamala harris thing run government is a crazy conspiracy theory. howie: all right, let me get a break, we will talk to top trump campaign spokesperson katrina pierson. ♪ you say the customers make their own rules. let's talk data. only xfinity mobile lets you switch up your wireless data whenever. i accept! 5g, everybody's talking about it. how do i get it? everyone gets 5g with our new data options at no extra cost. -that's good. next item: corner offices for everyone. just have to make more corners in this building. chad. your wireless. your rules. only with xfinity mobil

. >> she was extraordinarily nasty to judge brett kavanaugh then, now justice brett kavanaugh. em was nasty to just a horrible thing. she was very, very nasty to one of the reasons that it surprised me, she was very disrespectful to joe biden and it's hard to pick someone that is that disrespectful. >> julie: but the biden campaign and some women's groups launching in an effort to defend harris as former obama national security advisor susan rice says the attacks will not fly. watch. >> he would have done that to any person that joe biden selected on the ticket. and that's the undertone. there are those who will not retreat from that kind of divisiveness and hatred. and donald trump exemplifies it. >> julie: power panel now, jason chaffetz, oversight committee chair and fox news contributor. and jason nichols, marilyn professor of active putt african-american studies. i will go by jason n first, lashing out at kamala harris as nasty as we know it's the same term he used to describe phil hillary clinton four years ago, is this a good campaign strategy to use the word nasty again

she was extraordinarily nasty to kavanaugh, judge kavanaugh then, now justice kavanaugh. she was nasty to a level that was a horrible thing the way she was, the way she treated now justice kavanaugh, and i won't forget that soon. >> what's your reaction when you saw that? more so, what does it tell you about the fight ahead? >> well, that it's going to be nasty, but this is the point. when would he ever use the word nasty or mean when describing a man? this is exactly the point. we should be watching our language and not referring to women with the language that you wouldn't refer to with a man and trying to describe her in that way as well as his tweet about suburban housewives. >> yeah. these are all veiled, sexist and racist comments and we'll call them out whether they come from him or anybody else. >> that tweet about suburban housewives and how low-income housing would be invading their neighborhoods again. that's not just -- that's not sexism we're getting at, that is barely thinly veiled racism that that is getting at. you have willy horton ads coming at you all o

she was extraordinarily nasty to kavanaugh and i won't forget that. so she did very poorly in the primaries and now she's chosen. let's see how that all works out. >> the president also described senator harris as the meanest and most horrible person but struggled to come up with a more consistent or coherent line af tack against her. more now from cnn's katelyn collins. >> reporter: it wasn't long after joe biden had announced his pick that the president came out to the briefing room yesterday and of asked what he thought about him picking senator kamala harris as his vice president. the president seemed to do something that often he did not do in 2016 which is he struggled to land any kind of line of attack against senator harris. he talked about her record on fracking. he mentioned how she grilled justice kavanaugh during his confirmation hearing. she was disrespectful to joe biden in that heated dispute on the debate stage. the president did not have one line of attack against senator harris and appeared to be reading off his bullet point list whi

i was a little surprised, s kavanaugh, she was nasty to a level that was just a horrible thing. >> now, notable that president trump called her his first draft pick. president trump donated to harris' campaign in 2011 and 2013. when asked about that, a top campaign aide said, look, he donated to candidates on both sides of the aisle and then made the argument that, quote, i will note that kamala harris is a black woman and he donated to her campaign so i hope we can squash this racism argument now. bottom line, you have a number of allies saying the president should be less focused on personal attacks, more focused on really trying to drill down on the parts of her record where he finds key differences, chris. >> yeah, andrea, and to the point of the messaging, the president was already tweeting this morning, raised some eyebrows when he used the term "suburban housewives" will be voting for him, and then claiming cory booker would move low income housing into suburban communities. talk about that aspect of the messaging, andrea. >> it's not subtle. it's racial. it's racist. and he's t

