Senators Jeff Flake (R-AZ) and Susan Collins (R-ME), both undecided on the confirmation of SCOTUS nominee Brett Kavanaugh, blasted Donald Trump’s mockery of Christine Blasey Ford, the woman accusing Kavanaugh of sexual assault.
Said Collins: “The president’s comments were just plain wrong.”

Flake also denounced the remarks: “There’s no time and no place for remarks like that. But to discuss something this sensitive at a political rally is just not right…It’s kind of appalling.”
