CNN panel slams Brett Kavanaugh over 'public relations' apology letter 'to convince people that he’s not unhinged'

On Thursday, a CNN panel went off the rails over Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh writing an apology letter in the Wall Street Journal in the 11th hour.

Anne Milgram, a former federal prosecutor told CNN's Anderson Cooper that the respect for the Supreme Court is diminishing.

"This is the United States Supreme Court, and you do not get to sit on that court, in my view, by going up and yelling at United States senators. This is hurting the institution of the Supreme Court. This feels also very political to me, justices don't write op-eds.  I'm troubled by so many parts of this," Milgram said.

CNN political commentator Tara Setmayer called the apology nothing but a public relations stunt.

"This is like saying you're sorry after you got caught," Setmayer said. "He's doing this as a public relations move to try to convince people that he's not unhinged and that he can control his temper."
