Democrats demand Kavanaugh withdraw after third sexual misconduct allegation

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a letter to Trump, all 10 Democratic members of the Senate Judiciary Committee called for Kavanaugh's nomination to be withdrawn.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.

If Christine Blasey Ford does not tesify, or even if she does, the democrats will be highly mortified.

And we demand you vote to confirm Kavanaugh. You are a group of evil anti American politicians that should all be in jail for disgracing America and Americans.

The Dems are afraid that Ford will be cut to pieces by the outside prosecutor
It is one thing to make accusations, but another to defend them
