Posted on September 16, 2018 by John Hinderaker in Brett Kavanaugh, Senate
Jeff Flake, Traitor
“Traitor†is normally considered a harsh word, but it is the only printable thing I have called “Republican†Senator Jeff Flake since he announced, a few hours ago, that he is “not comfortable voting yes†on Judge Kavanaugh’s nomination to the Supreme Court. His concern is the ridiculously stale allegation by Democrat professor Christine Ford that Kavanaugh groped her and tried to kiss her at a party when they were both high school students more than 30 years ago. You might reasonably think this is a joke. Unfortunately not.
Kavanaugh unequivocally denies Ford’s allegation, and the only witness to the event (per Ford), Mark Judge, says “It’s just absolutely nuts. I never saw Brett act that way.†I think Ms. Ford is pretty obviously lying (don’t get me started on the friendly “lie detector test†that the Washington Post says she passed), or, on the most charitable explanation, possibly has Brett Kavanaugh confused with someone else.
In any event, the idea that a 30 to 40 year old story of this sort–He tried to kiss me! He lay on top of me!–that has never been heard before, can derail the nomination of a man who by all accounts, including those of political adversaries, is of the most sterling possible character, is ridiculous.
