Sen. Dick Durbin
Oct. 3, 2018
Tweet - "Calling what President Trump did at a political rally last night "stating the facts" is outrageous. He openly mocked a sexual assault survivor in an attempt to rally his base and intimidate Dr. Ford. Senate Republicans must stand up to this bullying."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Oct. 3, 2018
Tweet - "President Trump belittled and ridiculed Dr. Blasey Ford at a political rally last night. He is sending a clear message to sexual assault survivors: if you have the courage to come forward, I will mock you and attack your credibility. Will Senate Republicans condemn this outrage?"
