say that he didn t do it, and all of these three people that dr. ford mentioned exonerated him, that is not true. i wonder what you make of when professor ford was testifying, she was being questioned by prosecutor that the must bes picked, when judge kavanaugh, he began being questioned by the same prosecutor, but right after dick durbin got him to was asking him about whether or not he would call for an fbi investigation, he didn t seem to know how to answer it, lindsey graham stepped in, and after that the prosecutor basically disappeared. the prosecutor was there to ask dr. ford the questions, and we know why, because the republicans on the committee did not want to reveal themselves to the american public. and i don t think that the prosecutor did them any favors,
sexually assaulted at a party by brett kavanaugh in 1982. judge kavanaugh denying it all. her allegation, and those of two other women calling the confirmation process, and i m quoting here, a national disgrace. he says his good name has been destroyed over the last few weeks. she says her life was forever altered decades ago by what she says he did to her. at stake in it all is a seat on the highest court in the land. so today was a moment for senators to decide what to do about this particular nominee. but it also may be a moment for voters to decide what today means to them. we re gg to talk with a senator who took part in the questioning today and we ll be bringing you extended moments from both witnesses throughout the hour, starting with this. indelible in the hirvegs hippocampus is the laughter. between the two, and they re having fun at my expense. dr. ford, with what degree of
person? can i argue with that analogy? i m trying to hire a babysitter. the babysitter is accused of things, but then i find out a rival babysitter is the person that accused them of it. few year doing it again. the democrats are not the ones who made the accusation. these women have made the accusation, and the republicans keep saying that without any evidence whatsoever. i want to get a break in. i want to go to chris quickly to see what he s working on. i have a feeling i know. i m doing what everybody should be doing, i m listening to you. this is a really good panel discussion. you have a problem on both sides, and we saw it in realtime today. what kirsten is talking about right now, look, ford made herself vulnerable to criticism about being used as a pawn by the democrats. part of the questioning went to that, where she found her lawyer and how. but on the other side, i just
would be saying that women are too emotional to be in leadership. if judge kavanaugh was as angry in her excuse me, if it is astonishing to watch these temper tantrums, and then what we re supposed to take this seriously. but i want to get back to what you were saying what the democrats are doing. the problem with the way you laid it out is, the democrats, unless you can explain this conspiracy theory to me, because i m having a hard time with it. the democrats did not create dr. blasey ford. they didn t create her accusation or meeting in 2012 with her therapist or the conversations she had in 2013 or in 2016 or in 2017. so i don t know how the democrats created this. she came forward, made this accusation, and yes, i guess democrats are inclined to believe her. but how is that making it a
interrupting people, really acting like donald trump, frankly. which many republicans saw as strength. right. they see it as strength and see it as strength when donald trump does it. i personally don t see it that way. i was sort of alarmed frankly when i look at somebody and think you re going to be on the supreme court and this is howhi seem hike this is the temperment you want in a supreme court justice. and you add in the things he was saying about liberals, what goes around comes around. these respect the things you want to hear a justice be saying. he seems like somebody who has such animus towards democrats and the left. i don t think that reflects very well on him. and i m still having a very hard time following the conspiracy theory where dr. ford is telling the truth, and they all believe her, but then there s a
