Because the 11 old, white GOP men on the committee don't want to be vilified by the #MeToo movement and hated by women voters. It is why the GOP would like a women attorney to do the questioning while Ford's legal team is demanding that only the senators be permitted to do the questioning.
Only the lying-whackjob, baby-killing, drunken slut, women-voters. (typical Hitlary she-RATs) It doesn't matter, because Republicans are universally hated by that mob of murdering filth.
Looks like Linda is attempting to display some leadership to his caucus, and Trump seems to have no fear of the baby-killer femiNazis.