this is really incredible, the new york times reported then retracted sexual assault claims against kavanaugh, not the original but other when they came out which were utterly ridiculous, when kamala harris was asked about that, she said he should have to prove they did not happen, is not the way law enforcement works particular when you're the attorney general of the largest state in the country, i don't think so. so then the los angeles time also said picking harris, biden put a centrist stamp on democrats feature. let's look at the centrist position that is taken, first, let's talk about dove track, if you're familiar with them they look is strictly legislation or cosponsor legislation for each senator in the country, you know were kamala harris ranked among all senators in that context, last, behind bernie sanders, she is the most liberal senator in the united states senate based on her record in the united states senate, that is not my opinion, she supports banning fracking, the green new deal, trillions in new taxes, i go down the line in terms if, here's is a moderate as a media is for

that was what she did as a ringleader in the anti-kavanaugh record, they try to destroy his life. she came out against him, did 3400 facebook ads about him, interrupted the proceeds since the moment they started, part of the circus where peoplee getting arrested and whatnot, and it did not stop even after he was confirmed. a year later, she tried to get him impeached, she's been calling for investigations, so a lot of people remember democratic efforts against kavanaugh is one of the low points in recent political history, and kamala harris was a big ringleader of that effort. >> laura: oh, yeah, and the hedge funds. when we think of hedge funders, ari, you run around new york circles a lot, and the hedge funders seem very excited about this. she has wall street's favorite candidate, as well. watch. >oh, sorry, cnbc is reporting, called the pick, harris was a perfect pick. texting great choice, and a similar statement, john hines, partner at corporate restructuring, vice president biden's first decision is perfect, et cetera, et cetera. what is that all about, ari? this sounds a l

he was extraordinarily nasty to judge kavanaugh. thatas nasty to a level was just a horrible the words have no meaning. better watch his water glass if you catch my drift. host: will next, joining us from north carolina. good evening. fromlly, joining us mississippi, apologize. good evening. caller: this is will from mississippi. i think he did good to pick a to be his vice president. i think he will make a good president and she will make a good vice president. -- he gets my vote. she gets my vote. joe biden gets my vote. she gets my vote. and let the country move on. and let the country move on forward. >> thank you for the call. >> that i support joe biden and that woman all the way. >> kamala harris, 35 years old. join thealled today to ticket on the biden campaign, tweeting this afternoon his selection, kamala harris. in addition to the events tomorrow you notice in the afternoon. there is also a virtual fundraiser she will be participating in tomorrow evening. rachel is joining us from indiana. good evening. i want to thank yo

she was extraordinarily nasty to kavanaugh. she was nasty to a level that was just a horrible thing the way she was. i watched her poll numbers go boom, boom, boom, down to almost nothing, and she left angry. she left mad. there was nobody more insulting to biden than she was. >> joining me now, the executive director of the representation project. she is also the author of "rage becomes her: the power of women's anger." also with me julia craven. you wrote an entire book about women's anger, and i think that that is one of the insults that is easy to get lost in that grab bag of insults, and yet can be pretty powerful. what is underneath calling a woman and specifically a woman of color angry? >> well, i think the clearer message is that she is wrong. she is unattractive, she is unlikable, she is transgressing. she is not a person who is supposed to hold him or others accountable. that word anger is so tied up in masculine power and domination and leadership that it's almost oxymoronic for some people. and obviously the presid

was nominated and would swear he'd fight to the death to keep kavanaugh off the court. and why? because he's mail, white, christian. that's his position that targets are not individuals like brett kavanaugh or other individuals are out of book as well print the target is america. there's a whole chapter called america the ugly which is democrats. and the "new york times", disgraceful disgusting project called the 1619 project which was cooked up by a racist. and i think she won a pulitzer. historical and literate. in the project is 1776 is america's birth certificate let's take 1776. and say that note 1619 is the founding. on the racist, out sharpton the spiritual leader of the black lives matter movement, becomes the wretched despicable eulogy said white america for 400y years. that goes into 1619. on the idea is that 20 african slaves were into the colony of virginia then. actually they weren't slaves. i get this information from a very famous princeton leftist herself. and the fact slavery illegal in virginia and virginia was not america was an english colony. americ

