Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh wrote in an opinion article Thursday that he "might have been too emotional" and "said a few things I should not have said" during last week's Senate hearing on sexual assault allegations against him.
In an article published on the Wall Street Journal's website — a day before the Senate plans to take a crucial test vote on his confirmation — Kavanaugh said his testimony "reflected my overwhelming frustration at being wrongly accused, without corroboration, of horrible conduct completely contrary to my record and character."
He said he was more emotional than he had ever been. "I know that my tone was sharp, and I said a few things I should not have said. I hope everyone can understand that I was there as a son, husband and dad," he wrote.
