Senator Dean Heller Taking Some Heat Over Comments

Senator Dean Heller is taking some heat for calling the delay in the confirmation of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court, while sexual assault allegations against him are examined, a “Hiccup.” Critics call Hellers comment “Tone deaf” at best . The woman running to replace Heller in the Senate, Jacky Rosen, calls the comment “unbelievable” and “dismissive of credible sexual assault allegations.” Heller’s office tried to clarify his remark saying he was referring to the actions of democrats on the committee, and added it’s important for Dr. Ford to be able to share her story.