she was the worst, meanest person to judge kavanaugh, who became justice kavanaugh. i've never seen anything like it. >> when they use the word nasty, it's shorthand for den greating the integrity and humanity of a woman. it's also racist. >> reporter: harris following in the footsteps of geraldine faray row and sarah palin. >> they faced sexist attacks. there's something about a black woman being in that role that attracts a more sinister combination of racism and sexism. that's what she will continue to face. >> i think the way kamala's going to deal with attacks on her character is by sticking to the issues, sticking to the truth, and not getting derailed by mudslinging. >> reporter: harris is readying for the battle ahead, and so is her running mate. >> kamala harris has had your back, and now we have to have her back. >> i couldn't be prouder. to be by his side, running to represent you. the people. >> our thanks to janai. up next, it once had the highest infection rate of coronavirus anywhere in the u.s. how the navajo nation fought back. where are you?! honey,

and donald trump is out there saying she was nasty to kavanaugh? i'm sorry. that is not going to fly. it's always been about the virus stupid. unless you take care of the virus, people will not be in school. people will not have jobs. restaurants will not have customers. donald trump never understood that. and that i think those chickens will come home to roost this fall. that's why all this mud that they're throwing at them. none is sticking. that's not what americans are worried about. they are worried about school and jobs. >> he hasn't read the room or country. completely tone deaf. that usually -- lack of self-awareness. that usually is very hurtful for people when reality smacks them in the face. i have to ask you april you called on biden to name the cabinet at the convention. his cabinet is fan across the political spectrum. do you think that could happen? >> i really do. i think again i have always felt -- trump and biden each have a kind of teflon. trumps is mud. he is so covered in mud you throw more mud and something stucks. the notion of a stain

she certainly poll you should ed her credentials with aggressive questioning of brett kavanaugh during his supreme court confirmation hearings. but she's also shown a remarkable level of ideological flexibility when she's needed to. california's top prosecutor, she enjoyed a reputation for being tough on crime, prosecuting people for marijuana possession and parents whose kids were truant. it was a popular stance that won her e he re-election. but as the political winds have shifted, she's become somewhat more sympathetic to youth who find themselves in trouble with the law for rioting and committing violent crimes. now it's the apparently all systemic ray ism that's to blame. -- racism. during the early stages of the democrat primary last year, she was a staunch supporter of medicare for all. but as that plank came under withering attack, harris or had something of an epiphany, and she decided it wasn't a good idea overall, and she accused biden on a louvre tv debate of being a friend of raysests in the -- racists in the senate and of supporting policies that wouldn't support black ch

now judge kavanaugh, she was just nasty, the way she treated now justice kavanaugh. i won't forget that soon. she was terrible for our nation. i thought she was the meaniest, most horrible, most disrespectful of anybody in the u.s. senate. she's got a lot of difficult things that she's going to have to explain. plus she was very, very nasty to -- one of the reasons it surprised me, she was very -- she was probably nastier than even pocahontas to joe biden. she was very disrespectful to joe biden. i like vice president mike pence much better. he is solid as a rock. he's been a fantastic vice president. he's done everything you can do. he's respected by every religious group, whether it's evangelical, whether it's any other group, they respect mike pence. he's been a great vice president. she's also known, from what i understand, as being just about the most liberal person in the u.s. senate. and i would have thought that biden would have tried to stay away from that a little bit. >> the one thing the president did not mention was the $6,000 that he donated to kamala h

minate the democratic party they mentioned her questioning of brett kavanaugh, now justice kavanaugh. here's one moment from the confirmations between senator harris and the nominee. [video clip] >> have you ever discussed special counsel mueller or his investigation with anyone? >> well, it's in the news every day. >> have you discussed it with anyone? know.h other judges, i >> have you discussed mother or his investigation at -- with anyone at the law form founded by mark caso it's, trump's personal lawyer? be sure about your answer, sir. , well, i'm not remembering, but if you have something -- are you certain you have not had anyone -- a conversation with anyone at that law firm? caso it's, benson, and torres. founded by president trump's personal lawyer. are you, have you had any conversations about robert mueller or his investigation with anyone at that firm? yes or no. directing you a very russian. yes or no. caller: i'm not sure that -- >> are not sure i know everyone who works at that law firm. quick i don't think you need to. who did you talk to? >> i'm not remembering, but
