(CNN) North Dakota GOP Senate nominee Kevin Cramer said on Friday that the accusation against Supreme Court pick Brett Kavanaugh was "even more absurd" than Anita Hill's accusation against Clarence Thomas because Kavanaugh and his accuser were drunk teenagers when the alleged incident occurred. Cramer added that Ford's allegations were less legitimate than Hill's in part because the assault she describes "never went anywhere." Ford alleged that Kavanaugh was "stumbling drunk," but only said she had one beer at the party. Through her lawyers, Ford is negotiating with Senate Republicans over the terms under which she might testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee next week. She has requested that Mark Judge, whom she says witnessed the assault, be subpoenaed and that Kavanaugh testify before her.
