Fox News host Chris Wallace said Thursday that Christine Blasey Ford's testimony about Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh is a "disaster for the Republicans."
Ford told the Senate Judiciary Committee about her allegations that Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her when they were in high school. In extremely emotional testimony, Ford described the alleged event and the effect it has had on her life. A Fox News panel discussed how hearing from Ford herself was far different from reading her allegations.
