Sen. Cory Booker decided to simplify all of the Kavanaugh and Republican obfuscation during his five minutes of questioning at Thursdays Senate Judiciary Committee hearing. He spent time making Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh clearly explain that the persecution of Brett Kavanaugh wasnt Dr. Christine Fords faultit was the Democratic political apparatus.
It was an important thing to separate for the world because Sen. Booker wanted to say one thing: so fucking what? What does it matter that Democratic senators are politically motivated? So fucking what? There are unbelievably serious charges being levied against Brett Kavanaugh, and regardless of how political you find the process of politics to be, those charges do not go away.
Sen Booker: She was not doing this for political effort in 2012 when she talked to her therapist about this attack. She was not coordinating about this painful experience when she made revelations to her husband. She did not coordinate in 2013, 2017before you were nominatedthat wasn't coordination.
Kavanaugh: All the witnesses who were there say it didn't happen. Ms. Keyser is her longtime friend, said she never saw me at a party with or without Dr. Ford.
Sen. Booker wasnt about to let Kavanaughs stupid charade of incomplete quoting of witnesses stand.
Sen Booker:--and Ms. Keyser has said clearly, I'll quote what she said, she said she does not remember the night in questionthat supports what you saidbut she also said she believes Dr. Ford.
