Brett Kavanaugh delivers opening statement at hearing 

I believe in Kavanuagh cuz his story never changed and he had evidence to prove it and Dr. Ford's story has changed multiple times

Innocent until proven guilty!

The fact he acted with anger is actually a good thing. It shows that he is upset at these allegations in which he claims are false. Meanwhile, Dr. Ford tried to cry but couldn't squeeze out one tear and didn't wipe her eyes once.

Where’s the restart button on America..?

This is ridiculous. We can agree this is ridiculous right?

I saw a friend in the Air Force get destroyed by a false allegation of sexual assault. Only when she was finally caught in a lie did his accuser admit it was a complete fabrication. The whole time, she swore it happened and everyone supported her saying "why would she lie? Why would she put herself through this if it didn't happen?" Well... It didn't. Of course, by the time she admitted lying, his reputation had been destroyed. He was never the same. No, I'm not saying all men are innocent of sexual assault. I'm simply saying that we cannot, for the sake of advancing some personal or political agenda, conveniently and recklessly side step due process and the rule of law.

Drinking game alert: Take a Shot everytime Alyssa Milano gives an eye roll during this opening statement

What a sad world when someone can just make an allegation and destroy a persons career, and life. I feel for you Sir. Good Luck To You

As an african american I'm very familiar with being accused of something you are unable to disprove. The african american men in my family and that are friends have been arrested, jailed, fired and broken by false sexual crimes. It is possible that he is innocent and every man should be afraid. If this man's life is ruined by allegations about a 17 year old boy attempts to get sex, then all the 17 years old are in trouble. Watch out someone from your past is coming for you. ........ and you will not be able to clear/defend yourself. Our political system is contaminated.... the lack of respect he has been shown but instead told to have himself investigated.... I asks to be investigated by the FBI. This is crazy

Luke 8:17 "For nothing is hidden that will not become evident, nor anything secret that will not be known and come to light Proverbs 10:9 He who walks in integrity walks securely, but he who perverts his ways will be found out. Proverbs 26:26 Their malice may be concealed by deception, but their wickedness will be exposed in the assembly.

I believe him 💯! This is truly disgusting and he has every damn right to be angry.

My whole family are liberals living in the bay area (California) - they all agree that this testimony is geniune

Tomatoes are a vegetable, I don't care what anyone says. edit: wow 1k likes glad to know there are like-minded people here

Alyssa Milano hasn't had this much camera time in decades.

he is a good man

Shout out to Kavanaughs wife for giving her husband such respect and admiration under such adversities.

Stand your ground sir. Alot of us Americans believe you.

They couldn't make the charges stick so they try to claim his well justified anger in response to this witch hunt shows he does not have the temperament to be a Supreme Court Justice. Seriously this man's family received death threats and he doesn't have the right to be angry?

Even though I am not an American, this is so heartbreaking!

Brett Kavanaugh is not guilty. The stress this ordeal must have brought him and his family must have been immense. Frightening to think that inconsistent, non-evidenced, and, seemingly, maliciously-timed allegations can have this level of impact and exposure.

Soooo...I am going to start saving all my calendars.....

I wish you and your family never had to go through that Hon. Kavanaugh. Falsely accusing someone of a crime is one of the most destructive things you can do to a person. It haunts you, even when your name is properly cleared.

This is a REAL GENTLEMAN!!! A true man!!! Congratulations Justice Kavanaugh!!!

Highly doubt this guy is an oscar worthy liar. This man did nothing

...I have never seen anything so frivolous. Confirm this man already.

I am not a republican but as a fair minded person this allegation has no basis and the political motive is hard to ignore. I say let this be over and let the man have his peace.

I believe this guy man

I'm tired of seeing Alyssa Milano face

When he choked up about his daughter that got me

Be strong, you are innocent 😇 I believe in you, God bless you And gives you strength to overcome this horrible situation in your life affecting you and your family, I feel for you, your wife and your two lovely daughters. I will pray for you and Your lovely family, and I am sure that God will reward you. God bless you

"See, take a look at my calendar...I was with Squee and Donkey Dong Doug. My alibi checks out"

In tears listening to the Judge's testimony and what has been done to him and his family by these allegations. The truth will come out and when it does, I hope all those who have perpetrated this hateful slander and libel against a good man, will pay the most severe price.

Wow! I’m an independent “swing voter”... I have voted in every election since I was 18 and have never once voted along straight party lines, including twice for Obama. This speech is powerful and truly brought me to tears. The minority members of the senate judiciary committee who conspired to commit this attempted character assassination should be ashamed. I’m furious over this affront to our republic!

