Republicans Engineered a “She Said, He Said” Hearing, and It Turned Out Just How They Wanted

Senate Republicans didn’t want to talk early in the afternoon on Thursday, when they were on a break from Christine Blasey Ford’s riveting testimony. Majority Whip John Cornyn tersely told reporters to get out of his way as he walked through the Senate platform. Louisiana Sen. John Kennedy, who is known to offer reporters home-spun quips for an hour if they can tolerate it, wouldn’t comment. The best any Republican members of the Judiciary committee could do was some version of, “I’m continuing to watch the testimony.”
