Face the Nation, CBS
North Carolina Republican Sen. Thom Tillis says he’s “shocked” that the allegations of sexual misconduct against Judge Brett Kavanaugh did not come up in his days-long Supreme Court confirmation hearings.
On “Face the Nation” Sunday, Tillis, who is on the Senate Judiciary Committee, said he had not seen a letter sent by an unnamed female accuser to her congresswoman, Rep. Anna Eshoo. On Thursday, Sen. Dianne Feinstein, the top Democrat on the committee, confirmed the existence of the letter.
“I believe that the member that first received that letter was as late as July, and quite honestly, I’m shocked that the matter didn’t come up in the nearly 32 hours of testimony that Judge Kavanaugh was before us, in the open sessions or the nearly hour, hour and a half session that we had in a closed session,” Tillis said Sunday. “That information never came up.”
Tillis said that that committee intends to look into the matter upon returning to Washington this week, but “it really raises a question in my mind about, if this was material to the confirmation process, why on Earth, over the past four to six weeks, hasn’t it been discussed among the committee members?”
Tillis also questioned the timing of the letter’s existence becoming public, and why the letter’s author would not come forward in a confidential setting.
Tillis is as big a nothing-burger as Burr. They both bring new meaning to the words "weak" and "useless".
More contrived BS designed to hold off the Senate hearings/confirmation until after the elections when the dems will supposedly rule the world instead of being the garbage men of the world.
