now, when these two old men of the senate, orin hatch and chuck grassly, lie to us now they lie as if they don t know that the video still exists. they lie as if they don t know there s a congressional record of every word they ve ever spoken on the committee floor. they believed an investigation that only lasted a few days was the appropriate thing to do in response to anita hill s accusations. and now they re saying there s no reason to do that before hearing dr. ford s testimony. this means it s being issued with malice. chuck grassly won t even give her what he thought was appropriate for anita hill. before he then abused anita hill. he personally did in that hearing. and we saw what they did to anita hill. we saw what those republican senators did to anita hill when she came into their hearing room.
going into a hearing. it needs to be a full and fair hearing. it is a not a he said-she said. it is not two witnesses. it is all the witnesses the fbi can find through a thorough investigation before the hearing starts. that s what we need. that s what justice demands. that s what truth demands. it s what respect for women demand. and women will be watching and listening and vote in accordance with what the senate does now. let s once again let orin hatch of 1991 prove to you tonight that the orin hatch of today is lying about there being no time for an fbi investigation. i m not going to be happy with just an ethics investigation. i don t think anybody is. i want you to order an fbi investigation. i want an investigation by real
ranking member thurman, when they heard about this the first time they immediately ordered this fbi investigation, which was a very right thing to do. it s the appropriate thing to do. they did what every other chairman and ranking member have done in the past. and the investigation was done and it was a good investigation. they immediately ordered this fbi investigation, which was a very right thing to do. that is kind of uniquely orin hatch verbiage. it s the appropriate thing to do. they did that. they did what every other chairman and ranking member have done in the past and what orin hatch said there was true. it was true then. it s true now, but orin hatch won t say it now.
hearing. and we saw what they did to anita hill. we saw what those republican senators did to anita hill when she came into their hearing room. dr. ford says brett kavanaugh sexually assaulted her, tried to rape her, she believes. brett kavanaugh says nothing like that ever happened. one of them, one of those two people wants the fbi to investigate and the other one doesn t. why isn t brett kavanaugh demanding an fbi investigation? why? why not? why doesn t brett kavanaugh want to submit to the best professional investigators we have, and why does dr. ford want to submit to an investigation by the fbi? why does she want to do that? and why do the republicans on the senate want to save brett kavanaugh from ever facing an fbi question about this? every reason that they give is a lie every single reason. you just saw orin hatch say it s the appropriate thing to do. you saw chuck grassly say that
judiciary committee history. and only one of them knows chuck grassly s personal history with this subject. and that is the 87-year-old republican orin hatch who sits beside chuck grassly in the senate judiciary committee now. they are the two republicans on committee who have been here tomorrow. they are the two republicans who personally bullied professor anita hill when she came before that same committee to testify against clarence thomas to the supreme court because she said he had committed repeated acts of sexual harassment against her in the workplace and elsewhere. they are the only two republicans still sitting on that committee 27 years later. 27 years after disgracing themselves when anita hill testified to the committee. they re still there. anita hill s accusations against clarence thomas were investigated by the fbi. and at the time everyone thought that was a reasonable thing to
