WASHINGTON, D.C. – The circus show that was the he said, she said testimony of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh and the woman accusing of sexual malfeasance, Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, is over and the Senate’s top Republican released a statement in the aftermath.
Kentucky Senator Mitch McConnell released this statement:
“I sincerely thank both Dr. Christine Blasey Ford and Judge Brett Kavanaugh for testifying before the Judiciary Committee today. Both these witnesses were done an immense disservice by my Democratic colleagues, who willfully chose to turn a sensitive allegation into a political and media circus that inflicted considerable pain on Dr. Ford, Judge Kavanaugh, and both of their families. I regret that Senate Democrats declined to apologize for disregarding Dr. Ford’s request for confidentiality or for cheering on a public campaign to assassinate Judge Kavanaugh’s character based on uncorroborated allegations.
“I thank Chairman Grassley for cleaning up their mess and supervising a civil and professional hearing under immensely difficult circumstances. The Chairman offered Dr. Ford a wide variety of ways in which she could be heard, and today’s hearing was the path that Dr. Ford and her representatives chose. The Chairman’s hard work made it as safe and comfortable as possible.
“I have no reason to think that Dr. Blasey Ford offered the committee anything less than her sincere best recollections. Her testimony was heartfelt. I listened to her intently. Likewise, Senators have no reason to doubt the sincere and heartfelt testimony of Judge Kavanaugh. The nominee forcefully and firmly restated his complete and unequivocal disavowal of the misconduct Dr. Ford alleges. The Senate and the nation heard two witnesses testify under oath to completely conflicting recollections. What we did not hear was any evidence whatsoever to bolster the allegation made against Judge Kavanaugh.
“All three of the individuals whom Dr. Ford has named as supposed eyewitnesses have made statements to the Senate under penalty of felony. None of them corroborate her account. To the contrary, they refute it. They have stated under penalty of perjury that they have ‘no recollection,’ ‘no knowledge,’ or ‘no memory’ of the alleged incident. Two of them said they have never seen Judge Kavanaugh do anything like what has been alleged. One of them, Dr. Ford’s personal friend, even states that she ‘does not know’ Judge Kavanaugh.
“No evidence corroborates Dr. Ford’s allegation. No evidence was presented today to back it up. And all existing evidence refutes it.
“The task now before the Senate is to do justice. In America, justice begins with the presumption of innocence. And justice dictates that totally uncorroborated allegations of 30-plus-year-old misconduct – denied by the nominee, contradicted by all extant evidence, and wholly at odds with a life-long reputation – are nowhere near sufficient grounds to demolish a citizen’s good name and nullify a sterling career of dedicated public service. It would be a great injustice, and a grave mistake, to set such a precedent. We cannot set the bar so low.
“Judge Brett Kavanaugh has been through six FBI background investigations over his career. The Senate has pored over his personal and professional history for months now. The overwhelming weight of all the evidence confirms that he is an exemplary federal judge and a man of impeccable character who treats everyone – especially women – with respect.
“It would be imprudent, unfair, and unjust to delay proceedings even further on the basis of uncorroborated allegations which have been weaponized by others at the last minute for political purposes.
“I am glad Chairman Grassley has scheduled a committee vote for tomorrow. I will be proud to vote to confirm Judge Kavanaugh when the full Senate votes on his nomination in the coming days.”
The American people want to know about all of our other elected officials who paid off sexual misconduct cases with tax payer fund. Why are they still acting as our Senators and congressmen and house members. They need to be fired!
So if a grown adult woman sees a penis at college party it’s called “Sexual Assault “ but if a little girl sees a penis in the women’s bath room it’s called “Tolerance” ? Where’s the damn adults?
Old SAYING — WHERE’S THE BEEF ! Referring to you proof of your democratic style smear tactic against Kavanaugh – you are a bunch of liars just like your last foreign born president that was a scam – Obama BOLOGNEY we say.
You are one dumbass POS.
Typical Liberal. When you don’t have a argument resort to name calling!
Flake – a anti American snowflake-being tossed by the wind in hopes of catching the brass ring attached to a suitcase full of greenbacks forked over by Soro’s and his Anti American pack of democrats – slimy SOBs.
You idiots don’t think Flake was in on this. It was planned and filmed so he could have political cover. He is a never Trumper and part of the establishment deep state government that is losing power.
DR FORD has committed PERJURY – Sanford University state that she is not a licensed PSYCHOLOGIST and has never taken the state required test in any state to be a licensed psychologist and it is against the law for her to refer to herself as such – even in calicrarynia – Yet in her opening statement she stated her name and position to the senate oversite committee after being SWORE IN . – which was false testimony – 5 YEARS IN JAIL for the filthy bitch.
You are so full of it. Do you have any collaboration for your claim about Dr Blasey-Ford? I am sure you meant Stanford University but I have found no links to that statement. More right wing wacko lies just like Kavanaugh’s lies. Do you know what boffing means? He says it is flatulence. It doesn’t. Do you know what Devil’s Triangle means? He says it is a drinking game. it is not. Those are the obvious ones.
It is obvious you are a IDIOT who had no business teaching young children. Did you ever thing those saying might have different meanings to different people? Of course Liberal’s want to change the meaning to fit their narrative. You are nothing but lying anti American thugs.
She is DEFINITELY a liar of the highest order. Says she paid for her own retirement.
Thanks BoBo for once again entertaining me again. I must admit there doesn’t seem to be anyone that can defeat you when it comes to defending the liberal message or liberal spin on anything.
Please keep up your efforts as I’m sure you will. I’m also very grateful you aren’t teaching young impressionable minds any longer. Thanks, hope to hear from you soon.
I don’t want to entertain you, I want to enlighten you. By the way, I was a great teacher. Ask my former students.
Why would we ever ask anyone brain washed by you anything?
We will remember the ignorance and the faces of every one of them for the disgrace the caused this country and its people. If Judge Kavanaugh doesn’t get this seat we will never forget what they did
Sounds like a threat. What you going to do?
Take it anyway you want. We are getting fed up with liberals B.S. and need to start defending ourselves.
Scary
hillarys FBI email investigation was completed in 2 days. So Judge Kavanaugh’s FBI investigation should only take 2 hours.
dumocrats wish there sex abuse accusers were like Dr. Blasey Ford from ancient history instead of from a month or two ago. They need to take a page out of there own cheat book.
Mitch McConnell is a Republican Trump ass kissing sycophant.
He’s been in there way too long, just like Grassley, Feinstein and several others.
McConnell is POS.
What a moron.
