Chris Coons: ‘I’m Comfortable Voting Against Judge Kavanaugh Tomorrow’

‘I do know that there are members who had — who paused after Dr. Ford’s testimony, which was compelling’

EXCERPT:

COONS: “I’ve had a number of conversations with friends and colleagues just to sort of put forward my views on what’s happened and why I’m comfortable voting against Judge Kavanaugh tomorrow, but I could not say in any appropriate public way that they are undecided about what to do tomorrow. I do know that there are members who had — who paused after Dr. Ford’s testimony, which was compelling, and who wrestle with the apparent contradiction between Judge Kavanaugh’s certainty that he did not commit a sexual assault and Dr. Ford’s compelling testimony that she was a victim of sexual assault by Judge Kavanaugh, and there are colleagues who have wrestled with how to reconcile that. My hope is that they look beyond just the materials that were in front of us today from the FBI, but also consider some of the folks who tried to testify to the FBI but were not able to and have now had their reports made public or who are seeking to talk to senators.”
