His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

"content": "\u003cp>Dr. Lynn Ponton, a psychiatrist in San Francisco and a professor of psychiatry at UCSF, said she wasn't surprised when she started getting phone calls from clients on Thursday during the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11694933/watch-live-kavanaugh-ford-testify-about-sexual-assault-allegation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Blasey-Kavanaugh hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee\u003c/a>. And she says other Bay Area psychiatrists she's been talking with are also seeing their phones light up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Many of my patients have experienced very significant trauma in their own lives,\" Ponton said. \"And just watching this and having it so intensified by the media, they are being re-triggered. So they are calling me. They are having more symptoms. Some are turning to substances. Some are talking to their friends.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ponton has advice for people who are feeling upset and emotional after watching and listening to Christine Blasey Ford describe allegedly being sexually assaulted by U.S. Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh, and the subsequent questioning of both Ford and Kavanaugh.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here's Ponton's guide for her clients and anyone experiencing stress from this:\u003c/p>\n\u003col>\n\u003cli>Monitor your own viewing, listening and cellphone use. The vocal triggers can be especially strong with this type of hearing. So stay alert to that and protect yourself. You will know you are having symptoms if your heart rate goes up, your anxiety level increases, your thinking seems unclear. Those are all clues you are having trouble with it.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Reach out to others for support. Even with a text. You might establish a group text to support one another while following the coverage. That's what Ponton did with members of her family. It's important to know others are out there you can connect with.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Keep up your regular activities. Rather than stay up all night thinking you have to keep up with the coverage and staying on top of it all the way, know it's more important to get sleep and make sure to eat and exercise regularly.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Keep a journal of your thoughts and feelings through these days so you can go back to them at a later point.

And she says other Bay Area psychiatrists she's been talking with are also seeing their phones light up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Many of my patients have experienced very significant trauma in their own lives,\" Ponton said. \"And just watching this and having it so intensified by the media, they are being re-triggered. So they are calling me. They are having more symptoms. Some are turning to substances. Some are talking to their friends.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ponton has advice for people who are feeling upset and emotional after watching and listening to Christine Blasey Ford describe allegedly being sexually assaulted by U.S. Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh, and the subsequent questioning of both Ford and Kavanaugh.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here's Ponton's guide for her clients and anyone experiencing stress from this:\u003c/p>\n\u003col>\n\u003cli>Monitor your own viewing, listening and cellphone use. The vocal triggers can be especially strong with this type of hearing. So stay alert to that and protect yourself. You will know you are having symptoms if your heart rate goes up, your anxiety level increases, your thinking seems unclear. Those are all clues you are having trouble with it.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Reach out to others for support. Even with a text. You might establish a group text to support one another while following the coverage. That's what Ponton did with members of her family. It's important to know others are out there you can connect with.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Keep up your regular activities. Rather than stay up all night thinking you have to keep up with the coverage and staying on top of it all the way, know it's more important to get sleep and make sure to eat and exercise regularly.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Keep a journal of your thoughts and feelings through these days so you can go back to them at a later point. It's a way to put them aside, and frame them so you can maybe tackle them when you have more energy.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Use grounding techniques such as listening to soothing music or taking walks in nature, gardening, cooking or anything else you know can reduce your anxiety or ground you.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ol>\n\u003cp>Ponton says another group reacting to the hearings are those who are rethinking their own behavior and whether they behaved appropriately.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

You have replaced 'advice and consent' with 'search and destroy,' \" Kavanaugh said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the end of his nearly 45-minute opening statement — twice the length of Ford's — Kavanaugh was emphatic again in his denial: \"I swear today under oath, before the Senate and the nation, before my family and God — I am innocent of this charge.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The high-stakes hearing will help determine whether Trump's effort to remake the nation's highest court with the conservative jurist to replace \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/06/27/533997482/supreme-court-to-lose-its-swing-voter-justice-anthony-kennedy-to-retire\">retired Justice Anthony Kennedy\u003c/a> is successful. The testimony from both Ford and Kavanaugh — accuser and accused — comes after a year in which the rise and the cultural influence of the #MeToo movement has raised sensitivity to the accounts of sexual assault victims, a significant cultural shift since 1991 when Anita Hill testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee about her allegations of sexual harassment against Clarence Thomas during his confirmation process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Watch Kavanaugh's opening statement:\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=6&v=lL94tAsjYfk\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/09/26/651545283/watch-live-trump-holds-press-conference-at-u-n\">Speaking Wednesday during a press conference\u003c/a>, Trump said the allegations against Kavanaugh \"are all false to me.\" But the president indicated he would be watching Ford's testimony to determine whether she is believable, and even suggested he might withdraw the nomination based on what occurred Thursday. In the same remarks, the president also defended Kavanaugh and criticized the multiple allegations against the judge as a \"big, fat con job\" perpetrated by Democrats trying to stop the confirmation of a conservative judge to the Supreme Court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kavanaugh's initial indignant approach stood in stark contrast to Ford's testimony earlier in the hearing.

