defense attorney, and i ve been a judge. every woman who s been victimized needs to be heard. it catch me in 1,000 times over. catch me in for the proposition for everyone woman who comes forward, only god knows how many women and children go to their graves with the abuse. if you don t realize that, you just don t know this area of life. but you are going to be heard in the united states. i had a young man accused of sexual assault when i was in the air force as a defense attorney. the case eventually fell apart, and he almost killed himself. and i have women who have been gang raped, they didn t want to testify, but they did. tough stuff. emotional.
wouldn t have done what you did to the sky. my republican colleagues, if you vote no, you are legitimizing the most despicable thing i have seen in my time in politics. you want this seat? i hope you never get it. i hope you re on the supreme court. that s exactly where you should be. and i hope that the american people will see through this charade. bill: lindsey graham, stealing headlines, unleashing that rebuke for the democrats. just a reminder, viewers have been through this process very y times. we watched for nine hours yesterday. what do you think kavanaugh did when he walked in that room yesterday for his nomination? he came into that room with mission. it wasn t to get confirmed, it was to win back his good name. and i think he won his good name as well.
courtesy, and integrity. his clerks and colleagues sing his praises. he volunteers in the community, he has been an advocate for and mentor to his students. after democrats released of the recent allegations, chairman grassley sent out a process to investigate. he has not been, as some claim, boy. far from it. rather than working with us, the democratic colleagues chose not to participate in this process. indeed, before yesterday, they had never even asked judge kavanaugh a single question about these allegations. yet again and again, the refrain has been the same. delay, delay, delay. i can t blame them for that because they are partisan people. i guess they figured that would be to their advantage. well, it s not. when we heard the serious allegations made by dr. fort, we
collaborating evidence. he will confirm a judge kavanaugh. we want to bring in bret baier again. some felt that he was sending a signal on the floor three days ago, that this is a difficult decision, but he will vote yes, absent more information. that was not presented yesterday. bret: bill, it s hard to overstate the importance of this announcement. this statement is a game changer, not only on this committee but on the senate floor. that makes 48 confirmed g.o.p. yes votes for judge kavanaugh. who we don t know about, senator susan collins from main maine, lisa murkowski from alaska. we don t know where they are. there is some doubt because the senator from wyoming has said that he hasn t committed one way or another. but everybody believes that he is going to vote yes for kavanaugh. sound we have to get to 50, plus a vice president pence, that s would get him across the finish line. and then the others that we don t know about our democrats.
help me in voting down judge kavanaugh s nomination. he does not have the veracity or the temperament for a lifetime appointment to the highest court in our nation. to be confirmed in the face of a serious and credible and unresolved allegation of assaults. senator graham. thank you. i know i am a single white male from north carolina, and i am told i should shut up, but i will not shut up. i got here the same way everybody else did. the people in south carolina voted for me. men and women. and i m going to try to be there voice today. and maybe not just for south carolina, but a little bit about what i think is going on here. joe biden, i can t believe we are saying that on our side, listen to joe. but joe is right a lot. joe biden is a unique guy.
