To have on the democratic side women who will be questioning them, and then you have no women on the republican side, so the optics are bad. before we go, i want to get this in. i have to point out this ridiculous comment. it's made by north dakota representative kevin cramer. he says the allegation of sexual assault, even if true, should not disqualify kavanaugh, he says. he says, well, she admits she was a 15-year-old that had been drinking at a party that i mean how many 15-year-olds handle a lot of alcohol, you know, 36 years ago? what do you say to that? >> yeah. well, i think it may disq...

Why they also, like dr. ford is alleged to have experienced with brett kavanaugh, didn't come forward. can you imagine any woman having the bravery, if something like this happened to her, to be subjected to the president of the united states attacking her in this fashion? i mean it just -- it's really one of those moments that, you know, on the one hand there's this political process unfolding that we're talking about tonight. on the other hand, this is also a cultural moment it seems to me that we're experiencing. and i would not underestimate the rage of women who have experienced these kin...
