Experts share what you can do for your mental health amid news that Brett Kavanaugh will likely be confirmed.
Brett Kavanaugh is likely being confirmed to the Supreme Court. And for many, that news feels devastating.
Several women have publicly accused Kavanaugh of sexually harassing or assaulting them when he was in high school and college in the 1980s. The discussion surrounding those accusations has been particularly difficult for sexual assault victims, who have heard politicians dismiss survivors’ pain amid a barrage of news coverage and heated conversations about Kavanaugh.

Even if she admits that it is a lie, the libs will still believe her original atory. They will say that she is in denial.
Here’s a suggestion for libs:
