How gender and power played into the Kavanaugh testimonies

This week’s dramatic events in the Senate reflect a much larger debate across the country, about how we view gender and power amidst a profusion of high-profile sex abuse scandals. Amna Nawaz speaks with Marcia Coyle and Deborah Tannen about the contrast between this week’s hearings and confirmations of the past and how much tone and gender matter in these sensitive discussions.
