Sen. Chris Coons, Delaware Democrat, drew double-takes on the right Monday after insisting that the burden of proof lies with Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh to prove his innocence.
Ms. Coons said that Christine Blasey Ford and Deborah Ramirez “have nothing to gain” and have put themselves “at legal risk” by accusing Mr. Kavanaugh of sexual misconduct in his teen years.
“It is Judge Kavanaugh who is seeking a lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court and who I think now bears the burden of disproving these allegations,” said Mr. Coons in a Monday interview on MSNBC, “rather than Dr. Ford and Deborah Ramirez who should be dismissed with slanderous accusations.”
Townhall.com’s Guy Benson called the argument “just wild,” while the Media Research Center blasted it as the “Dem idea of justice.”

This is the USA, not the former USSR and we have The Constitution and they're too ignorant to realize it.
Coons still hasn’t proven his innocence over the numerous credible anonymous online accusations of his pedophilia and selling children into sex slavery.
Since when did the burden of proof lie with the accused? These people are certified nutbags.
Hey Senator Ugly.....you are an EVIL, VILE, VICIOUS LOON!!!
My god, I really really hate Democrats!
Come on down, Chris Coons, you win communist of the week!
Democrats were never going to vote for him.
What difference does make whether they believe him or not.
FU you anti American POS
*** STUPID IS, AS STUPID DOES ***
Democrats hate the US Constitution and all for which our country stands.
Their god promised them a fundamental transformation of America, and his worshippers are doing their best to destroy America for him.
I hope all republican candidates start to run on the innocent until proven guilty platform because every family member dependent upon a male wage earner is at risk for being homeless at the turn of one of those witches screws.
And here is a case where children really are hit hardest
Is this mongoloid idiot a lawyer by any chance? If so, he ought to be disbarred, deballed or defrocked; whatever it is they do to lawyers who aren’t fit to practice their trade.
Guilty until proven innocent.
So says someone from the party that got untold millions from Weinstein and all sorts of other confirmed sex addicts.
No, they aren’t ignorant of the Constitution. They are in the process of dismantling it at every left turn.
Prove what? A charge with no timeline, no place, no witness, and no memory on the part of the accuser?
Oh boy, are they ever opening up a can of worms for themselves.
Blow back will be fierce.
The standard for Straight White Men is now Guilty Even When Proven Innocent.
This is a guy who stood beside his 13 year old daughter smiling while Joe Biden clutched and nuzzled her and whispered in her ear during his swearing in
I bet she remembers that occasion
...join the chorus nitwit,these people are hurting themselves Note: Chuckie,Nancy,turbandurban have been remarkably silent since the first week, let the lower scum run around making fools of themselves...
