and excited about what they have achieved even if they lost this battle of the nomination of bread covena they have achieved to rally and energize the crowds and their base all over the country they seem to believe and that means that both parties right now think that this nasty nasty political fight and battle about the good nomination and confirmation of brett kavanaugh has energized their. their crowds and they're likely voters and therefore everybody's excited for november six. this episode which centered around christine blazin ford's allegation that she was a victim of an attempted rape by brett kavanaugh over thirty years or sexual assault matters and women's rights really into the spotlight in the national debate where where does this leave things in washington and in the capacity of people just to sort of talk to each other in a civil manner well everybody acknowledges here not only in washington but in the entire united states but of course in the kind of a pressure cooker situation in washington that the me too that we're living in a me to air here and women are critical critic

doesn't look like it'll stop any time soon we spoke to the media legal analyst lionel who things covena isn't the real target is. all based upon anti trump if this were this is not just this didn't happen would judge his predecessor but for some reason this one hit a nerve and what it always goes back to is if they can stop the president if they can interrupt the president's plan if it can embarrass the president and if you do anything to affect the midterms coming out the midterm elections and in november it's all part of the benefit here throwing everything they can into the works to stop the process they are guilty of and i think this cloud about q.'s ations is its own purpose in the normal rational people would say well why would they be saving things unless they had some purpose in mind the purpose is to poison any possible rapprochement between washington especially and russia as donald trump said he wanted to do during the campaign and make sure that cannot happen and that relations continue to go from bad to worse we may not know the whole truth or which saw it is hiding somethi

so how is covena like to impact on the midterms has it side up progressives and democrats. absolutely i think it's fired up everybody look i'll give donald trump credit he two years ago this weekend the access hollywood takes came out where he bragged about grabbing women by the private parts a year ago the me two movement started and shortly after that we wrote the first me to politics letter here in california and started trying to attempt a little reforms as well so so on this anniversary this is actually the anniversary also sudden sort of my your ascending to the court under president obama it's a real single you know elections have consequences so donald trump had a very good week because he bent the republican party to his will he got a reproductive freedom supporting republican female senator to vote with him instead of with her stated litmus test so i think he's had a very good week i think the movement has had a very good week because we have been determined to break the silence to keep talking and to go out there in force and elect people who are going to respect

had failed to find evidence supporting sexual misconduct allegations against covena and although the documents have not been released they're already firing up republican enthusiasm for the midterms where com reports. it just might be the first time that the ruling party retains congress after midterms and the midterms are just about a month away in november and a new poll shows that eighty percent of americans from both parties see it as very important now in july the poll showed a ten percent gap between republicans and democrats but they democrats unanimously took continuous efforts to destroy trump's supreme court nominee brett kavanaugh who was accused of sexual assault but this strategy doesn't seem to be working for them trump hammered democrats for this at his rally in west virginia you see what's going on you see this horrible horrible radical group of democrats you see it happening right now they don't get hurt. in order to get power some have noted that all conservatives not just republicans are taking kavanagh's side saying that this liberal scandal has united the right a

been speaking to charles moran who's a republican strategist and he says the the discussion on covena as. a nation has reminded americans that the u.s. political system considers people in the sent until proven guilty. i think after listening to senator collins a speech today lisa murkowski is probably giving her decision another thought i really think that senator collins the speech really just walked through the solid evidence why you could vote for brett kavanaugh and not have any kind of real problems as a republican a conservative or even somebody who supports the me too movement who supports women's rights and what's going on with the larger conversation about sexual assault at the end of the day senator collins made the argument that you know in this country you're innocent until proven guilty in the political considerations here really can't distract from the fact that that's the standard of justice that we have in america and that's why she's voting yes police in france are investigating the disappearance of the president of interpol the international policing agency way hasn
