Video: Capito Joins Fox & Friends to Discuss Humanitarian Impact of Putin's War, Concerns With Supreme Court Nominee

Interview

U.S. Senator Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.) joined Fox and Friends this morning to discuss her recent trip to Poland and Germany, as well as this week's Senate hearings on Supreme Court nominee Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson.

HIGHLIGHTS:

ON WITNESSING THE HUMANITARIAN CRISIS IN EASTERN EUROPE: "Well, it's powerful. It's heartbreaking. Many of the 1,500 refugees that were in the shelter that we saw, were in the processing center, were mothers and children, young children. We met a young…Katerina from Ukraine. Her home is only two miles from the border. She talked about her six- and eight-year-old, and how the constant air raid sirens were just frightening them so much and she left her husband and her home. It is very powerful to see. 6,000 meals served just in that one facility every single day. And it's got to stop."

IMPACT OF REFUGEE CRISIS ON CHILDREN, FAMILES: "There were a lot of a lot of children there. There were volunteers there in rooms letting the kids dress up and do make believe like you would do in your own home. So, that was very refreshing to see. But then you go to the next room and everybody's getting on a train or a bus to go somewhere else away from their loved ones. It's very impactful. Very sad. But I'll tell you what, the Polish people have stepped up like nobody's business. They're coming to these to these processing centers and saying, "I have an extra bedroom. I can take a family of three or four. Please let us help.'"

ON CONCERNS WITH PRESIDENT BIDEN'S SUPREME COURT NOMINEE: "I share the concerns of my colleagues…my great concern is where is she on overreach of the presidential powers? We see an administration that is reaching into every aspect, making laws all of the time and it goes to the courts in many instances. And this is…very important in the environmental space and other spaces. So that's the big question to me. I think also her philosophy on education. Her philosophy on packing the court. She didn't get specific with that when she was meeting with me. I think that's a legitimate question to be asking her. How did she based her sentencing decisions? We should be asking. So today and tomorrow, I think we will get a much fuller picture of her and her opinions, her past opinions, and hopefully what her opinions are in terms of the issues of the day. I've pledged to be open-minded. I want a respectful process after what we saw happen to Judge Kavanaugh and Judge Amy Coney Barrett. That to me was one of the lowest points in my service. So, I'm going to remain open-minded. See what happens today and tomorrow and then I'll be making that vote based on that."
