Biden slams GOP’s "blind rage and brute partisanship" during Kavanaugh hearing

“What we witnessed yesterday from the Republican Judiciary Committee members was a degree of invective, blind rage and brute partisanship that threatens not only the Senate and the Supreme Court — it threatens the basic faith in fairness and justice that binds this country together,” the statement read.

Then, after calling Christine Blasey Ford‘s testimony “courageous,” and noting he was glad the members of the Senate have called for an FBI probe, Biden concluded: “Doctor Blasey Ford deserves an FBI investigation today. The millions of women who have suffered sexual assault and abuse deserve an FBI investigation. The country deserves one. And for its reputation and legitimacy, the Supreme Court needs one too.”
