GOP Sen. Susan Collins (Maine) said on Monday that if Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh lied about a sexual assault allegation that would be “disqualifying.â€
“Obviously if Judge Kavanaugh has lied about what has happened that would be disqualifying,†Collins told reporters.
Kavanaugh has denied wrongdoing after Christine Blasey Ford, Kavanaugh’s accuser, went public with her allegation that Kavanaugh held her down and forced himself on her at a party in the early 1980s when both were teenagers.
“On Friday, Judge Kavanaugh ‘categorically and unequivocally’ denied this allegation. This has not changed. Judge Kavanaugh and the White House both stand by that statement,†White House Spokesperson Kerri Kupec said on Monday.
