The CNN headline says "Toobin calls out Kavanaugh's 'weird' interview."
Toobin is on CNN, talking about Kavanaugh's interview, and guess what he calls "weird"? According to Toobin, Kavanaugh disrupted the usual appearance of nonpartisanship for Supreme Court nominees by going on Fox News, AKA "Republican television." That's what's "weird"! "Go on...
