The reviews are coming in for Christine Blasey Ford’s Senate testimony on President Donald Trump’s favorite network, Fox News — and they aren’t good for the Republican Party.
Fox News panelists discussing Ford’s testimony during a break in the Senate hearing called her credible, and one — anchor Chris Wallace — said her recounting of an alleged sexual assault by Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh was “a disaster” for the GOP. Kavanaugh denies the allegations.
“I think Dr. Ford is exceptionally credible,” Fox News judicial analyst Andrew Napolitano said. The sex-crimes prosecutor Judiciary Committee Republicans hired to question Ford, Rachel Mitchell, has been hampered by the format of the hearing, he said, which requires Mitchell to ask questions in five-minute blocks and alternate with Democratic senators.
Anchor Bret Baier added that hearing from Ford directly “is a totally different thing” than merely reading her prepared testimony.
