Now four of the committees ten democrats are women. on the republican side, all 11 are white men. joining me now, two conservatives, republicans, amanda carpenter, former communications for credit cruz and co-chair of women vote trump. i am joined by two republican women that sit on the senate judiciary committee. how and why is that a problem, if at all? >> it is a problem. i do think it is more generational than anything. but the subject matter trumps all. i dont know how anyone gets out of th...

They have to lean heavily on the accounts of other women. i think it is unknown how it is going to work. if we do end up in this hearing, you will have one important woman who will be out there and her testimony and how credible she is i think will certainly dwarf any letters of other testimonials that come forward. >> the time line that the republicans set out, thats already blown up. but even yesterday there were republicans that were saying, yes, lets hear from them maybe by telephone but hol...

Given his normal propensity to have the fbi and justice department get involved all the time, whether they want to or not. calling for them in the past to investigate hillary clinton and her private e-mail server again. clinton and the uranium-1 deal. the clinton foundation for alleged corruption. the obama administration for what president trump called without evidence illegal surveillance of the campaign. james comey. mccabe. ly lisa page and on and on. i could continue, of course. its only an...

Openness and desire to hear from her. and instead, put all of his sort of elbow throwing toward die si -- dianne feinstein and slam the democrats for the way that they handled this. the democrats say that she wanted to remain confidential. thats what dianne feinstein has said in trying to explain why she handled it the way that she did. >> respecting her wishes. >> that is what senator feinstein says is the reason why she handled this way. >> hang on, senator mcconnell is still talking. >> dr. f...

Well dissect what we 4erd heard in a second, but my two cents. prefer to her by her name. she is not anonymous. she is not the woman as you referred to her, she is not the accuser, they is christine blasey ford. gloria, david, nia and caitlyn are with me. gloria, you heard the president say we should go through a process, i think he is inferring that we should offer to hear her out. he is again blame game on the democrats. not a lot of compassion for the possible victim. >> no, look, i think the...

Ask me in a couple of days. i might go back to being my true self. >> brett kavanaugh was there today and there for more than nine hours yesterday and the president said he has not asked him about this. this is an incredible pick for the short-term. he is under water in the polls and heading into a tough mid-term climate we will talk about the a pointes and neal gorsuch being one. 20 or 30 years from now, this could be the most consequential. i dont want to get involved because i will get asked ...

Shaping up to be a battle. whats the latest? >> thats right. behind closed doors, in mitch mcconnells office, republicans on the committee are trying to figure out their strategy going forward. now that dr. ford, the accuser of brett kavanaugh has not confirmed whether she will attend and how they will proceed. republicans believe this hearing should still happen, but the democrats say it should be fully investigated and an fbi background check looking into this matter before the hearing. the to...

Have brought them forward a long time ago and said it seems to be a pattern of democratic resistance and added a campaign against me. but the president also said the accuser should tell her story in a public hearing. the question now is whether she will. >> i feel so badly for him that hes going through this, to be honest with you. i feel so badly for him. this is not a man that deserves this. >> reporter: with the supreme court confirmation of kavanaugh hanging in the balance, president trump e...

And on the floor of the senate should be delayed until there can be a full, fair process here. >> we should say, the other person who was allegedly in the room, according to the accuser. who do you think has the burden of proof here? ford or kavanaugh? >> to talk about a burden of proof is to analogize it to a trial. here were making a choice about the next supreme court justice, whose integrity and qualifications really have to be established. and this claim -- and by the way, i believe dr. for...

And yet still somewhat trapped by it. >> nia, im coming to you. but quickly caitlin, youre in the room. what was your biggest takeaway. >> reporter: the presidents biggest argument here was that this is a man who does not deserve this. now, the presidents exact quote. and president trump voicing sympathy for his family, for him, saying essentially that he should not be having to go through this, that it is a terrible thing that he is having to go through with this allegation. now, the president ...
