Gillibrand: GOP Put Ford on Trial By Bringing Sex Crimes Prosecutor

RUSH EXCERPT:

GILLIBRAND: "Well, I thought her role in the first place was highly concerning. The fact that they asked a prosecutor to ask questions of Dr. Blasey Ford, as if she’s on trial, she’s not on trial, she was bringing forth credible allegations at a this committee needed to assess and then look at Judge Kavanaugh and assess his credibility. And then the fact that she starts to question Judge Kavanaugh and then is cut off by the Republican Senators and dismissed. I mean, it really wasn’t fair. And it just goes to the heart that this hearing was never set up to be fair. It was never set up to get to the bottom of it. The fact that, again, Judge Kavanaugh could not answer the question, five democratic senators asked him, will you ask for an FBI investigation and he could not say yes, not once. He continued to obfuscate, to pivot to different issues, to filibuster and talk about things that was not being asked about. I just thought his behavior and the content of his testimony was absolutely inappropriate."