One point where he was especially emotional was in talking about the toll the accusations have taken on his family, particularly his two young daughters. He teared up as he said his 10-year-old daughter, when saying her bedtime prayers, said they should pray for Ford. \"We mean no ill will,\" \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YK_6j-Kc-3I\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kavanaugh said\u003c/a>, and he said he believed Ford may have been a victim of sexual assault at one point in her life — just not by him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ford said she didn't remember all of the specifics such as the date or place of the alleged attack, which has led some to question the veracity of her claims. But, with her voice cracking, she did recall certain vivid details, adding: \"Indelible in the hippocampus is the laughter, the uproarious laughter between the two and their having fun at my expense.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ford also said the details she does remember \"about that night that bring me here today are ones I will never forget. They have been seared into my memory and have haunted me episodically as an adult.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Watch Ford's opening statement:\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJORwf3izUU\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When she was 15 and Kavanaugh was 17, the two ended up at the same party. Ford said she had one beer, while Kavanaugh and his friend, Mark Judge, \"were visibly drunk.\" When she went upstairs to use the restroom, Kavanaugh and Judge pushed her into a bedroom and locked the door. Ford claimed Kavanaugh pushed her onto the bed and \"began running his hands over my body and grinding his hips into me.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I believed he was going to rape me. I tried to yell for help. When I did, Brett put his hand over my mouth to stop me from screaming. This was what terrified me the most, and has had the most lasting impact on my life. It was hard for me to breathe, and I thought that Brett was accidentally going to kill me,\" Ford said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kavanaugh admitted that he drank in high school — \"sometimes I had too many beers. I liked beer. I still like beer\" — but said he \"did not drink beer to the point of blacking out, and I never sexually assaulted anyone.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If every American who drinks beer or drank beer in high school is suddenly presumed guilty of sexual assault in high school, it will be an ugly place in this country,\" Kavanaugh said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://youtu.be/AOr808UXOgE\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He also presented calendars he kept during high school — a practice he compared to a diary that he modeled after his father's own habit — and said they showed he was often out of town during the summer in question when Ford alleges the assault occurred.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ford also insisted she had no political agenda in coming forward with her accusations, telling lawmakers, \"I am an independent person and I am no one's pawn.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The hearing got off to a tense start, exposing the deep partisan divides that have colored the accusations from Ford and other women. Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, first acknowledged that Kavanaugh, Ford and their families have \"received vile threats\" since the allegations became public.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What they have endured ought to be considered by all of us as unacceptable and a poor reflection on the state of civility in our democracy,\" Grassley said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But then he went on to chastise the committee's ranking member, Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., for a delay in giving the full committee the private letter setting forth the allegations against Kavanaugh that she received back in July from Ford, who is a constituent of Feinstein's in California. Ford had first requested that her allegations remain private, but as she later told the committee, when it became clear her name would be public, she then told her story to \u003cem>The Washington Post. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Grassley also pointed out that many of the witnesses Ford has identified deny that the party in question took place. He also defended hiring an outside attorney to assist with questioning during Thursday's hearing, saying he saw \"no basis for complaint [from Democrats] other than just plain politics.\" Rachel Mitchell \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/09/26/651735137/sex-crimes-prosecutor-picked-for-kavanaugh-hearing-brings-decades-of-experience\">is a sex crimes prosecutor\u003c/a> from Arizona who has pushed for best practices in investigations to protect and serve victims of assault.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Feinstein pushed back during her subsequent remarks, pointing out that most sexual assaults go unreported and that 1 in 3 women and 1 in 6 men will experience some form of sexual violence in their lives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She warned colleagues that \"the entire country is watching how we handle these allegations\" and she criticized a \"rush to judgment\" on the allegations and quick push for confirmation, calling it a \"real question of character for someone who is asking for a lifetime appointment on the Supreme Court.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is not a trial for Dr. Ford. This is a job interview for Brett Kavanaugh,\" Feinstein said, asking, \"Is he the best we can do?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://youtu.be/uIbxZ_96BZo\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The hearing pivoted somewhat awkwardly between Republican senators ceding their time to Mitchell, who questioned Ford about her past statements to the media and her specific memories about the circumstances of the alleged assault. Among her questions, the prosecutor tried to poke holes in Ford's fear of flying, which Ford said was triggered by PTSD following the alleged assault. And Mitchell pressed Ford about the polygraph she took to back up her claims — and which Ford revealed she took outside Baltimore just after she had attended her grandmother's funeral.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ford explained how the incident had affected her throughout her life — from struggling academically during her undergraduate years at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, to difficulty in forming relationships and friendships, and ultimately pressing for a second front door during a remodel of her California home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Near the end of her questioning, Mitchell reminded Ford that the other people she identified as being at the party have told the committee, under penalty of felony, that they did not remember the gathering or the incident in question.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I don't expect that P.J. and Leland would remember this evening,\" Ford responded. \"It was a very unremarkable party ... because nothing happened to them that evening.