GOP senator says she’s deeply troubled by Kavanaugh allegations
Republican Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski revealed that she’s deeply troubled by attempted rape allegations against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh — and played a key role in ensuring that accuser Christine Blasey Ford will be able to testify against him.
“We are now in a place where it’s not about whether or not Judge Kavanaugh is qualified,” Murkowski told the New York Times in an interview published online Tuesday.
“It is about whether or not a woman who has been a victim at some point in her life is to be believed.”
Murkowski — a potential swing vote on Kavanaugh’s nomination — also said she worked behind the scenes last weekend to keep negotiations over Ford’s planned appearance before the Senate Judiciary Committee from breaking down over an “arbitrary timeline.”
