What matters to them is optics - not doing their job or being sensistive. They don't care about Dr Ford. They think that 11 men questioning her about sexual assault will look cringeworthy (btw, there has NEVER been a woman on the judiciary cmte in the history of the US).

They're shoving this judge so fast that the backlash in November may be epic.

Instead of being forced to bring in a female to question Prof. Christine Ford, Republicans should try putting women on the very powerful Senate Judiciary Committee, INSTEAD OF THE ALL-BOYS CLUB IT HAS NOW ...the Dems have 4 female members.

They're hiding his guilt because this is the last chance to stack the court. His past doesn't matter if he'll deliver the swing votes to the right. I only ask if these men would feel the same if it were their daughter who made a claim of sexual assault?

Amazing that Repubs may bring in an outside female litigator to question Prof. Ford on her sexual assault allegations against Kavanaugh. THEY WANT OUTSIDE HELP? Repubs’ whole argument against an FBI investigation is that they can handle it themselves!

The optics already look terrible. They have to HIRE a woman because their party is so....male.

What was the term weasel
@LindseyGrahamSC used, “elections have consequences.” Well, GOP members need to “man-up” as the majority & ask their own questions and not hide behind the skirt of an outside counsel!!Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

How can the GOP claim they're doing it to make Dr. Ford more comfortable when she specifically requested the opposite. Please ask them!

No OUTSIDE investigation, but an OUTSIDE lawyer representing the GOP is ok? Also, can you ask Hatch, why he’s on the record supporting and calling for FBI Investigation for Anita Hill, but saying exact opposite now?

I presume some percentage of them realize bringing in a mercenary to do their dirty work against Dr. Ford would rightly provoke a massive backlash.

Personally, I don't believe there should be outside counsel. The senators should be held accountable for their questions & their own demeanor toward Dr. Ford in contrast to Kavanaugh. If they want to use other counsel, why aren't they using McGhan?
-
I agree about not using outside counsel, but McGhan is WH counsel. He should have nothing to do with a Senate hearing The GOP have attorneys on the SJC...let one of them question Dr. Ford. The Dems can do the same. The only other fair option would be to let the FBI investigate
-
I didn't realize that about McGhan. In that case, I default back to my original belief that the senators should do the questioning. They are trying to avoid looking bad or screwing up by hiring outside counsel. Totally agree about investigation.

Tell
@GOP sources that this is a bad look. The women of America see their hardball tactics as bullying & we aren't having it. They will feel the wrath eventually. For sure at the polls this November.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
