Kavanaugh Testifies in Front of Senate Judiciary Committee
Ford testified first.
Christine Blasey Ford, the woman who accused Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault, testified all morning in front of the committee. You can view the roundup post for all that information.
Now it’s time for Kavanaugh to launch his defense.
Durbin Tried to Play Gotcha, Falls Flat on His Face
Maybe people should listen to Kavanaugh’s opening statement because he said he is open to ANY kind of investigation.

Lindsey Graham EXPLODES

Gloves off, Lindsey Graham lays a few haymakers on his Democrat colleagues… "If you wanted an FBI investigation, you could have come to us. What you want to do is destroy this guy's life, hold this seat open and hope you win in 2020. You've said that. Not me." pic.twitter.com/PqeNmZoWgd

Kavanaugh Opening Statement
Kavanaugh begins his opening statement denying the allegations. He is visibly angry. He says he has welcomed any kind of investigation, including the FBI, because it would clear him.
Judge Brett Kavanaugh: "I denied the allegation immediately, categorically and unequivocally. All four people allegedly at the event, including Dr. Ford's longtime friend Ms. Keyser, have said they recall no such event." https://t.co/005BvMqW3Y pic.twitter.com/rHTYdxXhHV

You cannot blame him for being so mad. As he said, these accusations have the potential to ruin his life along with his family.
Judge Brett Kavanaugh: "I was not at the party described by Dr. Ford. This confirmation process has become a national disgrace." https://t.co/005BvMqW3Y pic.twitter.com/qH18Tva983

Kavanaugh reminds everyone that Democrats had already made up their mind to vote against him.
Kavanaugh: "This confirmation process has become a national disgrace." He says the "advise and consent" function of Congress has become "search and destroy." He attacks "the left."

Kavanaugh seems absolutely furious, and it's not just directed at Blasey Ford. He says political opponents have proven they will do anything "to blow me up and take me down." He says the behaviour of Democrats on the committee at his last hearing was "embarrassing."
