Richard Blumenthal actually said...

"He deserves to have a vote, if it is concluded he's telling the truth, if his veracity is established after this hearing."

"The lack of diversity on that committee is their doing, not ours. And there is nothing about that excuse that justifies their ducking their constitutional duty."

"But even before the hearing, if he really wanted to clear his name, he would demand that the White House order an FBI investigation of these serious credible allegations."

"The really significant news tonight is scheduling this vote the day after, literally the day after this hearing, leaving no one really time to consider the testimony."
