mant that ford get a hearing adamant that ford get a hearing on capitol hill. that the nomination couldn t move forward until she did. that is only fair. but now they are saying the opposite. watch hawaiian senator saying having ford testify in front i m disappointed who have what itself constitute a form of abuse. come forward to say we should hear from her. now she is expecting a modicum of fairness so she is not victimized are saying if she doesn t want to testify, we should go ahead. that is callousness i m appalled by. they are trying to set up a he said or she said scenario to bully her for testifying on monday or not heard at all. the people in congress on the senate judiciary committee, the white men old, by the way are not protecting women. they are protecting a man who is probably guilty. tucker: did you catch the last part?
if his life and his career is railroaded and he is innocent, that is a problem. we should care as a society to i get it right and having balance here. tucker: isn t it the idea we don t punish the innocent and we doe believe in collective punishment, punishing because you are in a group you didn t choose to join. aren t those the core promises of america? why are all the rich and the powerful people saying thehe opposite?he they should but to the broader point of be, tucker. wanting an f.b.i. investigation, as the previous guest said. what is there to investigate? ford doesn t remember where, she doesn t remember when or how she got home. but we are supposed to believe the veracity of the central and the critical claim that judge kavanaugh attempted to try to rape or assault her simply based on her gender. that is wrong. the allegations are for 36 years ago. if that is the premise of
i am confused how it dignifies her safety to interview her in private to get the full story? i we say that is what we want. but we don t because it s not about justice. i don t believe that is on off. tucker: it is. it s in print. right. different ways but what theyt. want to do is have the hearing on monday and get to a vote tucker: sorry. as a factual matter senator grassley is in charge of this has a letter he said we want to hear your story, period. what they really want i don tt know because i m not god but they are saying we will send someone to talk to you. why turn it down? they are not entirely interest to hear the story.n tucker: why wouldn t she tell the story? i m sorry. i have tried to be, to givery every benefit of every doubt to this woman. who i have heard nine times is a nice person. but she is accused someone of sexual assault. she has obligations here, too. one is to explain herself. it s not all about her. it s also about kavanaugh and her wife and chi
tucker: really? a she has released notes from the therapist. r she wrote a letter about it at the time. have heard all we need to hear tucker: from her? possibly. she is not the one on trial, tucker. i m not putting her on trial. the allegations are putting a man who says he is innocent on trial. no. they are not. he is acting for an enormous promotion.no tucker: this is hot about i know you don t care at all about justice or the individual, it s all about power.r. that is of course. in this case you have a that is obvious. but this case a father of kids and she accused him. doesn t she have an obligation to explain herself? that is important in justice system. she submitted as letter. why can t there be a f.b.i. investigation? like in anita hill tucker: why not maryland investigation? if you are a senator, you are a lot of things but
they are saying allegation of sexual assault do not matter. tucker: lisa booth is a fellow at the independent women s voice. lisa the u.s. senator from hawai i , you probably saw this. said that it s not just brett kavanaugh guilty. i all men are guilty by definition because they are men. it s not that she believed ford but all when because they are all because they are women. is that the core of the feminist promise?re it s the core of the #metoo movement. remember emily linden, columnist for teen vogue and she tweeted out it s okay if innocent men are caught up in the #metoo movement because it serves a broader purpose. i fundamentally disagree with that. that is the problem with the #metoo movement, it only considers the accuser and itbl doesn t consider the accused. judge kavanaugh s life hangs in the balance here. that is my bigger problem. he won t get a fair hearing. there is to due process in court of public opinion.
