STEVE DOOCY (CO-HOST): What do you make of the questioning of his name? Or is that just a joke?

BRITTANY HUGHES (MEDIA RESEARCH CENTER): If it's a joke, it's obviously not a very funny one. You're talking about the same people who had absolutely no problem with the name “Merrick” two years ago, are you kidding me? Now you're going to go after Brett? It just goes to show that this outrage is completely drummed up, it's completely fake. You're talking about a side of the aisle that had protest signs made up for every single potential Trump SCOTUS nominee before he had even announced a name. Now they are going after him for having the name Brett, which is absolutely ridiculous. I feel like at this point some conservatives have more legitimate concerns with Kavanaugh than the liberals do. While some conservatives were talking about his rulings on Obamacare, liberals are talking about his name and whether or not the man likes baseball. Are you kidding me here? Do we not have anything more legitimate to talk about than the name Brett? That's ridiculous.
