doug: rebuttal opportunity. mr. johnson, you go first. mr. rich: it was frustrating -- doug: i am sorry, i thought you were done. mr. rich: i was frustrated to see the personal attacks on judge kavanaugh and his family. that is what is wrong with washington right now. we need senators that are going to come together in dialogue from one side to the other. my democratic opponent, he was against judge kavanaugh as soon as his name was chosen, before he even had an opportunity to sit down and talk to him, or even review his record. that is putting politics before our state and our country. i am running to be new mexico's u.s. senator, and i care about our state and our country, and i would look at all the evidence before me before i am willing to make that decision. thank you. doug: rebuttal opportunity now, mr. johnson. you have 30 seconds. gov. johnson: when i was governor of new mexico, i've reversed myself on the death penalty, recognizing there are mistakes made when it comes to the death penalty, that we actually put innocent people to deat
