The appearance itself was highly unusual, a Supreme Court nominee defending himself on television after confirmation hearings. But the interview also took a bizarre turn when the Fox reporter, Martha MacCallum, asked Kavanaugh if he was a virgin during the time of the assaults.

Neither of the women who have accused Kavanaugh of sexual assault have also alleged rape.

Kavanaugh repeated multiple times that he only wants a fair process and the ability to clear his name. GOP members of the Judiciary Committee say there could be a vote by the end of the week.
Mitch McConnell doesn't care if Brett Kavanaugh's accusers are being truthful — he's holding a vote. https://t.co/HlWDiqqzEX
