Sen. Harris: Men ‘Approached Me in Public Places’ Crying After Kavanaugh Was Confirmed

‘One of the worst things that happens is that when we are not willing to believe the victim and take them seriously’

RUSH EXCERPT:

HARRIS: “You’re right. I mean, listen, of the initial hearings that happened a year ago, the number of women, and men, who approached me in public places and cried about what this meant to them because there’s so much about this issue, and I as a prosecutor personally prosecuted sexual assault cases and cases of this general nature, and one of the worst things that happens is that when we are not willing to believe the victim and take them seriously. Take them seriously. Investigate the case. Determine and assess credibility. But let’s take the allegations seriously. And it’s a very serious allegation. So, you know, I think that, you know, what we have seen, frankly, is we’ve seen a suppression of evidence. If the bodies that are charged with actually investigating fail to do it and block it off, or tailor it, I would argue that’s suppression of evidence.”
