United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley said Sunday that people shouldn't "second guess" Christine Blasey Ford, the woman accusing Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault.

“I put his denial in the context of everything that I know about him in terms of how he approaches his cases. His credibility is already very questionable in my mind and in the minds of a lot of my fellow Judiciary Committee members," Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii) said on CNN's "State of the Union."
