Today’s hearings were exhausting…
And good enough to convince one notorious holdout:
I plan to vote to confirm Judge Brett Kavanaugh. My full statement: pic.twitter.com/LDj4epYyhc

THANK. GOD.
I honestly question how anyone could have watched the entire ordeal and not feel this exact same way.
According to Daily Wire:
Following the intensely emotional testimonies from Dr. Christine Blasey Ford and Judge Brett Kavanaugh over 35-year-old allegations of sexual assault before the Senate Judiciary Committee today, Sen. Bob Corker (R-TN) announced that he plans to vote “Yes” on President Trump’s nominee to United States Supreme Court should it come to the Senate floor.
In a respectful statement, Corker, long considered a swing vote on Kavanaugh, said that after taking Dr. Ford’s allegations seriously and weighing them against the facts, he has ultimately concluded that Kavanaugh deserves “the presumption of innocence.”
WHY has this disappeared? Every Democrat in that room treated Bret Kavanaugh like a convicted rapist.
It was a disgrace.
“I know it took courage for Dr. Ford to appear before the committee today. I also strongly believe that Judge Kavanaugh, like all Americans, deserves the presumption of innocence and that it was equally important for him to have the opportunity to address the charges and defend himself.”
All that said, Corker stands with Kavanaugh:
“I believe Kavanaugh has conducted himself as well as anyone could expect throughout this process and plan to vote to confirm him,” Corker’s statement concludes.
Hell yes.
So now we’re waiting on Murkowski, Collins, and Flake…
Only time will tell.
