Kane said she also “couldn’t believe” the allegations, adding that she attended the judge’s public confirmation hearings and witnessed several other women offering statements supporting Kavanaugh.

“I know memories are fuzzy. That is the challenge with this allegation. I also think, this can’t be an excuse to throw something out at the last minute . . . . I think, let’s not just use this for delay. Move forward and decide up or down [who] the senators believe . . . in this.”
Former assistant to President George W. Bush speaks out against Kavanaugh’s sexual assault allegations
“This is an environment Brett Kavanaugh understands and knows well, being in the White House, knowing when it’s all hands on deck, people come together and work through some difficult times. This is certainly a challenge. I would imagine, you know, Brett, of course, he said very publicly, he knows what he wants to say. He believes and he’s hoping that people will believe him. So, I’m sure he is reinforcing that at the white house because he needs to have all of the support of the administration, of course, behind him. I think they are saying all the right things as well. They want judge Kavanaugh to be heard. Once again, we have already heard his knowledge of history, Constitution and the law. We can’t dispute that. Now it’s his character on the line and he needs to be heard, but so does the accuser. They agree with that.” – Anita McBride
