Senator Susan Collins’ support for Donald Trump’s Supreme Court pick Brett Kavanaugh can be best described as “fake feminism,” according to former Obama White House Communications Director Jen Psaki.
“She struck a nerve to me in what she said and how she voted, because that’s political cowardice,” Psaki said, the Hill reports, “that is somebody who is pretending to be a feminist but that is fake feminism.”
Although Senator Susan Collins’ support for Kavanaugh can be considered fake feminism, according to Psaki, the Democratic Party is to blame for Kavanaugh’s success as well. The Democrats, Psaki suggests, “mishandled things.”
Still, the Brett Kavanaugh saga is “about a woman who is accusing someone of sexual assault, something that often many, many women do not come forward to do,” the former Obama aide concluded.
