Harris: Have you heard the term “racial spoils system”?
Kavanaugh: Yes.
Harris: You twice used that term in a WSJ piece. “Spoils” is defined as goods stolen. What does that phrase mean to you?
K: (after back/forth) I’m not sure what I was referring to then, to be frank.— Lisa Desjardins (@LisaDNews) September 6, 2018
Harris: are you aware the term “racial spoils system” is used by white supremecists?
Kavanaugh: I wrote that 20 years ago and the answer is no.— Lisa Desjardins (@LisaDNews) September 6, 2018
