GOP Moves Forward with Vote on Kavanaugh Despite Dr. Blasey Ford Testimony

The Republican-led Senate Judiciary Committee is preparing to vote on the confirmation of Supreme Court justice nominee Brett Kavanaugh after an extraordinary day of testimony from Kavanaugh and Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, who testified she is “100 percent positive” that Kavanaugh attempted to rape her at a high school party in 1982. During the hearing, Kavanaugh said he was innocent and claimed he was the victim of a left-wing plot of “revenge on behalf of the Clintons.” We play Dr. Blasey Ford’s full opening statement.
