"Appearing on Tuesday’s Today show, Meet the Press moderator Chuck Todd suggested that the best course of action for Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh might just be to withdraw rather than defend himself against sexual assault allegations during a public Senate hearing scheduled for Monday.
The NBC News Political Director feared that any hearing would be a “tinderbox” that could “erupt a culture war.”
“Chuck, tell us what your gut tells you about this nomination. Is this thing in real trouble do you think?,”asked co-host Hoda Kotb.
Todd replied: “I definitely think it’s in trouble.”
He then advanced the case for Kavanaugh quitting the confirmation process: “I think nothing would surprise me, including him, by the end of the week, if Judge Kavanaugh decides he doesn’t want to go through this, it isn’t worth it, he doesn’t want to – maybe he can win but he doesn’t want an asterisk – I mean, it wouldn’t surprise me if he chose to withdraw and chose to back down.”

So whether Kavanaugh is actually guilty or not apparently doesn’t matter, the media will place an “asterisk” next to his name regardless..."
