Orrin Hatch: ‘We Can’t Allow More Time for New Smears Against Judge Kavanaugh’

‘We cannot allow more time for partisans on the left to bait him into submission’

EXCERPT:

HATCH: "Yesterday, we finally were able to hear from Dr. Ford and Judge Kavanaugh. I want to personally thank them. I want to thank them both for attending the hearing and speaking to the committee and to all of us and to the American public as well. After the hearing I saw that Mr. Avenatti thought that the best place for his client to give her first interview was on a show called 'The Circus.' The title is fitting because that is what this process has become. All of my Democratic colleagues have said for weeks that they will vote against Judge Kavanaugh. Here’s where I stand. We can’t allow more time for new smears to damage Judge Kavanaugh, his family, his reputation, the reputation of the court and of course, the reputation of the country. We cannot allow more time for partisans on the left to try to bait Judge Kavanaugh into submission."
