Dershowitz rips Booker’s Kavanaugh comments: ‘That’s what they said about people accused of being Communists’

Fox News contributor Alan Dershowitz says rhetoric that Brett Kavanaugh's nomination being a moment that transcends party politics is similar to the language used against accused Communists during the red scare of the 1950s.

In an interview with Tucker Carlson late Wednesday, the Harvard Law professor took aim at New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker (D), who called Kavanaugh's nomination a "moral moment in our country" and urged the White House to move on to a new Supreme Court nominee.

"It sounds very familiar," Dershowitz said. "When I was in college, that's what they said about people who were accused of being Communists. It doesn't matter whether you are innocent or guilty, if someone has accused you of being a Communist and you angrily responded and said you're not, then...you don't have the temperament to have the job."

"This goes all the way back to the inquisition," Dershowitz added. "When they would call you in first and make you testify, and then they'd present the evidence."

Dershowitz went on to reject arguments from Democrats that Kavanaugh, who has been accused of and has denied sexual assault by three women, is not "on trial."

He’d have a point, except for the fact many of the accused were communists and socialists who eventually worked their way into key places in society and government.

Just how many Communists are in the State Department?


The real answer is, most of them.

Well, it IS a point to the average American who has been taught that McCarthy was the most evil man who ever lived and that everyone questioned was an innocent victim.

I'm glad he's saying this.

Wrong question!  How many are not would produce a much shorter list.

You know, he's got a point.

The recent Ricin attacks on the WH etc evoked little more than a yawn from the MSM.

Used to be that kind of thing was considered important.

I remember a time when the main stream media used to be considered important...............................and people believed them. Then we got Walter and the slide into opinion served as actual news, now by a gaggle of fools with idiotic grins.