Being an American citizen that supposedly is protected under the Constitution and our Bill of Rights just took a very scary turn today. The rights of Christine Ford and Judge Kavanaugh were both trampled on today by a disgusting display of nasty politics. Two families are in turmoil tonight as politicians drug both these families through a shit show of humility, fear, sorrow, stress and agony. Two well fortified professionals in their careers. Their children have been dragged into this circus with little to no regard of how traumatizing this whole event has been, or care of how it is impacting these children. This display today was an embarrassment to this country as well as the American people. As Americans. We elect officials in office to represent us. The American People. What I saw today was not what the majority of us Americans are about. It might be what politicians are about. They are not representing me by my morals and values with that display today. It is time American People pull together and as the reason the Constitution was written. Hold our elected officials accountable for their actions. To represent us (The American People) demand they hold themselves to higher standards. To use common sense and reason. To be the leaders that carry our morals and values to the front lines of office and implement change based on such. To Judge Kavanaugh and his family as well as Christine Blasey Ford and her family. My thoughts and prayers to you all during this time. May you find guidance and comfort in our Lord and Savior. Please know the American people are behind you all and in our prayers. Sincerely. An American.

This is my kind of guy. I like! beer too.

The emotional turmoil is immense He needs lots of support and hugs from loved ones

Can't believe what these scumbags have done to this guy....well i can...but...new low.

There is a reason why U.S. Presidents do not nominate high school aged kids to the Supreme Court. Time must elapse to allow a person to grow and develop and prove themselves in various situations...Judge Kavanaugh has proven himself to be the best qualified for the position of Supreme Court Justice. Democrats have also proven themselves to be incredulous liars that belong to a group that is now taken over by anti-American leftists and communists.

Kavanaugh looks like he could use a drink. Preferably, a beer. Maybe 2 beers. OK, a few beers.

Not giving up Mr Kavanaugh show those people ur innocence ..we are with you Dems are already rip

Democrats. What the @$!# are u doing? Ive been a democrats all my life. And im not ready to vote for republicans . i am not going to vote this midterm. I cant believe my eyes.

This man has a very strong personality.. He is fit to be judge.

This is the biggest Grand Slam statement in the history of congressional hearings.

Best wife ever....God bless this family, amen.

This man is exactly who should be in our Supreme Court. He is upstanding, honest, hard working and strong in the face of tribulation. I will never vote democrat, not ever.

I ache for this man... It's disgraceful how far people have gone to discredit him.... With respect to the allegation; all people deserve to be heard but it's unjust to automatically believe what's said. Let's all think about that.

13:25 six separate times...SIX separate fffphffFBI times. HAHAHA

I'm from India, I WAS VERY MOVED to sign in & comment: HE DID NOT DO IT, i saw both testimony, his was from heart. Though he should not have mentioned clinton's.

Innocent until proven otherwise.

1000% behind you Mr. Kavanaugh!!

This is pure agony watching this man defend himself against this fake bs! God forgive them 🙏

Kavanaugh hearing: Emotional Factual Straight story Ford hearing: Smiley Happy Changed story

That closing statement is powerful!! "I am innocent under oath and before he senate, the nation, my family and UNDER GOD" God is he main judge there and may he do justice as only God, Judge Kavanaugh and Dr. Ford know he truth.

I am a liberal. I am a feminist. I am a pro-choice. And I am also sincerely saddened by what this woman’s grossly inflated teenage claims have done to this man. His exemplary character and years of service to his family and the American people have been all but taken away by her self-pitying antics. Smh.

This is what happens when you threaten a man's family. You turn a mild-mannered judge into a fierce bear

Brett Kavanaugh is right and he is exactly who we need as a Supreme Court Justice.

What I loved about all of this is how Liberals whine that women in power aren’t allowed to show anger because they’ll be called unstable and fit for their position but Kavanaugh wasn’t constantly criticized for his anger and emotion. SNL even did a skit about it.

He’s innocent! We can all see that!

If cbs was actually news they would be asking why she wasnt charged for making false statements and interfeering with and election.

After watching this man's testimony, I now know why the Democrats want to stop his confirmation at all costs. He's a determined, honest, and stand-up man who is willing to risk everything to serve our country at the highest level. They are scared of the great things he will accomplish. They fear people like him, who are willing to lose everything for our country, because they don't understand it.

