Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh delivers his opening statement to the Senate Judiciary Committee, in which he denies that he sexually assaulted Professor Christine Blasey Ford at a high school party in the summer of 1982 when the two were teenagers. He also calls the confirmation process a "national disgrace," and he condemns the behavior and comments of Senate Democrats and opponents on the left since Professor Blasey Ford made the allegations. He says the delay in scheduling the hearing has resulted in his name and reputation being destroyed in an effort to term him down, accusing senators of replacing "advise and consent" with search and destroy." close