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democratic senators used their time to largely reiterate their support for Ford, bemoan how she was being treated and criticize that a further probe by the FBI — as Ford has requested — was not undertaken.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You have given America an amazing teaching moment,\" Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., told the college professor. \"You have inspired and you have enlightened America. You have inspired and given courage to women to come forward, as they have done to every one of our offices and many other public places.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., noted he was also in the Senate during hearings that have drawn obvious parallels to this one — Hill's testimony during the Thomas confirmation hearings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Leahy said the Senate \"failed\" Hill back in 1991, and \"I am concerned we are doing a lot less for these three women today.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Watch Sen. Leahy's questioning:\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://youtu.be/mhxpuj32ERg\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., a former district attorney and state attorney general, told Ford that, \"I believe you, and I believe many Americans across this country believe you.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When it was time to question Kavanaugh, Democrats pressed him about the contents of his high school calendars and yearbook quotations, which had references to drinking games and partying.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Senate Minority Whip Dick Durbin, D-Ill., grilled Kavanaugh on whether or not he would submit to an FBI investigation into the charges, as Democrats want. He said he would go along with whatever the committee wants — which the Republican majority does not think is necessary — but never said on record that he would call for an FBI investigation himself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Watch Sen. Durbin's questioning:\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://youtu.be/s6pVXCVPJzU\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., pressed Kavanaugh about his drinking habits, he tried to turn the question back on the lawmaker and ask about her drinking. After a recess, Kavanaugh apologized for how he handled that line of questioning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Grassley ceded his questioning time to Mitchell, who forcefully pressed Kavanaugh on his denials and his drinking habits, but then several others — unlike with their opportunity to question Ford — took their allotted time to condemn how Kavanaugh has been treated. It was a marked shift from Republicans' hesitancy to question Ford, cognizant of how a group of men pressing a woman on her claims of sexual assault might come across. (There are six GOP women in the Senate, but none sit on the Judiciary Committee.) Through the final stretch of the hearing, Mitchell was not given the opportunity to probe his testimony, as she was with Ford's.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham became the first GOP senator to use his time to address Kavanaugh, and he angrily lashed out at Democrats on the committee for stonewalling the nomination.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You've got nothing to apologize for,\" Graham told Kavanaugh. \"This is the most unethical sham since I've been in politics. And if you really wanted to know the truth, you sure as hell wouldn't have done what you've done to this guy.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Graham accused Democrats of simply trying to keep the vacant Supreme Court seat open until at least the midterm elections, when they hope they might gain control of the Senate, exclaiming, \"Boy, y'all want power. I hope you never get it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is not a job interview. This is hell,\" Graham said, riffing on an earlier comment by Feinstein. \"This is going to destroy the ability of good people to come forward because of this crap.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Senate Majority Whip John Cornyn also used his time after Graham to talk to Kavanaugh, comparing the allegations and questions that the Supreme Court nominee has had to face to the infamous 1954 McCarthy hearings that were purportedly aimed at rooting out communism in the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, said, \"this is worse than [failed Reagan Supreme Court nominee] Robert Bork and I didn't think it could get any worse than that. This is worse than Clarence Thomas, and I didn't think it could get any worse than that.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Retiring Arizona Sen. Jeff Flake — a frequent Trump critic who has shown sympathy toward Ford — is a critical swing vote on both the committee and in the full Senate. The Republican's comments toward Kavanaugh were brief and he gave no hint of how he might vote, simply saying that, \"In the end, there is likely to be as much doubt as certainty\" about whether Ford or Kavanaugh is telling the truth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Watch Sen. Flake's statements:\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://youtu.be/AheUQbKjiC4\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Judiciary Committee released a timeline late on Wednesday night that indicated it had interviewed two men who believed they, not Kavanaugh, were the ones in the episode described by Ford.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ford categorically denied that could have been possible, saying she was \"100 percent\" certain that it was Kavanaugh who allegedly assaulted her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The psychology professor sometimes explained clinically how what happened to her more than three decades ago was \"seared\" in her memory — especially the laughter as Kavanaugh and Judge allegedly held her onto the bed, trapped.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Indelible in the hippocampus is the laughter, the uproarious laughter between the two and their having fun at my expense.\" Ford said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thursday's hearing on Capitol Hill drew widespread, passionate interest. Both actress Alyssa Milano — who has been an advocate for sexual assault survivors after speaking up about her own assault — and New York Democratic Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand are in the hearing room as guests of Democrats on the Judiciary Committee in the Dirksen Senate Office Building.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There were protesters and demonstrators next door in the Hart Senate Office Building — mostly women with some men, the majority of whom are opposing Kavanaugh's nomination.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just after the hearings concluded, the full Senate GOP conference was set to meet, likely to decide whether the committee would go ahead with a vote on the nomination as early as Friday morning. Republican leaders are eager to move ahead on the nomination and get it to the Senate floor quickly. Democrats have continued calling for delays to the hearing and the committee vote until the FBI investigates the allegations against Kavanaugh.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>NPR's Scott Detrow and Art Silverman contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2018 NPR.

