Those parties . Should we leave this to the next round, mr. Chairman . Answer the question. Im just happy to describe them if you wanted me to and im happy to not. Just whatever you want, whatever is your preference. Maybe this will cut to the chase. My question is was there anything else that was sexually inappropriate, any inappropriate sexual behavior on the part of mr. Kavanaugh towards you at any of these other functions . No. Senator harris. Dr. Ford, first of all, just so we can level set, you know you are not on trial. You are not on trial. You are sitting here before members of the United States Senates Judiciary Committee because you had the courage to come forward, because, as you have said, you believe it was your civic duty. I was struck in your testimony by what you indicated as your intention when you first let anyone associated with these hearings know about it. And what you basically said is you reached out to your representative in the United States congress hoping th
Im not an activist, and i look at this and see this in a completely different way than you see it. And i think these people should be taken seriously. The problem is, this would be quite a conspiracy for her to have been telling her therapist in 2012 about this, for her having discussed this with a friend in 2013. I mean, thats an amazing conspiracy on the part of the democrats. The name was mentioned to her husband, and she told three other people who have done sworn affidavits that it was a person who was currently a pral federal judge and someone she went to high school with. Thats an amazing conspiracy for the democrats to have known in the future this was going to happen. The other thing is, if this is what democrats do, then why didnt they do it to neil gorsu gorsuch, who went to georgetown prep, and nobody can seriously suggest democrats werent upset about that seat after what happened to merrick garland. And so but see, its a seat that was stolen in their eyes from the democrat
Fantastical, literally unbelievable. Beinger at the traited by very evil people. Some of them are democrats; its a con game at the highest level. We are talking about the United States Supreme Court. Steve this is where we come from studio f office very busy thursday. Brian brian unbelievable scene in washington today. The president of the United States says so much focus on the kavanaugh situation as it goes with his accuser, dr. Ford. I might not even do anything with Rod Rosenstein today. I might put that aside because he wants to watch in between meeting with world leaders. Ainsley were going to be watching. The hearings will start at 9 00. They will be facing the Senate Judicial committee. A committee of men. You have 11 republicans. And you have 10 democrats, and they will take turns alternating every five minutes asking questions to the accuser and Brett Kavanaugh. Brian unless the prosecuting attorney from arizona will take the senators time, she could continue to take the five
This is cnn tonight. Im don lemon. It is a little past 11 00 on the east coast. Were live with new developments for you. Whiplash could be a good description of what went on in washington today. Remember how President Trump insisted there was no need for an fbi investigation of the charges against nominee Brett Kavanaugh . Nothing to see here. Lets just vote. Well, that was before republican senator jeff flake, trumps nemesis had a change of heart and demanded the very fbi investigation that the president was trying to avoid. Since every republican vote in the senate is crucial, the president he had no choice but to go along winning an investigation of whats being called current credible allegations. Listen to what senator flake says about that tonight. When we talk about credible allegations, can you explain what ha means, what youre looking for from the fbi . Obviously, that includes allegations so to interview people there and also im sure that the new yorker piece and its allegatio
To respond to those other allegations that have come out just this week. Obviously on the republican side, they are going to be trying to boost his credibility. There will be a lot of leading questions if there even are questions, and so youll see the difference similar to how we saw earlier this morning. I wouldnt expect a lot on dr. Ford from the democratic side. It will be very interesting to see how he responds to the questions about drinking and whether his answers are shifting, as cynthia said they have started to. Whats so remarkable is that anita hill happened in 1991 and theres still no process put in place exactly. To deal with an allegation like this, to deal with a circumstance where someone being considered for a very highprofile, significant job in the federal government, theres not a process to deal with an allegation against them. Its 2018. The courts know how to deal with this both criminally and civilly. There are different standards for both, rightly so. There should
