Former Rep. Edwards: Kavanaugh Acted Like a ‘Bully,’ Reminded Me of a Sexual Predator

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:

WILLIAMS: "Congress, Donna Edwards of the state of Maryland has been very patient in our Washington studios waiting for us to get to her which required a break. Congress woman, as I said, it has been a long day's journey and tonight it is a lot to sum up, but I'd love to hear you out."
EDWARDS: "It is. And like a lot of America I was riveted by it. First of course by the very compelling and credible testimony of Dr. Ford. She came across as a real human being, just telling her story. And then of course listening to Judge Kavanaugh and it was surprising to me that he -- he seemed like a bully, frankly and it reminds me -- it took me back to my old days as a victim advocate working with victims of domestic violence and sexual assault and seeing their perpetrators across the table or across the courtroom and that kind of confrontation and it really felt very much like that. And so I was struck. I was struck by the fact that he kept interrupting the democratic senators. It was unbelievable, in fact. And he showed the most interruption I think to some of the women members of that Senate panel. And then of course he would not answer the question ever about submitting to -- or making a request to the White House for an FBI investigation. And I think that that was damning. I think that if he believes in his -- his story, his truth, then he should want to submit that so that he could enter the court if he's going to do that without anything hanging over -- over his term and he is unwilling to do that and that suggests to me that he doesn't want to find out the answers to that question. And he doesn't want the rest of us to find out either."
