Hillary Clinton on the Kavanaugh ceremony on CNN this morning: "What was done last night in the White House was a political rally. It further undermined the image and integrity of the court. And that troubles me greatly."
If protesters aren't paid, can you call them "paid protesters"? 🤔
As Trump tweets this morning again claiming anti-Kavanaugh protesters were paid, it's a good time to remind that Trump's campaign paid people $50 each to cheer for him at his presidential announcement in 2015. hollywoodreporter.com/news/donald-tr…
Credit @jules_su for pointing out the firm that hired the actors to cheer Trump's campaign launch had to wait to be paid until about a month after a complaint was filed with the FEC: wapo.st/2OKwnnS
A "Fox and Friends" guest made what she later said was a joke about alleged paid protesters waiting for their checks.
Trump apparently took it seriously and tweeted it.

Heidi Heitkamp defends her vote against Kavanaugh in a new campaign ad: "Honestly I don't think he told the truth. And even if he did, he showed himself to be too biased to be impartial."
Mother Jones reports that a decision from the Supreme Court to uphold a lower court ruling on voting in North Dakota will likely make it harder for tribal North Dakotans to cast a ballot. The order, MoJo says, could hurt Heidi Heitkamp's reelection.
