President Trump said Monday that he expects a lot of Democratic voters to support Republican candidates in the upcoming midterms because of how the party's lawmakers handled sexual misconduct allegations against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
"The main base of the Democrats have shifted so far left that well end up being Venezuela. This country would end up being Venezuela. I think a lot of Democrats are going to be voting voting Republican on Nov. 6," Trump told reporters at the White House before departing for a law enforcement event in Florida.
The president seized on the specter raised by some liberals of impeaching Kavanaugh, who was confirmed to the Supreme Court on Saturday after being accused by three women of sexual misconduct and facing questions from Democrats about his judicial temperament.
Trump dismissed the allegations against Kavanaugh including that he sexually assaulted Christine Blasey Ford when the two were in high school as "a hoax that was set up by the Democrats."
He later blasted allegations from Julie Swetnick that Kavanaugh was present at parties where high school boys got girls drunk so they could be "gang raped," calling them "made up," "fabricated and "a disgrace."
"And now they wan to impeach him," Trump said. "I think its an insult to the American public. I think youre going to see a lot of things happen on Nov. 6 that would not have happened before."
President Trump claims that the sexual assault allegations against Brett Kavanaugh were "all made up".
CNN Politics (@CNNPolitics) October 8, 2018 Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.), the ranking Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, said last week on the eve of Kavanaugh's confirmation that Democrats would investigate the sexual misconduct allegations against the judge if the party reclaimed the majority in the House.
Nadler did not comment on the possibility of impeaching Kavanaugh, and other Democratic lawmakers have refrained from discussing that prospect, or indicated they have no intention to pursue it in the near future.
Sen. Chris Coons (D-Dele.), a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, called impeachment discussions "premature," while House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said it "would not be my plan" to impeach the Justice.
The Senate confirmed Kavanaugh on Saturday afternoon in a 50-48 vote, with one GOP senator absent and another voting "present." Every Democrat opposed Kavanaugh's nomination except for Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.).
Hundreds of anti-Kavanaugh protesters descended on the Capitol in the days leading up to the confirmation vote, with some activists confronting lawmakers and urging them to oppose the justices nomination.
Democrats have expressed optimism that the furor over Kavanaughs confirmation will translate to high turnout in November.
In the aftermath of the vote, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) suggested the outpouring of opposition to Kavanaugh would serve to rally GOP voters heading into the final month of the midterm campaign.
“President Trump claims that the sexual assault allegations against Brett Kavanaugh were “all made up”
The whole script was probably written and directed by Hollywood scum.
"Does Chrissie Blatantly-Whored have four male witnesses?"
one step at a time
That’s why the Dems hate and fear him so much, and why we need to re-energize with everything we have to back him - he is as tireless as they are and plows ahead as they try to pile up obstacles...if we don’t win a lot over the next few years it’s out fault for not doing our parts.
High mileage.
I bet they know that, and that will make them even more over-the-top insane. Vesuvius? What volcano?
Also,
2 door Ford’s excuse for requiring a second front door had nothing to do with her testimony of a mental state resulting from a monster’s attack, it was required by the City Building Code due to her remodel to allow renting out a room.
This makes it possible for everybody to say it.
Thank you Mister President.
Why wait until November? If it is so important, why don't they hire private investigators - and pay for it themselves?
Trump is telling the truth.
DJT clearly knows more than we do
This man sounds like a FReeper.
How did we become so blessed by God?
We were lucky!
[ Trump calls Kavanaugh allegations a ‘hoax set up by the Democrats’ ]
Well, that’s only because the Kavanaugh allegations were a hoax set up by the Democrats.
Correct. She has a “mission accomplished” glint in her eye.
She’s also looking for a small nod if it’s O.K. to cash the check for her performance.
Wish we could tell to whom she was directing her gaze from that scrum...Feinstein?
That would be my guess. Someone gave her a nod or a silent “yes/good job” mouthed. She was looking for affirmation on her performance.
