The face of the GOP



Republicans sustain critical self-inflicted wound from emotionally painful Kavanaugh hearing
President Donald Trump's Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh's Senate grilling and the emotional testimony of his sexual assault accuser, Palo Alto University Professor Christine Blasey Ford, created a firestorm of bad optics for the entire Republican party.

But despite hours emotionally jarring testimony on both sides and no conclusions reached, the Senate is set to vote on Kavanaugh's confirmation on Friday morning.

By refusing to explore every avenue of investigation into the sexual assault claims against Kavanaugh, Republicans look as though they're trying to push through a nominee credibly accused of sex crimes.

If the Senate confirms Kavanaugh and a later investigation finds credible evidence of wrongdoing, it will create a second disaster MIDTERMS? for the Supreme court and the entire Republican party.
