On the recordApril 21, 2021
I would ask the Senator to yield for one last question. We can all understand how people's views change over time, but there is no way to reconcile these two statements, 2012 and 2021, which is the reason I believe that Ms. Gupta, for some reason lost to me, decided to tell the Senate Judiciary Committee two inherently conflicting statements under oath. She could have gotten out of it the easy way and said: ``Well, I made a mistake'' or ``I forgot'' or ``My views changed over time.'' I would have accepted that. But to come back on questions for the record and to state something that is 180 degrees opposed to her views in 2012--I have not heard her, I have not heard the distinguished majority whip, I have not heard anybody be able to reconcile those two statements.
