Dershowitz: Kavanaugh accuser must be asked tough questions
By Brett Samuels - 09/25/18 09:27 AM EDT
Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz on Tuesday implored the counsel for the Senate Judiciary Committee to ask tough questions of Christine Blasey Ford, who has accused Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault.
"A good cross-examining lawyer has to be gender-free, has to raise the same kinds of tough questions about repressed memory and how to reconstruct memory," Dershowitz, who is also an opinion contributor for The Hill, said on "Fox & Friends."
"Any woman or man who is afraid to be tough in examining her, or cross-examining him should not have that job," Dershowitz added.
Dershowitz, who regularly appears on Fox News and often defends President Trump, appeared to confuse Ford, who is scheduled to testify Thursday, with Deborah Ramirez, who came forward with separate sexual misconduct allegations against Kavanaugh that were published in The New Yorker on Sunday.
