Brett Kavanaugh has been accused of alleged \u2014 of attempted rape by Christine Blasey Ford. She is giving testimony in front of the Senate. That testimony is compelling. That testimony is believable. Republicans have a female assistant \u2014 their word, not mine \u2014 cross-examining her. That\u2019s not going well. They take a break, and they come back. And Lindsey Graham starts shouting. He doesn\u2019t have a point. He doesn\u2019t have any evidence. He just starts crying and shouting. Smearing, right? And then the rest of the Republicans started shouting, and then Brett Kavanaugh started shouting and crying and whatever. And like that, we go from a serious hearing about a serious allegation to a circus caused by the Republicans to get their guy through. And that is exactly what Lindsey Graham did throughout this hearing. He started screaming, and then the rest of the Republicans followed the line.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>Melber said, \u201cI think there is value to you drawing that link, especially having watched the hearings that it was the other side and their version of that history that came up a lot.
