Coons did, why not give a week of investigation and then you want another week. >> when we sat here a week ago i was fair as i could be, i was kri criticized by democratic friends for being fair. you have credible testimony. the president, senator grassley, everybody says dr. fords testimony was credible. she should be commended. with new evidence, you have two other alleged accusers out there, then democrats have to make sure they do due diligence, they have a fiduciary responsibility. we are m...

Promotion. two, do we handle this debate in such a way both democrats and republicans that makes it clear to women in this country that if you speak out about sexual assault, the one in three women in this country who experienced sexual assault in their lifetimes who do not report for you and i both know very well. that if you speak out, you will be respected. you will be treated with respect. you will not be shamed, smeared and attacked. be clear about something. there were republican senators ...

Thank you so much for joining me in washington, d.c. i am fredricka whitfield. today the fbi begins the latest investigation into supreme court nominee brett kavanaugh. his confirmation vote now delayed another week as investigators look into sexual assault allegations against him by multiple women. the investigation was sparked by a last minute change of heart from key republican senator jeff flake. the same senator cornered in an elevator hours earlier by emotional protesters. >> i have two ch...
