Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) had some powerful words for Christine Blasey Ford during Thursday’s Senate confirmation hearing for Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. “I have found your testimony powerful and credible, and I believe you,” Blumenthal told the Palo Alto University professor. Blasey, who accused Kavanaugh earlier this month of sexually assaulting her in 1982, was testifying to the Senate Judiciary Committee. During Blumenthal’s line of questioning, Blasey broke down in tears in response to his poignant statement. Visibly moved, Blasey mouthed the words “thank you” in response to Blumenthal.
