Author Stephen King weighed in this week on testimony on Capitol Hill from Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh and Christine Blasey Ford, the college professor who has accused Kavanaugh of sexual assault.
“Her testimony is terrifying and heartrending. She says they laughed while It was happening,” King said in a tweet on Thursday after Ford spoke about being sexually assaulted at a party when she was 15 years old.

Graham appeared on ABC News‘ “This Week” to discuss Thursday’s Senate Judiciary Committee hearings, and doubled down on harsh comments he made during his opportunity to question Kavanaugh, accusing Democrats of malfeasance, and implying that Dr. Ford was railroaded by operatives.

“The FBI will do a supplemental background investigation, then I’m going to call for an investigation of what happened in this committee. Who betrayed Dr. Ford’s trust?” he continued. “Who in Feinstein’s office recommended Katz as a lawyer? Why did Ms. Ford not know that the committee was willing to go to California?” – READ MORE
