The testimonies from U.S. Supreme Court Nominee Brett Kavanaugh and Christine Blasey Ford have kept people captivated far beyond the Capitol in Washington, D.C. During her testimony, Ford said she is 100 percent sure that this is not a case of mistaken identity, while Kavanaugh said he will not be withdrawing amid these allegations.
Several of Utah’s elected officials were riveted, too, and we’ve rounded up what they’ve been saying on Twitter.
In her testimony, Dr. Ford was credible, courageous and I believe she was sexually assaulted. I just don’t believe it was by Judge Kavanaugh. He was equally credible in his words today. #SCOTUS

There’s a lot of character self-promotion. Here’s the thing ... he can be a great jurist, a great lawyer, a wonderful family man, a deeply religious person, a tremendous friend. A super mentor. A winning coach. And still have done exactly what Dr. Ford said he did.
