Summary
Monday was supposed to be the day that we saw Judge Kavanaugh and Dr Ford, the woman who accused him of sexual assault, testify before Congress. We found out that Republicans never even asked Dr. Ford if that worked for her. Not only that, they planned on putting her at the same table as Brett Kavanaugh. A barbaric display by old white men who still don't understand how serious this is.
We talk to Andrew Restuccia from Politico, Julie Millican from Media Matters and Matt Ford from The New Republic.
