one of the first times i've seen, it didn't work because you have twitter. u have fox news come and you have the internet and now people have access to primary source documents. they can watch the hearings on demand and they can see for themselves it being filtered through the mainstream media with the real truth was. democrats were fine and they brought dr. ford in. i think most fear americans wanted to hear what she had to say but then you bring in avenatti in these left-wing lawyers and then there was delay and as greg pointed out, they pivoted from rapist to drink or bad temperament. most people see through that stuff. it got to the point where you look down and you say to yourself, this man is being unfairly attacked and we're not going to take it anymore. it's reinvigorated the republican base and i think the democrats really miscalculated here because the character assassinations fails. >> juan: judge, i want to ask