If he’s innocent then those 3 alleged victims just lost their entire lives, careers, reputation, friends, just everything.... for what?? 5 min of fame.???

Alissa Milano in the back 😂😂

It's going to be amazing when all the demoncrats would be arrested for treason, crimes against humanity and Judge Thomas and Kavanaugh can look at evil in the eye and send those treasonous whores to their death camp!

If only due process was applied equally regardless of race.

Innocent unless proven guilty--loved how Feinstein whined that Ford bore the burden of proof. I guess she needs to talk to a real lawmaker about how things work in this country.

The tactics of both parties are deplorable

Watching Brett Kavanaugh speak, you can tell that he is honest and normal. His accuser seems to be just the opposite. I believe what he says here. He seems very genuine to me.

OMG ALL WHAT I CAN SAY IS GOD BLESS YOU MAN AND YOUR FAMILY. 😥 I NEVER MET THIS GUY IN MY LIFE BEFORE BUT I SWEAR HE IS INNOCENT I WILL PRAY FOR YOU 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸⛪🕍🕌💒💒💒💒🏯🌎

One of the strongest men I have ever met. God Bless You, Sir.

Stay Strong Judge Kavanaugh

What the hell do you think the Republicans would have done if they tried to push through Merrick garland??? It would be just like this or worse.

It amazes me the extreme measures some will take to get what they want. There is no telling how much they paid that woman to tell her made up fairy tale of a story. Not one person who even remembered the party where the supposed assault took place. I'm so glad they didn't win. So thankful he was confirmed. Good does prevail at times

42:29. That’s all the democrats need to hear. The rest for them goes right out the window

This was powerful. He left nothing but a smoking crater. Kudos to him for exposing this proceeding as the sham it is.

They picked absolutely and utterly the complete worst person to accuse of some fake shit. Like a fucken movie man. This is do damn powerful I watched the entire thing. *POWERFUL BRET KAVANAUGH*

He is so obviously innocent. This is the saddest thing I’ve seen in a long time. He is opening every single ounce of his heart on the stand here and it is hard to watch such a great man be forced to defend himself to this extent. He is being overpersecuted.

JUDGE KAVANAUGH ... YOU ARE AWESOME AND STOOD STRONG !!! I AM PROUD OF YOU, MY FRIEND !! NEVER SUBMIT TO THE TYRANNY of LIES AND DECEPTIONS ..... FOMENTED BY THE DEMON-RATS !!

A man truly used by God as a tool for all of us to do good and show us a clear path to our own moral compass! We love Judge Kavanagh!

Whether he committed the act or not shouldnt impact his entire life and career on an event as a minor. The distraught emotions pouring out of this man neither prove nor disprove his innocence but definitely show a sense of real human emotions. Whether those emotions are of regret or of fear is not the question, but rather the sincerity of his character. We are but humans, therefore we are not perfect.

This is a “witch pursuit thing”

Wow! Prayers for this man.

Yes! 100% truth! This statement is major badassery!

No good deed goes unpunished, as the saying goes.

why didn't he want an FBI investigation?

He is clear!!!!!!! Innocent

What a beautiful example of how to fight for the truth...God bless Hon Brett M. Kavanaugh. Please let's pray for him and his family. The truth will come out.

What the hell is going on with all these women playing the poor me role 30+ years later. Why didn't you file a report when it happened and if it happened?

