Sept. 18, 2018 Tweet - "I ran for the Senate after watching the awful way Anita Hill was treated by an all-male Judiciary Committee during now-Justice Thomas' confirmation hearing in 1991. I'm urging my Republican colleagues to not repeat the same mistakes in 2018." Sen. Patty Murray
Sept. 18, 2018 Tweet - "I'm glad that Chairman Grassley has started to listen to members telling him he can't simply sweep allegations against Judge Kavanaugh under the rug. It's not just going to go away, and I am glad Republican leaders are starting to realize that." Sen. Patty Murray
Sept. 18, 2018 Tweet - "This week's Judiciary Committee vote on Judge Kavanaugh should be delayed. This is not a difficult decision. The fact is that Senators have new information about a potential crime committed by a Supreme Court nominee and an accuser who has come forward." Sen. Patty Murray

Sept. 18, 2018 Tweet - "Republicans cynically asking why Dr. Blasey Ford didn't come forward earlier should look in the mirror. Their shameful attacks show exactly why it's hard for survivors to come forward. We should respect & listen to her, not try to bully her into silence." Sen. Dick Durbin
Sept. 18, 2018 Tweet - "An all-male Judiciary committee dropped the ball in 1991, and we cannot allow an all-male Republican side of the Judiciary Committee do the same in 2018." Sen. Patty Murray

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." Sen. Dick Durbin
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. 18, 2018 Tweet - "Women who come forward should be listened to, heard, and believed--and investigations and all appropriate actions should be taken once they have come forward to share their experiences." Sen. Patty Murray

Sept. 18, 2018 Tweet - "Since Judge Kavanaugh's selection, Republicans have been trying to rush his nomination and hide large parts of his record.
