After watching Judge Brett Kavanaugh testify in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) said she's even more certain that he "doesn't belong anywhere near the Supreme Court."

On Facebook, Warren said she believes Christine Blasey Ford, the California professor who says that when they were teenagers, Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her. Her testimony was "brave, compelling, and credible," while Kavanaugh, who sparred with several Democratic senators, gave an "unhinged, dishonest performance in the hearing."
