Oct. 5, 2018
Senator Rand Paul Supports Judge Brett Kavanaugh
Sen. Rand Paul
Oct. 4, 2018
Executive Session
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Oct. 4, 2018
Tweet - "I was proud to file cloture on Judge Kavanaugh's nomination yesterday evening. And I will be proud to vote to advance his nomination tomorrow."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Oct. 4, 2018
Tweet - "When the noise fades, what's left is a distinguished nominee with a unanimously well qualified rating from the American Bar Association (the Democrats' gold standard). A man whom peers and colleagues praise in the strongest terms. That's Judge Kavanaugh."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Oct. 4, 2018
Tweet - "The FBI has completed yet another background investigation on Judge Kavanaugh and delivered its results to the Senate. The fact is that these allegations have not been corroborated. Not in the new FBI investigation, not anywhere."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Oct. 3, 2018
Tweet - "This body and this nation have spent months watching my friends across the aisle grasp at every imaginable excuse to delay this process and damage this nominee. If they had their way, the goalposts on Judge Kavanaugh's nomination would be in another time zone by now."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Oct. 3, 2018
Tweet - "I just filed cloture on Judge Kavanaugh's nomination to the Supreme Court. There will be plenty of time for Members to review and be briefed on this supplemental material before a Friday cloture vote."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Oct. 3, 2018
Tweet - "Does anyone really think that the same people who called Judge Kavanaugh "evil" long before they heard one word of testimony will be satisfied? It's time to put this embarrassing spectacle behind us, and vote on this impressive, stunningly qualified Supreme Court nominee."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Oct. 2, 2018
Tweet - "Democrats may be trying to move the goalposts every five minutes, but their goal has not moved an inch. They will not be satisfied unless they bring down Judge Kavanaugh's nomination."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Oct. 2, 2018
Tweet - "After the FBI shares what they've found, Senators will have the opportunity to vote. We'll have the opportunity to vote "no" on the politics of personal destruction. We'll have the opportunity to vote "yes" on this fine nominee."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Oct. 2, 2018
Sports Medicine Licensure Clarity Act of 2017
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Oct. 2, 2018
Tweet - "Democrats' mishandling of Dr. Ford's letter opened the floodgates for a deluge of uncorroborated, unbelievable mud from others. And the mudslide was cheered on, and capitalized on by the far left that has been so eager to stop this nomination. Just politics? I don't think so."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Oct. 1, 2018
Tweet - "The Democratic Leader and the ranking Democrat on the Committee both said recently that an FBI investigation can be completed in less than a week. Let me make a small prediction -- soon enough the goalposts will be on the move once again."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Oct. 1, 2018
Lawmakers Who Survived Sexual Assault Demand Halt to Kavanaugh Hearings

Sen. Mitch McConnell
Oct. 1, 2018

Sept. 28, 2018
Tweet - "Brett Kavanaugh is one of the most qualified and most impressive Supreme Court nominees in memory. This is a nomination that deserves to move forward -- and that is precisely what is happening."

McConnell: I Will Proudly Vote to Confirm Judge Kavanaugh
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Sept. 26, 2018
Executive Session
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Sept. 26, 2018
Tweet - "Democratic colleagues did not treat Dr. Ford or her allegation with the seriousness and discretion she deserved. At the 11th hour, when its introduction was certain to introduce further delay, they got it to the press. So much for Dr. Ford's request for confidentiality, I guess."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Sept. 25, 2018
Tweet - "Senate Democrats ignored Dr. Ford's request for discretion and confidentiality and cheered on a public smear campaign based on uncorroborated allegations. I'm grateful to @ChuckGrassley for handling this with seriousness and responsibility and scheduling Thursday's hearing."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Sept. 25, 2018
Executive Session
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Sept. 25, 2018
Tweet - "One side is handling these sensitive matters with dignity, with professionalism by the book. And we have another side that chose to sit on allegations and keep them secret until they were leaked to the press."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Sept. 25, 2018
Tweet - "The American people know sexual misconduct is serious. They expect this matter to be treated seriously. That's what @ChuckGrassley has done and is doing. He has acted transparently in the pursuit of truth, and he has treated this matter with kindness and respect. @senjudiciary"
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Sept. 24, 2018
Tweet - "Here are the facts before us: This is an allegation of misconduct which all four supposed witnesses either flatly contradict or are unable to back up. It's not just one alleged witness disagreeing with the allegations -- it's literally every person who was supposedly there."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Sept. 24, 2018
Tweet - "Democrats and their allies are trying to destroy a man's personal and professional life on the basis of unsubstantiated and uncorroborated allegations. This is a smear campaign, pure and simple aided and abetted by members of the United States Senate."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Sept. 24, 2018

Nomination of Brett Kavanaugh
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Sept. 18, 2018
Tweet - "Next week Dr. Ford and Judge Kavanaugh will testify to the Senate Judiciary Committee under oath. But we should not have gotten to this point. That this process has played out with so little order and so little sensitivity lies solely at the feet of Senate Democrats."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Sept. 17, 2018
Tweet - "Senate Dems had ample opportunity to raise this allegation through regular order, including in closed session. They chose instead to leak it to the press. Moving forward, I am confident in Chairman @ChuckGrassley's ability to proceed through this process."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Sept. 17, 2018

Sen. Mitch McConnell
Sept. 12, 2018

Tweet - "Judge Kavanaugh demonstrated the intellectual brilliance and thoughtful temperament for which he is so widely known. He showed exactly why he is universally acknowledged as a leading legal mind, and exactly why he will make a phenomenal Associate Justice of the Supreme Court."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Sept. 12, 2018
Nomination of Brett Kavanaugh

Sept. 7, 2018

Sen. Mitch McConnell
Sept. 7, 2018
Tweet - "I want to thank Chairman @ChuckGrassley for leading @senjudiciary through a thorough, transparent examination of Judge Kavanaugh's qualifications. The Senate is fortunate to have a fair, gracious, and dedicated public servant at the helm of this important process."

Aug. 28, 2018
Tweet - "The Senate's having a productive summer. We've passed appropriations that cover 87% of next year's discretionary spending. We've authorized resources for our armed forces in a bill named for Sen. McCain. And this month, we've confirmed eight more of @POTUS's judicial nominees"
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Aug. 23, 2018
Tweet - "The Senate has received more documents for Judge Kavanaugh's nomination than for any #SCOTUS nomination in history."
