When it came time for her to speak, McCain read a quote from Cuomo speaking out in support of Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, who accused Kavanaugh of sexually assaulting her when they were teens (he denied the allegations, and was later confirmed to the Supreme Court). “By his own metric — Believe All Women,” McCain said of Cuomo, “He is a pervert who has harassed women, and he should resign immediately.”
McCain then tore into the media and prominent Democratic politicians, including New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, for remaining “silent” on the Cuomo allegations. “Apparently if you’re Gov. Cuomo and your brother hosts a big CNN show, and you’re a Democrat — it has a complete double standard,” said the conservative co-host. “Other than on this show, there’s a lot of people in the media, on CNN, MSNBC, and other places, that are really, really silent when it comes to any bad behavior in regards to Gov. Cuomo.”
“We can’t live in a country and a time where Democrats say, ‘Believe all women, uh, except if your politics don’t align,'” continued McCain. “There’s a feeling that if your politics don’t align in the right way, that your accusations and your experiences being sexually harassed somehow mean something different … It’s completely hypocritical.”
