Sen. Chris Coons: ‘I Believe Both Dr. Ford and Deborah Ramirez’

EXCERPT:

COONS: “I believe both Dr. Ford and Deborah Ramirez and I think it’s important that the Senate Judiciary Committee show that 27 years after Professor Anita Hill, another Yale law graduate came forward with alarming accusations against then judge Thomas that we are able to hear them. The question is whether their testimony will be persuasive to those members of the Committee and of the Senate who have not yet publicly made a decision about Judge Kavanaugh. I think for us to make that decision as a Committee and a Senate we should have testimony that’s informed. By experts in how sexual assault and sexual violence impacts memory and a willingness to come forward and we should have the FBI doing a prompt but thorough further background investigation of both of these allegations.”
