A theme of moderator Chuck Todd’s questioning for conservative guests regarding the matter included grilling them on how much evidence they needed to show Kavanaugh’s guilt or to kill his nomination. “How are we going to resolve whether who is believed here,” was his question to Goldberg.
“I'm not sure that we are. I do think the preponderance of the evidence that we have, which is almost entirely circumstantial, witness testimony and the like, is in Judge Kavanaugh's favor,” he explained. Noting that Kavanaugh’s accuser named four other people who were allegedly at the party where the assault was said to have happened, Goldberg added, “They don't know about the party. One person who is a friend of Ford's doesn't even say she knows Kavanaugh.”
Todd cut his guest off to remind him that the woman, though she denied being at the party, “[s]he did say she believes Ford, for what it’s worth.” Which is a truly bizarre concept: The woman says she believed the person who claims she was at a party she denied being at. Huh?
