In their vile attempts to derail the senate confirmation of Judge Brett Kavanaugh, Democrats may have overplayed their hand. This includes everything from the now discredited accusations of Julie Swetnick to the recent cartoon of Kavanaugh’s daughter. Everyone was so appalled by comedian Rachel Butera’s imitation (she nailed it, by the way) of Christine Ford’s testimony, but the cartoon making fun of Kavanaugh’s ten-year-old daughter was somehow okay. Their tactics went way beyond politics as usual. One after another, politicians and law enforcement officials have said they’ve never seen anything like this in their careers.
And the American people have noticed.
Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi appeared on Hannity and said that, “a criminal defendant in a courtroom accused with murder would be treated more fairly and with more respect than Brett Kavanaugh was treated by the Senate Judiciary committee…He had to go in there as a guilty person and prove his innocence.”
Newt Gingrich joined Sean Hannity on Monday night to discuss it. Hannity began by saying, “there’s a certain embracing of slander now where it doesn’t matter whose family is hearing it.” Gingrich replied:
"The more vicious you are, the more your friends celebrate you. This election this fall is about two Americas. One America thinks that bullying you in a restaurant, bullying you in an elevator, harassing you, destroying you, smearing you, shaming you in front of your family is fine because they’re morally pure."
It is so true. Look at how this episode elevated the profile of Maizie Hirono (D-HI). Maizie who? Few Americans had ever heard of her prior to the Kavanaugh hearings, but after her abrasive remarks that men should “shut up and step up…,” she became a familiar face in the news. The grandstanding of, well, all of the Democrats on the Judiciary committee was on display, but none more so than possible 2020 presidential candidates Kamala Harris (D-CA) and Cory Booker (D-NJ).
No smear was too low for them. Not even Julie Swetnick’s accusation that Kavanaugh participated in “gang rapes.” Perhaps ten of them! Did they all go a little too far with their rhetoric?
The performance of Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee was clearly the tipping point. But, even prior to the Kavanaugh confirmation hearings, Democrats have given voters many reasons to flee. He pointed out that Gavin Newsom, California Democratic gubernatorial candidate, wants government run health care to pay for healthcare for illegals.
Hannity reminded viewers that there are ten million illegals there. Gingrich responded:
"That’s this year. But when the word goes out across the planet, go to California and get free health care, every person who gets sick on the planet is going to be told, get to California, they want to take care of you. Those kind of policies are so unsustainable."
The two go on to discuss the more general negative messages from the Democrats: We’re going to impeach Trump, open endless investigations, bring back Obamacare, which has been a disaster, abolish ICE and have open borders, and repeal the tax cuts.
Referring to the state senate seat in Texas that Republicans won for the first time in 139 years, Gingrich said the minute they heard that Democrats favored taxpayer funded abortions, they lost.
Gingrich said he’s going to go out on a limb and say that election night 2018 will be worse for liberals than 2016 was.
Lindsey Graham, whose powerful speech at last Thursday’s hearing went viral, believes the senate has enough votes to confirm Kavanaugh. Hopefully, Jeff Flake, fresh from his humiliating set-up by CNN and far left activists Maggie Gallagher and Ana Maria Archila, will vote yes. (He was chosen as the target because he was thought to be the most malleable of the Republican senators on the committee. What an unflattering adjective for a statesman.)
If the senate falls a vote short, however, Graham believes that President Trump should take it to the American people in the form of a midterm referendum. Gingrich and Hannity both heartily agreed.
The proceedings that have taken place over the last two weeks have shocked most Americans. That Democrats would go to the lengths they have to defend an accusation with not only no corroboration, but negative corroboration (all four named witnesses deny it happened), should not happen in America. If this fraud is allowed to stand, then it can happen to any one of us. And America can take it’s place among all the other totalitarian regimes, something few Americans would tolerate.
The Kavanaugh hearings have captured our attention more than any other issue could have. And we will take this fight to the ballot box.
Will he be sharing a couch with Pelosi and watch the returns come in ?
UNLESS THERE IS VOTER FRAUD!
START SCREAMING THAT THEY NEED TO HANDLE THIS NOW!!!
THE DEMOCRATS HAVE NOTHING TO LOS - THERE SEEMS TO BE NO CONSEQUENCES IF THEY DO, AND THERE WILL CERTAINLY BE NO INVESTIGATIONS IF THEY WIN.
I’m not calling these crazed leftists liberals, anymore.
They are fascist Socialists.
Let’s hope so!
Perfect!!
Not “if there will be voter fraud,” but what level of voter fraud...
Everyone understands the meaning of that no matter where they are on the bell curve.
Jez Newt, the least you could do is buy me a cold beer and thank me, ya been reading my post again here on FR haven’t ya!
Have not shocked me one bit. They are going insane. The deep state they worship is killing them. And they will never stop worshipping their false God. Their destiny has been set in stone for millenium.
One good idea Glenn Beck had a couple of years ago. He said he was just going to start calling Dims national socialists.
Fascist Socialists are civilized- these people are ISIS/Taliban destroyers of civilization. They want to destroy all of our statues, memorials, history, culture, borders and national sovereignty.
It’s shaping up that way. I can feel it.
NOV 6 SHOULD be a horrible night for them... but the closer we get, the more I fear that they have enough support to take the House and several Governorships.
“Jeff Flake, fresh from his humiliating set-up by CNN”
Setup” is B.S. He was in on the act from the get-go. Complete theater$
Best idea since white sliced bread. Oh, wait, is that raciss or sexiss or transiss?
You know...in every job there is always the:
“you gotta do....what you gotta do” aspect to it. Newt is no more perfect than any of us...but he is damn sure a solid Conservative voice and is seldom wrong when he is projecting results.....
For this we can smile....:)
Best to you Al baby
