Not only has Judge Kavanaugh lied about documents, Miranda on and on, but it has also come out he (allegedly) is a predator — straight out of a scene from a John Hughes movie, like “Sixteen Candles”. So, to the party of “family values”, my question is this: are lying and assault “family values”?
Apparently these are behaviors that are fine if you’re a regressive Republican. Senator Collins (ME), when asked what she thinks of the new allegations of sexual assault by Kavanagh in the 80s, didn’t have much to say. Just stammering as she tried as fast as she could to get away from the reporter, “It really isn’t fair the way either of them handled this”, meaning, the victim didn’t “handle it well”.
Regarding Senator Collins:
Collins, a key swing vote in the Supreme Court fight, questioned why Democrats had waited for weeks to come forward with the allegation, arguing it wasn’t “fair” to either Kavanagh or Christine Blasey Ford, who alleges that Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her in the early 1980s.
“What is puzzling to me is the Democrats, by not bringing this out earlier, after having had this information for more than six weeks, have managed to cast a cloud of doubt on both the professor and the judge,” Collins told The New York Times.
Collins asked if Democrats believed Ford, “why didn’t they surface this information earlier,” and if they didn’t believe Ford, “why did they decide at the 11th hour to release it?”
“It is really not fair to either of them the way it is was handled,” Collins said.
Collins’s comments come after Ford spoke publicly about the alleged incident for the first time during an interview with The Washington Post that was published on Sunday.
Needless to say, Kavanaugh has zero business on that bench. And if these “moderate” Republicans like Collins and Murkowski don’t step up for Roe, for this old-fashioned concept of doing the right thing, to not throw a VICTIM OF ASSAULT under the bus in the name of confirming one of their own, we are really in trouble.
