No president has ever consulted more widely or talked with more people from more backgrounds to seek input about a supreme court nomination. of course, that is self-evidently not true. he made an untruthful statement and a political statement with his first utterance as a new nominee for the court. now the rage and the anger that we saw from him today i think is appropriate for somebody who feels that they are falsely accused. but as you go through this, it makes no sense why someone who is fals...

Fbi did conduct a background investigation into you before we were aware of these most recent allegations. so, are you willing to ask the white house to do that? and say yes or no and we can move on. >> six backgrounds over 26 years -- >> sir, as it relates to the recent allegations, are you willing to have them do it? >> the witness testimony is before you. no witness who was there supports that i was there -- >> okay, im going to take that as a no. did you watch dr. fords testimony? >> i did n...

Conversation, a number of our colleagues also had very sharp conversations with each other about some of the partisanship and some of the posturing. i frankly think that what senator flake is trying to do is to both achieve a brief, credible investigation of allegations in front of us and serve as a role model as he has for me today of someone who is willing to take a real political risk and upset many in his party by asking for a pause so that the american people can hear that we are able to wo...

It. to see the degeneracy of our politics, the cost of partisanship in our institutions. look, i thought that dr. ford was very credible, and i think that brett kavanagh -- and it pains me to say it -- has a credibility problem. t we have a -- we have in politics, we often say that the outcome is determined by the last big thing that happened as opposed to the first thing that happened.to and we know this. this is the first thing at the beginning of the process that th brett kavanagh said. he sa...

That brett kavanagh -- and it pains me to say it -- has a credibility problem. we have a -- we have in politics, we often say that the outcome is determined by the last big thing that happened as opposed to the first thing that happened. and we know this. this is the first thing at the beginning of the process that brett kavanagh said. he said, mr. president, thank you. throughout this process i have witnessed firsthand your appreciation for the vital role of the american judiciary. no president...

Nominee has ever done. he decided to do a television interview defending himself and he got himself in more trouble in the television interview because he so openly and provably lied in that interview, which should not be terribly surprising because, who can forget that the very first words that brett kavanagh spoke as a supreme court nominee were a lie. >> no president has ever consulted more widely or talked with more people for more backgrounds to seek input about a supreme court nomination -...
