As someone who deals with domestic violence survivors and rape victims, I’m disgusted by the politicizing of this hearing…partizan chest pumping and political statements don’t equal transparent fact orientated inquisitive questions… pic.twitter.com/v4rkzzVMqB

Judge Kavanaugh showed America exactly why I nominated him. His testimony was powerful, honest, and riveting. Democrats’ search and destroy strategy is disgraceful and this process has been a total sham and effort to delay, obstruct, and resist. The Senate must vote!

U.S. Senator Claire McCaskill released a statement Thursday night that said:
“As I have said previously, the allegations made by Dr. Ford which she courageously testified to today are concerning and should be thoroughly investigated by both the Judiciary Committee and FBI before the Senate moves forward on this nomination. However as I’ve said, my decision to vote against Judge Kavanaugh is based on his opinions that there should be no limits on dark, anonymous contributions by corporations and even foreign interests influencing our elections.”
