Investigation into sexual misconduct allegations against Brett Kavanaugh who is Is nominee for the U.S. . In court the Senate committee voted to approve his nomination to the top U.S. Court but a Republican member only backed the move on the understanding that the inquiry would take place Judge Kavanaugh denies allegations from at least 3 women Molly Ball is the national political correspondent for Time magazine Molly appreciate you talking to us sir me what has happened over Friday with regards to this bring us up to speed please. Well a huge surprise development this morning in the committee hearing of the Senate committee that that has to advance the nomination to the full Senate was expected to be rather a slam dunk since Republicans were the majority of the committee and after the previous day's very dramatic testimony from Dr Christine blood on the floor the principal accuser of Brett Kavanaugh who came forward to accuse him of having sexually assaulted her some 36 years ago and then the subsequent very fiery very angry very emotional testimony by the nominee himself declaring his innocence most of the Republicans who control the committee in the end seem to side with him and plans to vote for him but then this morning in this committee hearing one Republican a retiring senator who has been quite critical of Trump and who considers himself sort of the conscience of the Senate Jeff Flake at the last minute even though he'd already announced he would support the nomination at the last minute he reversed himself he conferred with some of his Democratic friends and he declared that for the sake of the nation in order to not further divide America over this issue he asked for a delay in the process he asked for as. Up to a week for the F.B.I. To conduct an investigation see if they could run any of these facts to ground and bring any more clarity to the situation whether to exonerate Brett Kavanaugh or to or or or or to go in the other direction but just to try to find some of these facts and in so doing he hopes to be able to bring the parties together and have the nomination be a little bit less divisive a sense of where it was in France was a confrontation by an end of several things in the corridors of power. Well so a lot of been made of this confrontation Senator Flake was confronted by a couple of liberal protesters. Pro-abortion rights protesters who told who could have told him about their own experiences with sent with sexual assault and and confronted him with that an accused him of not caring about them and about women and he seemed very uncomfortable and I think it did seem to affect him however I don't think that that was the primary influence on Senator Flake I think it had more to do with his concerns about about how divided America is and his concerns about civility in the processes of the Senate in saying that he wanted this to lay he talked more about wanting it the this process to be less divisive and wanting the country to be less divided and seeing this investigation as something that might enable people to come together around an earnest fact finding effort and not to feel that this was strictly a partisan matter that had been jammed through without regard for the for the truth to move fool this F.B.I. Investigation will take. It's actually very unclear that the Republican leadership in the White House quickly acceded to Senator Flake demand and tasked the F.B.I. With confronting an investigation that was supposed to be limited in time and scope and the scope was to be limited to credible current accusations but it wasn't specified what those are whether it would only be the accusation from Dr blocky for the most prominent of of the accusers and the one who's been given the most credence but there have been subsequent named accusers 2 of them that we that we primarily know of one from his college years and another. Also from high school who said that he was present at parties where gang rapes occurred but did not accuse him directly of participating in those. Very very much less to go on about those accusations it's not clear whether those will fall under the scope of the F.B.I. Investigation but the F.B.I. Is treating this as a sort of sequel to the routine background checks that are conducted on government officials and on nominees for public office and on. People who are hoping to have access to secret information so we think that they will do their standard procedure for those types of investigations but it is not at all clear that the White House and the F.B.I. Have both declined to say to specify which exactly of the allegations and. About the great American public what do they make of the spectacle that there was witnessing on live television every day not. You know it has really been remarkable how transfixed America has been by this entire drama on Thursday when the hearing began and particularly during Dr blazin Ford's incredibly emotional and raw and authentic testimony the entire country seemed to come to a standstill it was as if no phones were ringing no trains were running in airports and shopping centers and offices all over the country people were watching this testimony it was incredibly emotional people were crying men and women alike people calling in to public television elderly women talking about their experiences with men decades ago I it was it was an incredibly emotional thing for the entire country and at the end of the day it felt like all of America was was almost rung out from emotion I didn't whether you can speculate as to whether this is a pivotal moment in. The wider conversation in America around me and so. How is this nomination a game changer. Yeah I you know I can't predict how this nomination is going to turn out or how the election is going to turn out or anything else but I do think that this is a watershed moment in our culture and one that we will look back on for quite a long time because precisely as you said because it is part of this larger cultural conversation about women's voices and about women's power because it comes in the middle of this wrenching. Global conversation that we've been having about whose voice deserves to be heard and who deserves to be believed and who has the authority to determine how women are treated and so this is undoubtedly going to be a moment that we look back on no matter whether or not Brett Kavanaugh ends up on the United States Supreme Court is going to be a moment that we look back on as a really important moment in our culture because something isn't this this president divides America and yet through his presidency as a surprise through the prism of his presidency has instigated a conversation about race about us about. America and arguably about. Gender relationships in America as well that this very present and yet And yet the way seeing you Washington doesn't seem to refer back to him because clearly there be a question should be about his choices whether guilty or not guilty the fact that a choice is so controversial as to brood this kind of I imagine I wanted published . You know everything in Washington