but i want to state to you and to the american people in the strongest possible terms that these allegations are false. there were there was a very extensive thorough investigation that dr. wilson described which revealed the truth, nothing happened ever. the colonel on heightened staff alleges that he assaulted her in a california hotel room in 2017. army colonel told the same committee last week that her former boss had subjected her to a series of unwanted sexual advances. she told the new york times she had a moral responsibility to come forward. we know this confirmation hearing is being compared to that of current justice brett kavanau kavanaugh. will this be a tough fight for him? we re going to have to see how it all lines up. the general is a very respected four star admiral as you saw,
galvanize democrats and progressives and women to go to the polls, to declare this is not the country we believe in. this is not reflective of our values. we don t want someone dishonest on the supreme court. we want someone of the highest integrity. this has to galvanize us. if you don t want someone of the highest integrity on this court, and you do not believe that fits the profile of brett kavanau kavanaugh, we not the midterm elections come up. should the democrats get control back of the house, the word impeachment has been thrown around. is that the wisest things for democrats to pursue? or do you think it s a losing battle? i think the most important thing for democrats is to be putting forward a positive agenda for the country, to show the country and particularly the half of the country that wakes up on any given day and it s one

hey, good today i to all of you. i m here in new york. it s high noon in the ickes, and here s what s happening right now. we do have this breaking news. we are just hours away from likely confirmation of the next supreme court justice. mr. president, i will vote to confirm judge kavanaugh. the final key votes swinging in favor of judge brett kavanaugh, sparking celebration and outrage. i have never been angrier or sadder as a member of the united states senate, because it is the result of a cover-up. plus the first lady breaks her silence on where she stands on kavanaugh. i have my own voice and my opinions, and it s very important for me that i express what i feel. all eyes on capitol hill for what is shaping up to be a
