Ed Markey: GOP Base Not as ‘Galvanized’ as Those ‘Outraged’ at How Ford Was Treated

‘What we are seeing here is an historic uprising, especially of women in our country who really do feel that this president has to have a check be placed upon him’

EXCERPT:

MARKEY: "It’s not as galvanized as the Democratic base. It’s not as galvanized as those who were outraged at the way in which Dr. Blasey Ford was treated before the Senate Judiciary Committee and then entire process for the confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh. I think what we are seeing here is an historic uprising, especially of women in our country who really do feel that this president has to have a check be placed upon him. Otherwise preexisting conditions which are protections for those who have health care needs with preexisting conditions or the entire Affordable Care Act or Roe vs. Wade can all just be swept away. It can be completely overturned by Brett Kavanaugh’s vote on the Supreme Court.”
