and respect, would there have been a benefit to really going after her? >> laura: you must understand what i'm saying. guys, i'm not saying going after her.yo joe, you know this from your days. you can ask questions. okay, just answer simple questions. they were really tough on brett kavanaugh. i mean, they were really tough on him. >> this hearing was never going to be equal that way that way. >> laura: again, i think everyone is worried, ari, that women are watching and women aren't going to vote for republicans. i think a lot of women watched this and they think, i have brothers, sons, and husbands and coworkers who i don't want one allegation uncorroborated to destroy them. it might be -- this can be true but i think -- i could see why people say that she seems sympathetic but maybe it is because i know brett kavanaugh for 28 years. i know the kind of person he is. that probably does color but ier think about all of this i think the republicans -- they the day was saved by brett kavanaugh and lindsey graham.
