They’re totally not trying to find a way to convict Judge Brett Kavanaugh with zero actual evidence, just pointing stuff out, Keith Ellison was unavailable for comment
Sexual Abuse Isn’t Partisan
Yet the response usually is. Republican leaders can’t seem to take the problem seriously.
Republicans seem determined to brand themselves the party of sexual harassment and abuse.
This is not to pass judgment on whether the Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh sexually assaulted Christine Blasey Ford when they were in high school, as she has said. That has yet to be investigated.
The FBI refused to investigate. For one thing, no federal crime has been committed. Second, they’ve done a background check on Kavanaugh six times for various federal positions. Third, this was 36 years ago, the accuser has kind of squishy on details, and it would be the local police who would investigate. They need details. And might decline because it was 36 years ago and she failed to say anything in all this time. And, is a complete Democrat partisan supporter.
But, yes, it is meant to pass judgement on Kavanaugh.
In July, when Representative Jim Jordan faced multiple accusations of having overlooked the sexual abuse of college wrestlers while he was an assistant coach at Ohio State University, Republican lawmakers rushed not merely to defend their colleague but to tear down his accusers. Mr. Trump’s by now predictable response: “I don’t believe them at all.â€
And no one has been able to offer credible proof that Jordan overlooked the abuse. Many wrestlers came out in his defense.
Except that, if Dr. Blasey’s account is true, then Judge Kavanaugh is not “a really good man†because he would have been lying to Congress, the president and the American people.
Mr. Hatch isn’t the only Republican peddling a boys-will-be-boys defense. One anonymous lawyer “close to the White House†went so far as to warn of the dire repercussions of treating Dr. Blasey’s complaint seriously. “If somebody can be brought down by accusations like this, then you, me, every man certainly should be worried,†he told Politico. “We can all be accused of something.â€
How many have had their lives ruined, especially males in colleges, from accusations that were unsubstantiated and lacking proof beyond feelings? This, in fact, is the problem with the “all women should be believed” movement, which morphed into #MeToo when tons of Hollywood Democrats were caught out: it avoids Due Process. Sexual assault is a horrible crime. So are most crimes. That’s why they’re called “crimes.” Our system of justice relies on the notion of innocent till proven guilty, and evidence is required. Not just a person’s say so.
Anyhow, lots of Typical Whining from the Editorial Board which features a confirmed racist in Sarah Jeong at Republicans and Trump. What you’d expect.
And while the Senate Judiciary Committee has asked for Dr. Blasey and Judge Kavanaugh’s testimony on the accusations, it has not committed to hold full hearings, with witnesses, or to ask for an F.B.I. investigation, something Dr. Blasey on Tuesday insisted should occur before she appeared.
Remember, this isn’t partisan, guys and gals. Except for pushing the Talking Point about an FBI investigation, which is a complete canard and distraction. Or that Diane Feinstein sat on the letter since July, bringing it out at the 11th hour. And that the NYTEB, and all the Democrats, are strangely all on the same page about holding off till all the above happens. About finding Excuses to hold off, to attempt to run the clock out.
They don’t want this answered: they want to destroy a good man for their political purposes because they are Sore Losers.
Meanwhile, the Democrats sure don’t care about Keith Ellison and the accusations against him.
Ellison is leaving the House. When he’s nominated for a life-time appointment to the US Supreme Court all the accusations against him will be re-evaluated.
It’s clear the GOP considers sexual harassment and assault a venial sin.
No, they just want proof, as demanded by law.
Kid likes to invoke the Constitution, but has yet to read it.
He left the house to be voted in as the state attorney general for Muslim America. Er I mean Minnesota. Democrats prove over and over again they do not care about women at all. They vote for muslims who hate women and rate them as property. They vote for a muslim who abused women and then the left goes on a smear campaign against the woman.
METOO only applies to the GOP and conservatives. Where women are actually revered by the everyday joe. I cant speak for the politicians who cant keep their dicks in their pants but as for the rest of us. We revere women.
It’s cute that democrats act so concerned about sexual predation after completely covering for and turning a blind eye to it for the last 60 years. Absolutely precious.
Something tells me had Trump not been elected the left would still be making the sounds of crickets as long as bimbo-eruption Hillary was in office….at a minimum.
This is the same trick the Democrats pulled in Alabama. They knew about the allegations against Roy Moore, and if the allegations had been made public before the primary, appointed Senator Luther Strange (R-AB), who was supported by President Trump, would have won. Instead, they waited until Mr Moore had not only won the primary, but too much time had passed for the party to get him removed and replaced on the ballot, and the Democratic candidate took the Senate seat.
Just like in football, if you have a play that the opponent can’t seem to stop, you keep running it over and over and over again. That’s what they are doing here. The goal is to push the confirmation later and later, hoping that they will capture a Senate majority in the November elections, and then can defeat any nomination by Mr Trump outright.
Politics ain’t bean bag.
So, you’re admitting all your trumpery (like that?) about fair play for Dr I Can’t Remember is a dodge, and you like dirty politics as much as any Democrat?
The Feds said they aren’t investigating because it’s not a Federal crime, so we don’t get to hear her story and she goes back to CA.
Over Just like little Jeffery the Liar.
The only real solution is to have Justices Ginsburg, Breyer, Sotomayor and Kagan disappear, and have President Trump ram through appointments to replace all of them. Replace them with Justices who will apply the Constitution as it is actually written, and not allow the left to legislate via the courts.
See Notorious lately?
Trump might have 5 appointments before he’s through.
And Happy #TalkLikeAPirateDay!
