Meanwhile, a handful of key Republicans have blasted President Trump for mocking Dr. Blasey Ford. This is Trump speaking at a campaign rally in Mississippi on Tuesday.

President Donald Trump: “Thirty-six years ago, this happened. I had one beer, right? I had one beer. Well, do you think it was—no, it was one beer. Oh, good. How did you get home? I don’t remember. How’d you get there? I don’t remember. Where is the place? I don’t remember. How many years ago was it? I don’t know. I don’t know. I don’t know! I don’t know!”

Alaska Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski called Trump’s comments “wholly inappropriate and in my view unacceptable.” This is Maine Republican Senator Susan Collins.

Sen. Susan Collins: “The president’s comments were just plain wrong.”

Arizona Republican Senator Jeff Flake called Trump’s mockery “appalling.” At the White House, Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders defended Trump’s comments.

Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders: “The president was stating the facts, and, frankly, facts that were included in special prosecutor Rachel Mitchell’s report. He was stating facts that were given during Dr. Ford’s testimony. And the Senate has to make a decision based on those facts.”