The testimony from both Ford and Kavanaugh — accuser and accused — comes after a year in which the rise and the cultural influence of the #MeToo movement has raised sensitivity to the accounts of sexual assault victims, a significant cultural shift since 1991 when Anita Hill testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee about her allegations of sexual harassment against Clarence Thomas during his confirmation process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Watch Kavanaugh's opening statement:\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/lL94tAsjYfk'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/lL94tAsjYfk'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/09/26/651545283/watch-live-trump-holds-press-conference-at-u-n\">Speaking Wednesday during a press conference\u003c/a>, Trump said the allegations against Kavanaugh \"are all false to me.\" But the president indicated he would be watching Ford's testimony to determine whether she is believable, and even suggested he might withdraw the nomination based on what occurred Thursday.

Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, first acknowledged that Kavanaugh, Ford and their families have \"received vile threats\" since the allegations became public.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What they have endured ought to be considered by all of us as unacceptable and a poor reflection on the state of civility in our democracy,\" Grassley said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But then he went on to chastise the committee's ranking member, Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., for a delay in giving the full committee the private letter setting forth the allegations against Kavanaugh that she received back in July from Ford, who is a constituent of Feinstein's in California. Ford had first requested that her allegations remain private, but as she later told the committee, when it became clear her name would be public, she then told her story to \u003cem>The Washington Post. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Grassley also pointed out that many of the witnesses Ford has identified deny that the party in question took place. He also defended hiring an outside attorney to assist with questioning during Thursday's hearing, saying he saw \"no basis for complaint [from Democrats] other than just plain politics.\" Rachel Mitchell \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/09/26/651735137/sex-crimes-prosecutor-picked-for-kavanaugh-hearing-brings-decades-of-experience\">is a sex crimes prosecutor\u003c/a> from Arizona who has pushed for best practices in investigations to protect and serve victims of assault.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Feinstein pushed back during her subsequent remarks, pointing out that most sexual assaults go unreported and that 1 in 3 women and 1 in 6 men will experience some form of sexual violence in their lives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She warned colleagues that \"the entire country is watching how we handle these allegations\" and she criticized a \"rush to judgment\" on the allegations and quick push for confirmation, calling it a \"real question of character for someone who is asking for a lifetime appointment on the Supreme Court.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is not a trial for Dr. Ford.

