White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Tuesday that “we would be open” to Deborah Ramirez of Boulder, a second woman accusing Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual misconduct, testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee this week.

Sanders said that “process could take place on Thursday,” when Kavanaugh and Christine Blasey Ford, who has separately accused him of assaulting her in high school, are scheduled to testify.

She said President Donald Trump “has said a number of times these individuals should be heard.” At the same time, she noted that Kavanaugh has been “unequivocal in his denial” of sexual assault allegations.

Sanders added, “This is a country where you’re innocent until proven guilty except when you’re a conservative Republican.”

Republicans have accused Democrats of a smear campaign by using the women’s accusations of misconduct by Kavanaugh in high school and college to try to defeat his nomination.

Sanders spoke after her boss took to Twitter Monday night to defend his pick for the high court, saying Democrats are “working hard to destroy” Kavanaugh.

Trump tweeted that the judge is “a wonderful man, and a man who has the potential to be one of our greatest Supreme Court Justices ever.”

Trump’s tweet said Democrats are attacking Kavanaugh “with an array of False Acquisitions the likes of which have never been seen before!” In a later tweet he corrected “Acquisitions” to “Accusations.”

The president tweeted Monday night from New York, where he was preparing to address the U.N. General Assembly on Tuesday.
