Democratic Sen. Patty Murray of Washington, thanked Levine for her medical response to what she called Paul's "harmful misrepresentations" and denounced the senator for being disrespectful to the nominee.

"It is really critical to me that our nominees be treated with respect and that our questions focus on their qualifications and the work ahead of us, rather than ideological and harmful misrepresentations like those we heard from Senator Paul earlier, and I will focus on that as chair of this committee. So thank you again for your response," Murray said to Levine.

Sanders: "Mrs. DeVos ... would you be so kind as to tell us how much money your family has contributed to the Republican party over the years?"

DeVos: "Senator, first of all, thank you for that question. I, again, was pleased to meet you in your office last week. I wish I could give you that number. I don't know."

Sanders: "I have heard the number was 200 million. Does that sound in the ballpark?"

DeVos: "Collectively? Between my entire family?"

Sanders: "Yeah, over the years. Yes."

DeVos: "That's possible."

Sanders: "My question is, and I don't mean to be rude, but do you think, if you were not a multi-billionaire, if your family had not made hundreds of millions of dollars of contributions to the Republican party, that you would be sitting here today?"
