CBS News reports:
Top White House officials took to television Friday morning to defend Kavanaugh and urge his swift confirmation to the highest court. Kellyanne Conway, appearing on “CBS This Morning,” was pressed how Kavanaugh could be a neutral figure on the court when he berated the accusations against him as political.
Conway claimed that once Kavanaugh is on the court, “he will call the balls and strikes” fairly, as he has for more than a decade. Conway said she did find Ford “very compelling and very sympathetic,” adding that she believes Ford “was wronged by somebody.” But Kavanaugh, she said, was not that somebody.
“It seems that she absolutely was wronged by somebody … it may turn out that they’re both right,” she said. “That she was sexually assaulted but that he had nothing to do with it.”

“They abused him for their own purposes. He had showed them respect and deference in his original confirmation hearing and they showed him ruination and destruction, in return.” — @KellyannePolls on #KavanaughHearings pic.twitter.com/2BFhZnClHd
