Joy Reid and her guests lead the show discussing the controversial nomination of Brett Kavanaugh for the U.S. Supreme Court. Why did Republican leaders set arbitrary deadlines for the testimony of Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, who accuses Kavanaugh of sexual assault when they were teens, allegations which he denies? Next: The New York Times story suggesting that Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein made statements about wearing a wire to record Donald Trump are contradicted by reports clarifying that he made those statements in jest. Joy Reid and her panel discuss the fact that the president and some of his supporters could attempt to use the Times report as ammunition to eventually upend the Robert Muelller investigation. Then: Many parallels are being drawn between what happened to Anita Hill during the Clarence Thomas confirmation hearings, and what could happen to Dr. Christine Blasey Ford during the Kavanaugh hearings. Joy's guests discuss what Ford may face. Plus: Tarana Burke, founder of the #MeToo movement, analyzes Donald Trump's most recent statements about Dr. Christine Blasey Ford's allegations, and the hashtag that spawned in reaction to the president, #WhyIDidntReport. All this and more in this Saturday's edition of AM JOY on MSNBC.
