Schumer: ‘There Is No Presumption of Innocence’ for Kavanaugh

BY: Aryssa Damron September 25, 2018 4:40 pm

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.) said on Tuesday there is "no presumption of innocence" for Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh when it comes to sexual misconduct allegations because "this is not a criminal trial."

"There is no presumption of innocence or guilt when you have a nominee before you," Schumer told reporters during a press conference on Capitol Hill.

His remarks contrast those from Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R., Ky.), who said on Tuesday that Kavanaugh deserved the presumption of innocence.

"I think everybody in America understands there's a presumption of innocence. That standard of fairness is applied to every American citizen in almost every situation. I think we ought to go into these hearings with a presumption of innocence, but hear the argument on the other side, the testimony on the other side so the members of the Senate can make a decision here on a very, very significant matter," McConnell said.

Kavanaugh has been accused of sexual misconduct by two women, one who accused the nominee of sexually assaulting her in the early 1980s while they were both in high school and another who says he exposed himself at a party while they were both students at Yale. Kavanaugh and his first accuser, Christine Blasey Ford, who says he groped her at a party 36 years ago, are expected to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday.

"It's not a legal proceeding, it's a fact-finding proceeding," Schumer said.

Imagine the media firestorm if a Republican said that about a Democrat nominee.

“It’s not a legal proceeding, it’s a fact-finding proceeding,” Schumer said...........but he is still definitely guilty, right, dickhead?

Can we remove Schmucky from the Senate? Cause clearly he’s in violation of his oath to preserve, protect and defend.

Yup soviet style kangaroo trials.

It’s a BS statement and he knows better. If he’s found to have had assault here they’ll get him disbarred from the appeals court and if he doesn’t kowtow there they’ll go after criminal charges because two civil cases can’t be wrong.

The right to due process is part of the United States Constitution, and that schmuck Chuck swore an oath to uphold it.

One more piece of evidence that Democrats have no respect for it!

Charles Schumer likes to butt-hump little boys. It’s TRUE!!! I’ll be sending a letter with all the details to the US Senate in about thirty years and it’ll prove he’s GUILTY!!! Even if I’m lying he’s GUILTY because there can be no presumption of innocence when the charges are so SERIOUS!!!!

Fake but accurate fact finding. Remove Joe McCarthy’s face from textbooks and put this despot there instead
