This morning, the President said it is up to Dr. Blasey Ford to convince him she is telling the truth. That is preposterous. Her story is credible: it is rich in remembered detail, corresponds to facts that are known, and was told to others years before. 
.@realDonaldTrump and @SenateGOP should follow protocol and order the @FBI to complete its background investigation as to this claim. This process has been off the rails for a long time now, but the last 24 hours signal a new low. medium.com/senator-sheldo…
Dr. Ford is incredibly brave & very credible. Her story is rich in remembered detail, corresponds to facts that are known, and was told to others years before.
She has put her own physical safety in jeopardy, coming forward with credible allegations of sexual assault against a powerful man backed by powerful forces; death threats have forced her into hiding.
More than anything, victims deserve a sincere and thorough investigation that digs out corroborating evidence, not being forced to stand alone with no investigation of their claims. Epic #Republican fail on that.
As AG, I oversaw our domestic violence unit and I’ve worked with victims for years; the #Republican stampede violates every principle we have learned about respecting victims. They should be ashamed.
Survivors deserve to be heard and respected, not attacked and smeared. #Republicans’ reflexive, dismissive response makes victims like Dr. Ford understandably reluctant to come forward.
If #Kavanaugh won’t insist the @FBI complete his background investigation as to this new allegation, he is unfit to serve as a federal judge. It is not a small matter for a federal judge to participate in a kangaroo hearing.
