Gardner made clear his decision to back Kavanaugh during the summer, announcing Friday that he would vote in his favor and adding that “no evidence was found by the FBI to corroborate the allegations made against him or to make me change the support I announced for him in July.”
Discussing sexual assault allegations leveled against Kavanaugh by Christine Blasey Ford, Gardner simply said, “We live in a country where both sides should always be heard. Victimized women that come forward are brave and courageous. Every victim of abuse, assault, and violence has been through an unspeakable tragedy and we need to do a better job listening to them, ensuring support is available, and fighting to end abuse of any kind. I hope that the partisan divide we all feel today does not hinder the people that have bravely come forward.”
