36. hit The Republicans Hard On What They Didn't Do
Fri Oct 5, 2018, 11:40 PM
Oct 2018

They didn't lift a finger to find the facts. And they insulted Dr. Ford claiming she was mixed up and has mistaken identity. Never mind her statement that what she remembers most vividly is the laughter and she is 100 percent sure it was Kavanaugh. It was a hit job on the victims without even an attempt to determine the facts. What a sad day for America.
