WASHINGTON _ Blindsided by an accusation against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault, conservative groups still pushing for his confirmation had a message Monday: Let's hear from the accuser.
"Obviously Ms. Ford's allegations are serious and should be heard," said Mallory Quigley, a spokeswoman for the anti-abortion rights group Susan B. Anthony List, which has been organizing in states with key 2018 contests to push Kavanaugh's confirmation. "Judge Kavanaugh should also have an opportunity to respond. This should be done as quickly as possible so that the vote can continue without delay."
Still, she said, "We have no reason to change our support for Judge Kavanaugh."
