The clips from Brett Kavanaugh’s Fox News interview show him looking weak and unconvincing as he discussed the sexual assault allegations that have been made against him. https://t.co/OsONBDdxAC pic.twitter.com/qkEX1DcSog

MACCALLUM: Did you guys ever look at each other and say “I’m out, this is enough. This just isn’t worth it”?What happens at about the 0:15 mark? Up to that point, Kavanaugh is inclining his head slightly to the right as he makes eye contact with Martha MacCallum, his interviewer. He glances at his wife once. But then at 0:15 he looks purposefully off to his left, and his answer changes -- as if someone has sent him a signal that he should mention "my integrity, my lifelong record ... of promoting dignity and equality."
KAVANAUGH: I’m not going to let false accusations drive us out of this process. And we’re looking for a fair process where I can be heard and defend the -- my integrity, my life long record – my life long record of promoting dignity and equality, starting with the woman who knew me when I was 14 years old. I’m not going anywhere.
Do you doubt that Fox would let Kavanaugh have coaching in the room where the interview took place? This wasn't journalism -- the news organization, the interviewer, and the interviewee are all on the same side. So I think it happened.
Carlos Ramos might have declared this an infraction, but it's just another day at the office for Fox.
