Washington (CNN) The woman accusing Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of physical and sexual assault "should not be ignored or insulted," White House senior counselor Kellyanne Conway said Monday. "She should be heard," Conway told reporters, adding that the accuser, Christine Blasey Ford, should also testify under oath on Capitol Hill. Last week, a private letter making the allegations that was sent to Sen. Dianne Feinstein raised questions about Kavanaugh just days after his committee hearing concluded. On Sunday, Ford went on the record with The Washington Post about her allegations in the letter of physical sexual assault, which she said took place more than 30 years ago. Kavanaugh has repeatedly denied the allegation and said Monday he would discuss the accusation with the Judiciary Committee.
