CNN’s Sciutto: Gang Rape Allegations Are ‘Politics’

CNN anchor and former Obama official Jim Sciutto downplayed the gang rape allegations against Judge Brett Kavanaugh as “politics”on Thursday.

CNN political commentator Scott Jennings defended Kavanaugh’s anger during last week’s Senate Judiciary Committee hearing about sexual assault allegations, noting that Kavanaugh spent 12 years on the DC Circuit Court of Appeals with no temperament issues.

“This guy is getting up and going to work every day as a federal judge,” Jennings said. “That’s where you should judge his temperament.”

“To be honest with you, I think Judge Kavanaugh reacted exactly the way most Americans would react to being smeared,” Jennings added.

Sciutto cut Jennings off and asserted that allegations of sexual assault, gang rape, and drunken debauchery come with the territory of being nominated to the Supreme Court.

“I gotta challenge that, Scott. Let me challenge that, because it’s become a talking point,” Sciutto said. “Here’s the difference, Scott. This is a person … being considered for a lifetime position.”

“The fact is, this is Washington, this is politics,” Sciutto claimed. “Political candidates have been accused of horrible things for years, and it becomes – how do you respond to that?”

“Gang rape?” Jennings exclaimed with shock.

These people are despicable.  Sciutto basically admits that the gang rape charges were complete BS, yet justifies it by claiming that is how politics are played.  And in doing so, he indicts the entire drive-by media for playing along.  In other words, it is completely OK to destroy an innocent man as long as we get our way.  The ends always justify the means.

When people accept the means is justified by the ends it becomes a race to the bottom. It only matters who can come up with the best lies to achieve their goals and who's ox is being gored. Unfortunately D.C. is just a reflection of what the country is becoming. It isn't pretty and getting worse.

Jennings is right - this is indeed a gang rape of Kavanaugh's good name and reputation. 

Remember in November, folks.

CNN’s Jim Sciutto on 'gang-rape' slanders of Brett Kavanaugh: Hey, it’s just politics!

CNN’s Jim Sciutto believes that Brett Kavanaugh’s angry outbursts last week during a hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee are disqualifying because, let’s face it, this is Washington, D.C., and being accused of orchestrating gang rapes when you’re just 15 years old is “politics.”

The former Obama-official-turned-CNN anchor was responding to Scott Jennings, who had argued that Kavanaugh was justified to be angry last week during his hearing on allegations he sexually assaulted a woman when they were both in high school. After all, Jennings noted, partisans had been hammering away at the Supreme Court nominee with even flimsier allegations of sexual misconduct, including that Kavanaugh regularly attendee parties where he drugged and gang-raped girls when he was just a teenager.

To the people who keep saying Kavanaugh’s shows of anger are disqualifying, Jennings said, “I wonder how they would react if somebody showed up … and ran a three-week or four-week campaign to call them a rapist, a gang-rapist, a drunken — you know, no account whatsoever. I don’t think they would react very well. To be honest with you, I think Judge Kavanaugh reacted exactly the way most Americans would react to being smeared.”

This is about where Sciutto jumped in to argue all’s fair in love and politics.

“I got to challenge that, Scott. Let me challenge that, because it’s become a talking point,” the CNN anchor said. “Here’s the difference, Scott. This is a person … being considered for a lifetime position. The fact is, this is Washington, this is politics. Political candidates have been accused of horrible things for years, and it becomes — how do you respond to that?”

“Gang rape?” Jennings asked, incredulous.

Exactly what I would expect a pedophile and serial murderer to say.

He has been credibily accused.
