buried during confirmation. i mean, there is really a question about what all those e-mails that we didn t see, all the people who weren t interviewed. it is really not a question of impeachment, it is a question of understanding what should have gone should have been part of the nomination and confirmation process now will happen if democrats retake the house. it is not about impeachment at all. and so am i understanding what you are saying you re not prepared to say whether you would support an impeachment effort of justice kavanaugh? is that correct? i think before that happened, there would have to be an attempt to get all the facts out. and that is an important process that was buried by the republicans. let me play what lindsey graham had to say about all of this. watch. i hope everybody running for the house in these purple districts will ask will be ask the question do you support impeaching judge kavanaugh based
