John Yarmuth calls into question the credibility of the candidate

While McConnell left quickly after the announcement without taking any questions, Yarmuth lingered to voice his concerns regarding the allegations of sexual assault by California professor Christine Blasey Ford against Kavanaugh.

"I totally believe Dr. Ford, I do not think it's possible to question his credibility or his motives," said Yarmuth. "I think there are many reasons to question Judge Kavanaugh at this point."

Last week, Senator Jeff Flake of Arizona called on the FBI to take up to a week to review the charges against Kavanaugh before a Senate vote on his appointment. McConnell accepted the offer.

Ford and Kavanaugh testified before the Judiciary Committee last week about allegations that the Supreme Court candidate drugged him and tried to take his clothes off at a high school party.

Ford said on national television that she was 100% sure that her attacker was Kavanaugh. He has always denied the charges.

The FBI would not have more than a week to investigate these charges.

"I hope that the ongoing investigation will be thorough enough to bring as much information as possible, so that there is no doubt that Judge Kavanaugh says the truth, "Yarmuth said Monday.

Yarmuth's comments come when the former Kavanaugh classmate at Yale called the Supreme Court's hopeful comments on alcohol consumption, according to USA TODAY.

Charles "Chad" Ludington, an associate professor of history at North Carolina State University, issued a statement claiming Kavanaugh "did not tell the truth" by denying that he had never fainted and that he was minimizing his consumption as a young man.

"On several occasions, I heard Brett express his words and I saw him falter under the effect of his drinking," Ludington wrote. "When Brett was drunk, he was often aggressive and aggressive."

Ludington wrote that excessive drinking among young people should not "condemn a person for the rest of his life". But he said the statements made by Kavanaugh now matter.

"If he was lying about his actions on national television, and especially when he was speaking under oath before the US Senate, I think these lies should have consequences," Ludington wrote. "It is the truth that is at stake, and I believe that the ability to tell the truth, even if it is not reflected well, is a paramount quality that we seek among the most powerful judges in our country."

Yarmuth said that if Kavanaugh was confirmed, it would be a warning sign for the future of the judiciary.

"If Judge Kavanaugh is to be confirmed, I am concerned about the issues surrounding the partisan nature of the appointments. And also, there is a question of integrity, "said Yarmuth.
