Dem senator says 'we're not in a court of law' when asked about presumption of innocence for Kavanaugh
By Megan Keller - 09/24/18 12:31 PM EDT

Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii) on Monday doubled down on comments she made over the weekend implying she does not think Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh deserves a presumption of innocence in the assessment of the sexual assault allegations against him because of his “ideological agenda.”

“Look, we're not in a court of law,” Hirono said on MSNBC when asked to clarify if she thought Kavanaugh deserved a presumption of innocence. "We're actually in a court of credibility at this point and without having the FBI report or some semblance of trying to get corroboration we are left with the credibility of the two witnesses."

She added that Kavanaugh's credibility was “already questionable in her mind” because of how he rules on cases as a judge, an accusation she also made in her comments Sunday.
