On Thursday, House Intelligence Committee ranking Democrat Adam Schiff went all out and said that if his Republican senate colleagues continue to rush Brett Kavanaugh‘s confirmation, its pretty much the same thing as saying they don’t care if a sexual abuser is on the Supreme Court as long as they have their way.

When Schiff appeared on MSNBC for an interview with Morning Joe, he expressed hope that Christine Ford will testify about Kavanaugh’s alleged sexual abuse on Monday despite her reluctance to do so without an FBI investigation on her claim. Schiff argued that Ford is right to demand this investigation, and also said that congressional Republicans would like nothing more than for her to go away and never be heard from.

“The Senate shouldn’t simply rely on hearing two conflicting accounts and decide ‘well, we’re okay with not knowing, we’re okay with the fact we might be putting someone who committed attempted rape on the Supreme Court of the United States,’ Schiff said. “They should get to the bottom of this. It wouldn’t take that long to do. This is the same crowd that waited a year to fill the last vacancy during the Obama Administration on the Supreme Court, so why this rush?”