these days and in some ways everything in America revolves around Trump has really become our national drama in a way that and I've been covering politics for all of for over a decade and no other president has so completely flooded the zone of the American sort of brain space right and maybe it feels like that in the rest of the world as well but you're right it has opened a lot of very raw wounds about some of the issues that divide us the most as a society but it's the conversation about about women that I think is the most. Prevalent particularly in the political sphere and the dominant story line of our politics in the last 2 years has been the rise of the angry woman if you look at polls if you look at all of the elections that have been held since November of 2016 if you look at the marches in the streets and the people running for office there is only one trend that connects all of that and that is the angry American woman standing up and demanding to be heard and that is going to be I think the driving force of this midterm election and is entirely a reaction it is whether you like it or not whether you're for it or not it is entirely a backlash to the election of 2. Sat me down from Moscow completely try to question why American women. Well they saw Trump get elected they saw someone be elected president who had been credibly accused of sexual misbehavior with over a dozen women and they saw a country that seemed to have overlooked that and elected him despite that having happened and so you know certainly these are mostly liberal women are mostly Democratic women but there has been a sense of awakening and I think it does go beyond Trump right it goes to the larger cultural. Discussion that we're having it goes to people like Harvey Weinstein or Les Moonves or Al Franken a Democrat it isn't a partisan phenomenon entirely that women are waking up and looking around them and seeing that all of the men who've been the mediators of our culture and our politics all of the people who decided what stories were told on television and and what laws were made that govern behavior and all of the perceptions of our culture and seeing how tainted they were and seeing them brought down in these scandals I think there's been a profound awakening on the part of a lot of women the number of women seeking office is an order of magnitude beyond anything we've ever seen before in all of the elections that have been held since Donald Trump was elected I see this incredible galvanization of women voters which is not the case floor for young people or for racial minorities or other groups that while they dislike the president just haven't been mobilized in quite that way . But as you said as you hinted at it this isn't the case for all American women is not all American women waking up to this new dawn is a present charm him self has so much support from women who don't care how many accusations or allegations or facts are proven against him whether it be sexual politics or otherwise I wonder whether the new America where women are waking up that you describe isn't an America of the educated East and West Coasts rather than that huge expense in the middle where charm finds his support for men and women. Well that's a valid point it is not a coastal K'naan it appears to be the case all over the country and all regions and and all classes but it is if there is an education divide it is largely college educated women who has made this incredible shift. But. But it does cross a lot of demographic categories. I and of course there are still a lot of women who support Trump but the gender gap in our politics has never been larger and that's somewhat worrisome right that we are being divided and sorted into different political parties according to our genders and men pitted against women in the same way that that arguably whites have been pitted against blacks and the rich against the poor that's not but that hasn't been a prevalent phenomenon really in our politics up to now and it would be worrisome if that began to be the case nonetheless if you're just looking I mean I'm a political reporter I look at polls I look at numbers I look at what is changing and when you look at what has changed in the Trump era the largest shift has been this shift among women if course it's not a universal phenomenon in some ways it's a quite marginal phenomenon but it is the thing that has changed in the Trump era is this movement among women particularly among college educated women this has been such a fascinating conversation money Genuity giving us an insight into you know aspects of what's going on but there's one question the my last one. The one question. Is can promote skewed go back for 2 years we saw will need to accuse Clarence Thomas Supreme Court judge of similar kind of shoes as Brit governor is having to withstand at the moment and we know the cards Thomas was nominated and elected as a Supreme Court judge. And 30 years later that that case doesn't seem to have the residents I could be wrong you might beg to differ as wonder what without trying to 2nd guess what the outcome of this case will be I'm not as interested in that as I am in what you think the the lingering impact of it will be will this case come and go and will America for back in place or have we come to a point of no return. It's a great question obviously I can't know what the future will hold but it is it has been fascinating to look back on the Clarence Thomas case in light of what's happening today because Clarence Thomas was confirmed to the Supreme Court and Anita Hill in retrospect was treated quite shabbily by both Republicans and Democrats during that episode but a year later there was an election and American women storms to the polls and the number of women in Congress which were there were only 2 women in the entire United States Senate that confirmed Clarence Thomas the number of women in Congress overall doubled in 1902 it was a huge wave of angry women who went to the polls and you had an entire generation of women politicized by that episode one of them in fact was Dianne Feinstein who ran for Senate in California in 1902 specifically because of how upset she was about Clarence Thomas today she is the top Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee that is hearing the testimony of Chris Christie and was the Ford and Brett Kavanaugh So these affected to reverberate down the generations and it isn't a matter of what the outcome is of this particular episode so much as it is all of the people who are watching this how they will be affected and the last thing I would say is you do see I've written a lot about what what has and hasn't changed since the Clarence Thomas episode and the respect with which Dr blood before it has been treated is just an order of magnitude different from the way the Anita Hill case was handled it's impossible not to look back on that and see that there has been some progress in the respect that is accorded to a woman who claims to. Have been a victim of sexual violence and the agency that she is a for that there's. Someone who
