In an interview published on Wednesday, McGrath told the Louisville Courier Journal she "probably" would've voted to confirm Kavanaugh. That ran contrary to what she had posted on social media following Kavanaugh's nomination in summer 2018.

"I was very concerned about Judge Kavanaugh, what I felt like were the far-right stances that he had. However, there was nothing in his record that I think would disqualify him in any way," McGrath said in Wednesday's interview. "And the fact is when you have the President and the Senate, this is our system and so I don't think there was anything that would have disqualified him in my mind."

McGrath added of Ford's allegations, "I think it's credible but given the amount of time that lapsed in between and from a judicial standpoint, I don't think it would really disqualify him."

"I think that with Judge Kavanaugh, yeah, I probably would have voted for him," she said.
