Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh and his wife Ashley appear on Fox News to deny allegations made by Dr. Christine Blasey Ford that he sexually assaulted Dr. Ford when they were in high school.

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.
