Sen. Collins Criticizes Democrats' Handling of Christine Blasey Ford's Accusations Against Kavanaugh
Townhall ^ | September 17, 2018 | Lauretta Brown

“What is puzzling to me is the Democrats, by not bringing this out earlier, after having had this information for more than six weeks, have managed to cast a cloud of doubt on both the professor and the judge,” Sen. Collins commented.

“If they believed Professor Ford, why didn’t they surface this information earlier so that he could be questioned about it?” she wondered. “And if they didn’t believe her and chose to withhold the information, why did they decide at the 11th hour to release it? It is really not fair to either of them the way it is was handled.”

Sen. Collins told CNN Sunday that she discussed the allegations with Kavanaugh last Friday and he denied them. She said she would discuss the committee proceeding to vote on Kavanaugh’s nomination with her colleagues.

She said she didn’t “know enough to make a judgment at this point," on the veracity of the accusations.

What’s puzzling to Collins is that if the Dems BELIEVED the woman, they should have brought out the charges earlier. She is signaling that the Dems behavior suggests that they DON’T believe the accuser. Collins is criticizing the Dems for behavior that trashes the woman who accused Kavanaugh. I think that’s a good line of attack for Collins and effective. She says the Dems dissed their own witness. So how credible can she be?
