Chris Wallace on Flake Deal: It ‘Could Be a Serious Setback’ to the Kavanaugh Nomination

‘I certainly have never seen anything quite like this play out live on national television’

EXCERPT:

FAULKNER: "All right. Let’s continue here on Fox News Channel. And I do want to bring in Chris Wallace and Bret Baier. I said before, Chris, that this is unprecedented. Am I right about that and what happens next?"

WALLACE: "In the course of Congress there have been some last-minute deals. I've certainly have never seen anything quite like this play out live on national television. And this is — it was fascinating to watch. And potentially it could be a serious setback to the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh. And let me explain. You were exactly right in what you said. Flake is just one vote and he is just offering one opinion which is that he wants to see a week’s delay in the Senate floor consideration, at most a week’s delay while the FBI holds — conducts its investigation. But, in the end, Mitch McConnell and it isn't really Mitch McConnell and Schumer. It’s Mitch McConnell as the Majority Leader who sets the schedule on the Senate floor."
