Democrats demand Kavanaugh withdraw after third sexual misconduct allegation
MSN News ^ | September 26, 2018 | Adam Edelman

Senate Democrats on Wednesday demanded that President Donald Trump's Supreme Court nominee, Brett Kavanaugh, withdraw from consideration after a third woman came forward accusing him of sexual misconduct.

Moments after the allegations — which NBC News has not independently verified and were firmly denied by Kavanaugh — were made public, Democratic Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said in a statement that Kavanaugh should step aside. He also implored Republicans to "immediately suspend the proceedings related to" the judge's nomination.

"I strongly believe Judge Kavanaugh should withdraw from consideration. If he will not, at the very least, the hearing and vote should be postponed while the FBI investigates all of these allegations," Schumer said. In a letter to Trump, all 10 Democratic members of the Senate Judiciary Committee called for Kavanaugh's nomination to be withdrawn.

"The standard of character and fitness for a position on the nation's highest court must be higher than this. Judge Kavanaugh has staunchly declared his respect for women and issued blanket denials of any possible misconduct, but those declarations are in serious doubt," the lawmakers wrote.

Julie Swetnick, said that she was the victim of one of these gang rapes in approximately 1982. She did not allege that Kavanaugh participated in the rape, but said he and his friend Mark Judge were present when it occurred, adding that she was incapacitated by a drug placed in her drink without her consent and was unable to fight off her attackers.

Is it just me or do these Dem Senate leaders just get worse and worse...?

First was Daschle, then Reid, and now Schumer. Each one is more detestable than their predecessor.

All three were so sleazy and disreputable that I’d be hard pressed to tell you which one I despised the most.

They all know there is no truth to Swatnicks allegations. They want this hearing stopped because they know it’s over if the public sees how weak the case is.

“...How about GFY!...”

And there are variations on this recommendation that are appropriate as well. Total filth bags.

I have had it with being all kid gloves with these women. Having reviewed their stories, I call pure bull snot. It looks like this latest accuser might make Stormy Daniels look like a soccer mom.

this is how we know they know they don’t have the votes to stop it and the latest allegation is so outlandish it makes them look even more sick and demented.

The Democrats are desperate ti keep Ford from testifying (or failing to testify).

If Ford fails to testify, or melts down during testimony, the the Democrat party will collapse.

The Senate Democrats can go straight to hell, not passing GO or collecting $200.00.

She can offer no witnesses or corroborating evidence for these claims. Also, she was in college and Kavanaugh was in high school when this supposedly occurred.
