Fact of their need to take a different tone. youve heard that i think from the white house and the senate judiciary republicans. their immediate reaction was they wanted to hear from this woman, they thought she should be heard out, they invited her to testify before the committee. thats not what we heard when anita hill came forward two days before the thomas vote in 1991. >> no question about that. they delayed the vote on this and they are offering this platform. thank you very much. outfront...

Twitter. including the fact that hes ordered some folks to lose the security clearance. obviously he fired the former fbi director. all of this clearly when you really, really look at this, you have to wonder whether or not the president, if theres some self motive, something for himself in terms of why hes doing this. >> it makes you wonder how robert mueller to conduct an investigation thorough without a partisan influence when the president says, release this and i want that. >> thats right. ...

From the white house this morning. >> this woman should not be insulted and she should not be ignored. i think the senate is headed to a reasonable approach in that it seems to me, in speaking to a few senators, including senator lindsey graham, that allowing this woman to be heard in sworn testimony, allowing judge kavanaugh to be heard in sworn testimony about these specific allegations would be added to the very considerable mountain of evidence and considerations that folks will have when th...

Days on capitol hill in recent memory. brett kavanaugh, his accuser, christine blasey ford, both set to testify monday about the decades old allegations of sexual assault that is supposed to throw his nomination into a tail spin. the stakes are high here ahead of the midterms. female voters in particular galvanized by the me too movement. >> at the eye of the political storm, president trump showing restraint here. instead of going on the attack, the president says he is open to delay to get kav...

Clarence thomas was confirmed to the court. and remains to be seen if kavanaugh can also weather the storm. and come out on top. >> im joined by joan. the cnn supreme court analyst. good to have you with us. >> thank you. >> so as a journalist, author and lawyer. you have covered the supreme court since 1989. including clarence thomas in 1991. when hill testified. and now of course the parallels are drawn between nose events and the nomination hearing of brett kavanaugh. there are a number of di...

Just be that youre a bad cop if you ask, okay, well, what are the facts here? in the past, unfortunately, in this new era we are all called upon to publicly examine years old or decades old accusations and have respect for the accuser and the accused and a tough position to be in and going through the news cycles i have criteria of like, one, do we have a named accuser? we do on the record. thats important and credible. two, reports, we dont have them in the case. nice to have those to verifiabl...

Friend who acknowledged some, quote, bad behavior toward women. the friend was not named, but according to the book, the president said, and i quote, you got to deny, deny, deny and push back on these women. so why all of a sudden with his choice for the supreme court under fire are the president and the white house talking about a process playing out and hearing out the accuser? thats, frankly, just not clear. could be they truly believe she should be heard. could be because theyre concerned ab...

And his accuser will both testify monday. in this public hearing. it will be a case of his word against hers. without a thorough investigation, and any evidence to corroborate the accuser story. how much closer can senators ever hope to get to the truth? of what happened at that high school party. >> youre right. it does require airing of all the evidence. and there will others involved in as well. that will be the key question. whether judge kavanaughs denial that he was ever at the particular ...

The president was uncharacteristically toned town when he made comments earlier today, but one thing that stood out to me was he said he felt sorry for brett kavanaugh. he could not use the name christine blasey ford. again, it seemed a situation where the president stands with the accused and not the accuser. it just seems to be a pattern. >> it is a pattern starting with himself, who is a multiple-accused abuser of women. you know, he said he felt sorry for brett kavanaugh here, having to deal...

Drunken high school daze in "wasted, tales of a gen x drunk noimpt i heard he puked in someones car the other night. yeah, he passed out on his way back from a party. meanwhile, blaise fords attorney alleges sexual assault. >> she believes that but for his inebriation and his inability to take her clothes off he would have raped her. >> reporter: the accusers attorney said she struggled whether to come forward and finally talked to the washington post after her identity became known through pres...
