Sen. Dick Durbin

Sen.Dick Durbin
Sept. 22, 2018
Tweet - "Dr. Blasey Ford has made the extremely brave decision to testify before the Senate this coming week. Now Senate Republicans must ensure this is a fair hearing with testimony from other witnesses -- especially Mark Judge -- and questions asked by Senators."
Sen.Dick Durbin
Sept. 21, 2018
Tweet - "Senate Republicans have tried to rig the process against Dr. Blasey Ford -- no neutral investigation, no other witnesses - and now they seem happy that she won't commit to a partisan ambush. They think this makes it easier for them to vote for Judge Kavanaugh. That's insulting."

Sen.Dick Durbin, ...
Sept. 20, 2018
Tweet - "At a time when Dr. Blasey Ford is experiencing death threats and vicious attacks, Republicans are trying to rush a rigged hearing, refusing to call all of the relevant witnesses, and denying her request to hold off on a hearing until the FBI conducts an independent investigation."
Sen.Dick Durbin
Sept. 19, 2018
Tweet - "Refusing a nonpartisan FBI investigation of Dr. Blasey Ford's allegations reflects poorly on the White House and Senate Republicans' confidence in Judge Brett Kavanaugh's denial. What are they afraid of?"
Sen.Dick Durbin
Sept. 19, 2018
Tweet - "Dr. Blasey Ford is calling for an impartial FBI investigation of her serious and credible allegations. Meanwhile Republicans are trying to bully her into a rigged hearing before a neutral investigation and without the only identified eyewitness. #WhatAreTheyHiding"
Sen.Dick Durbin
Sept. 19, 2018
Tweet - "Republicans aren't serious about giving Dr. Blasey Ford a fair hearing with all the facts and witnesses available. Rushing this hearing along, and having her appear at the Committee before the FBI can investigate her allegations, would be a big mistake."
Sen.Dick Durbin
Sept. 18, 2018
Tweet - "Since Judge Kavanaugh's selection, Republicans have been trying to rush his nomination and hide large parts of his record. Even with serious and credible allegations of sexual assault against Kavanaugh, their approach hasn't changed. What's the rush and #WhatAreTheyHiding?"
Sen.Dick Durbin
Sept. 18, 2018
Tweet - "Dr. Blasey Ford has demonstrated extraordinary bravery coming forward and facing an intense spotlight. Her allegations are credible and serious and should be treated as such. The FBI must conduct an independent investigation before a hearing is held."