With respect to characterizing the alleged incident as an "attempted rape": 1. It is important to note that this characterization was NOT included in Ms. Ford's initial letter to Sen. Feinstein. Rather, this was a gloss added later by her ideological allies and the media. She herself did not say it was an attempted rape in the first instance. Nor did she say so in the written statement she gave her polygraph examiner. She did tell the WaPo that “I believed he was going to rape me,” but even that statement is only a characterization of her own subjective state of mind 36 years later, of whose reliability one is entitled to be skeptical. She offered no specifics to the Post - - nor has she at any other time, to show that her assailants’ intention was rape. 2. Taking Ms. Ford's story at face value, and without considering any other evidence, the incident she describes sounds like drunken teenage pawing at most, not a serious rape attempt. (A) She says that both (or all 3, depending on which version of her story we use) of the boys in the room were laughing the whole time and “highly inebriated” or, as she put it to the WaPo, “stumbling drunk.” (B) She says that one of them, Mark Judge, was repeatedly jumping on the back of the one who pinned her to the bed, which obviously would make it difficult if not impossible for intercourse to occur and sounds like teenage male horseplay, not a real rape attempt. (C) She says in her letter to Sen. Feinstein that the third boy in the room, "PJ" Smythe, was some distance away, alternately yelling "Go for it!" and "Stop!" - - something that only makes sense if this was just drunken horseplay. (D) By any of her accounts, neither of the other two boys (Judge or Smythe) ever attempted to help hold her down or assisted in trying to remove her clothes. (E) Her description of the incident makes clear the she and Kavanaugh were only on the bed for a couple of minutes at most before Mr. Judge jumped on again and the pile "toppled" to the floor. If this were a rape attempt, it was one of the shortest in history. (F) She originally said that while she was on the bed, Kavanaugh "tried to disrobe" her, without saying exactly what he did in that regard. At the Judiciary Committee hearing, however, she testified that Kavanaugh only ran his hands over her (outside her clothes) and "grinded" against her fully clothed; she added no specifics about his removing her clothes, except to say that “he had a hard time” because he was so drunk. (G) She has never said exactly what, if anything, was done to remove her clothes or whether any were in fact removed, completely or partially. She says she was wearing a one-piece swimsuit under other clothes at the time, so that virtually all her clothes would have had to be removed for intercourse to occur. She also says nothing about anyone trying to spread her legs (which would have been useless anyway with a one-piece bathing suit on.) (H) According to her story, she had at least one arm and hand free for some of the time, while Kavanaugh allegedly had his hand over her mouth. By the same token, Kavanaugh would only have had one hand free with which to remove her clothes during that time. (I) According to her letter to Sen. Feinstein, when they all toppled off the bed, the boys continued laughing and wrestling with each other, paying her no further attention. That letter, her subsequent WaPo interview and her later written statement to the polygraph examiner all say in substance that when the pile toppled off the bed, she was able to get up and run into a nearby bathroom unimpeded. The point is that according to her own story, none of the boys made any attempt to keep her in the room or get her back on the bed after the pile “toppled.” (J) She says nothing in any of her statements about Kavanaugh (or either other boy) trying to kiss her, put his hands under her clothes, or saying he wanted to have intercourse with her. (L) In all of her statements, she said that after she ran into the bathroom, the drunken boys involved all stumbled back down the stairs without making any attempt to get her out of the bathroom or to resume the assault. Inappropriate and inexcusable as any sexual assault - - even drunken teenage pawing - - may be, this alleged incident bears little or no resemblance to a serious rape attempt, even taking Ms. Ford's statements at face value. This is an important point in the context of a judicial confirmation hearing. A real attempted rape, even as a teenager, likely would be disqualifying. However, while people may (and hyper-partisan MeToo types undoubtedly will) disagree, it is debatable at best whether drunken teenage horseplay would or should be. What heterosexual teenage boy in America has not clumsily pawed at some girl at a party or on a date at some point? What person of either gender has not done something stupid and inappropriate under the influence of alcohol as a teenager? Shall we disqualify anyone who has ever engaged in such typical teenage behavior from ever holding public office, no matter how distinguished their later career or unimpeachable their adult life may have been?

What goes around, comes around.. you better watch out democRATS!

I love this guy. Those who are putting him through hell should be ashamed of themselves.

Alyssa Milano looks like Skeletor back there.

This is the end of the Republic. Zero evidence..... and yet a man’s life is almost destroyed. What happened to America? But at least Matt Damon was able to do a nonsensical sketch about it on SNL. And Alyssa Milano was there to give her disapproval. #smh

Hon. Brett M. Kavanaugh You are the strongest man in the world. You are the bravest man in the world. You are the man. Brett M. Kavanaugh, you saved the men of America even democratic men and women. This day you saved the world of freedom, independence and democracy. Today you're the man of men. Today you're the greatest judge America has. Today you are the man. You did it. You made it. You won.

God bless you sir! My heart hurts for you and your family.

Man, I feel so sry for him. He doesn’t deserve any of this!!!! It’s obviously he’s telling the truth.

I thought he was going to say “six separate fucking times.” Lol

It’s terrifying being a man.... when a mere accusation can ruin your life!

democrat for life just go red after this // god forgive us all

This is so painful to watch, to sit here at home and watch his life get laid bare and destroyed makes me feel ashamed....smh, we should all be ashamed.

Lol, the dems go back to when you where a kid for dirt , I was once a kid , we where alll once kids and do STUPID things and got smacked by our parents cause of them....as an adult, game on feet held to the fire... this man is clean ...
