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 we’ll 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 it’s an insult to the American public. I think you’re 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 justice’s nomination.
Democrats have expressed optimism that the furor over Kavanaugh’s 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.
Oh yeah...I nailed that good didn’t I?
Yes, excellent catch. We had better all download a copy of that and the others before they’re scrubbed from the internet and down the memory hole. But then, I wear a tinfoil hat.
BTW...that image is on my imgur private account, shouldn’t show up on casual browsing without being directed to the image url. Feel free to use for posting....after making copies of course. ;>)
A two door, even.
That tweet from PDJT is pure gold! :-)
Thanks - I’ve already downloaded and saved the link!
That Ford is an Edsel!
That image is probably going to go all over the world.
Lotta folks read FR.
That’s the connection that intrigues me. They were hanging out together in England (somewhere in Europe) and then the FBI gal resigned and came to Delaware where Ford moved in with her for a time before the face down with the Senate. Working on the story perhaps?
the Dems are going to be totally shocked on November 7 ... and not in a good way ... they’re gonna be almost as shocked as they were in 2016 ... leftist tears, while more voluminous than in 2016, will be substantially more concentrated and contain large portions of bile, venom, and hate ... they’ll make excellent finish and paint stripper ...

BTTT
I had a Ford Pinto — it was a GREAT CAR!! (No, I’m not kidding. I put over 300,000 miles on it before it finally bit the dust.)
Americans in both parties said "WTF???" In unison.
NOT a wise move.
If anyone has a direct link to that particular Tweet by the President would you be so kind as to post it? TIA
Trump calling out the mob rule was brilliant!
The :therapists notes are probably from a planning meeting held in 2012 to take out Brett if need be. Therefore there was no therapist.
Ford claims the letter to Senator Finstein was written in Rehoboth where she was staying in July. Monica McLane lives in Rehoboth. Monica, a 25 year FBI veteran, is said to be a "lifelong friend" and, according to her ex-boyfriend, lived with Monica off and on. Ford also coached Monica in polygraph technology for her application process for the FBI. It is reported that Monica "texted" Leyland Keyser to pressure her into revising her testimony.
Swetnick is also a "life long friend" who went to Holton High and was a signatory in the letter posted at the above article.
Looks like "Beach Friends" are co-conspirators.
Agree on all points. What saved us was that Justice Kavanaugh was a Bushie judge and Bush family favorite. He worked at the Bush White House for a few years. Then got nominated to the DC circuit courts by GW Bush.
Judge-Justice Kavanaugh then moved away from Bush era cave ins (probably pugnaciously inspired by DJT) and made his case to the American people as more than 100 million watched on TV and smart phones
