Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California, the senior Democrat on the Judiciary Committee who was criticized for holding Ford’s accusation in confidence for weeks, at Ford’s request, said on Friday that she was stunned that Kavanaugh had joined in the Republicans’ political attack.
“Candidly, in my 25 years on this committee, I have never seen a nominee for any position behave in that manner,” she said.
He “yelled at Democrats,” she said, and his suggestion that Ford’s allegation had something to do with Democrats avenging the Clintons was “unbelievable.”
“This was not someone who reflected an impartial temperament or the fairness and even-handedness one would see in a judge. This was someone who was angry and belligerent,” Feinstein said. “In stark contrast,” she added, it was Ford who “demonstrated a balanced temperament.”