Among her questions, the prosecutor tried to poke holes in Ford's fear of flying, which Ford said was triggered by PTSD following the alleged assault. And Mitchell pressed Ford about the polygraph she took to back up her claims — and which Ford revealed she took outside Baltimore just after she had attended her grandmother's funeral.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ford explained how the incident had affected her throughout her life — from struggling academically during her undergraduate years at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, to difficulty in forming relationships and friendships, and ultimately pressing for a second front door during a remodel of her California home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Near the end of her questioning, Mitchell reminded Ford that the other people she identified as being at the party have told the committee, under penalty of felony, that they did not remember the gathering or the incident in question.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I don't expect that P.J. and Leland would remember this evening,\" Ford responded. \"It was a very unremarkable party ... because nothing happened to them that evening.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democratic senators used their time to largely reiterate their support for Ford, bemoan how she was being treated and criticize that a further probe by the FBI — as Ford has requested — was not undertaken.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You have given America an amazing teaching moment,\" Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., told the college professor. \"You have inspired and you have enlightened America. You have inspired and given courage to women to come forward, as they have done to every one of our offices and many other public places.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., noted he was also in the Senate during hearings that have drawn obvious parallels to this one — Hill's testimony during the Thomas confirmation hearings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Leahy said the Senate \"failed\" Hill back in 1991, and \"I am concerned we are doing a lot less for these three women today.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Watch Sen.

After a recess, Kavanaugh apologized for how he handled that line of questioning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Grassley ceded his questioning time to Mitchell, who forcefully pressed Kavanaugh on his denials and his drinking habits, but then several others — unlike with their opportunity to question Ford — took their allotted time to condemn how Kavanaugh has been treated. It was a marked shift from Republicans' hesitancy to question Ford, cognizant of how a group of men pressing a woman on her claims of sexual assault might come across. (There are six GOP women in the Senate, but none sit on the Judiciary Committee.) Through the final stretch of the hearing, Mitchell was not given the opportunity to probe his testimony, as she was with Ford's.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham became the first GOP senator to use his time to address Kavanaugh, and he angrily lashed out at Democrats on the committee for stonewalling the nomination.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You've got nothing to apologize for,\" Graham told Kavanaugh. \"This is the most unethical sham since I've been in politics. And if you really wanted to know the truth, you sure as hell wouldn't have done what you've done to this guy.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Graham accused Democrats of simply trying to keep the vacant Supreme Court seat open until at least the midterm elections, when they hope they might gain control of the Senate, exclaiming, \"Boy, y'all want power. I hope you never get it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is not a job interview. This is hell,\" Graham said, riffing on an earlier comment by Feinstein. \"This is going to destroy the ability of good people to come forward because of this crap.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Senate Majority Whip John Cornyn also used his time after Graham to talk to Kavanaugh, comparing the allegations and questions that the Supreme Court nominee has had to face to the infamous 1954 McCarthy hearings that were purportedly aimed at rooting out communism in the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, said, \"this is worse than [failed Reagan Supreme Court nominee] Robert Bork and I didn't think it could get any worse than that.

That’s exactly what Christine Ford has gone through, Kniss says.

It’ll stay with me — I presume — forever.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for other victims of sexual assault, whether they’ve come forward or not, Kniss emphasizes how fear and panic in the moment of an attack can blur the details — but the core memory remains the same.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They know what happened,” she says. “They can point to a time and place that are pretty close, but they don’t remember all the details because they’re in that panicked situation where you are in fight or flight, and you are somehow going to get out of there.”\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Kavanaugh strongly denies the allegations and has said he is eager to speak to the committee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The two sides finalized the date and time of the hearing over email. Ford's attorneys say they are still negotiating \"a number of important procedural and logistical issues.\" The lengthy talks were hampered by a disagreement over who will question Ford at the hearing, according to an email exchange obtained by NPR.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republican committee staff told Ford's attorneys that they would be unwilling to accept what they characterized as a \"demand\" that only senators be permitted to ask questions of the witnesses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
