Trump on Kavanaugh: 'If it takes a little delay,' that's OK

President Donald Trump on Monday said that "if it takes a little delay" to confirm Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, that's alright.

Trump stressed that Kavanaugh "never even had a little blemish on his record," adding, "He is somebody very special."

The White House was reeling on Monday in the wake of explosive allegations by a California professor, Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, who alleged that Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her at a party when they were teenagers.

The allegations only became public in the past week, as Kavanaugh's confirmation seemed all but assured. Yet two Democratic lawmakers had known of them earlier this year. "I wish the Democrats could have done this a lot sooner," Trump said of the release of the allegations. "But with all of that being said, we want to go through the process."

So long as it gets done before the mid-terms I don’t care. This woman has been a HUGE BOON to GOP and conservative get out the vote efforts. Now there is a face of the crazy left to run against!

[Reno89519]

Yes, get it all done this week, get him confirmed BEFORE October 1.

[faithhopecharity]

aw sheit!

if the R’s can’t even confirm a well-qualified nominee.,
they’re hopeless
and we are sunk

[KyCats]

To this harpie, saying “If it takes a delay that’s okay” means “the White House was reeling.”

Example number 2 trillion of why no one takes the mainstream media seriously.

[McGavin999]

You realize if he doesn’t get confirmed before the midterms every evangelical in this country will turn out to vote.

[CondoleezzaProtege]

I just feel bad for Kavanaugh. Hope he has time to go on some sort of retreat or island vacation with his wife/family after this. To detox before heading to the bench.

[jyo19]

Exactly! Let our candidates run against this batshit crazy, lying woman!

[2ndDivisionVet]

He’s lining up Ginsburg and Sotomayor’s replacements and if the Left hated Kavanaugh, wait for the next two.

[jyo19]

According to him, his friend, Mr. Judge, was AT THE PARTY but he, himself, Kavanaugh was not. Game over. Get them and testify to that. That is pretty much the definition of exculpatory evidence.

The White House was reeling on Monday...

Doubt it. Editorialize much?

This battle has to be won. The attack on Judge Kavanaugh is a calculated effort to smear a good, wise & decent patriot, which if successful will further embolden an effort to again stifle a reawakening of the American spirit, which is so essential to the Trump purpose.

Radical Feminism must not be allowed to go on poisoning perceptions of human interaction--which is what is really behind these allegations.

The leftists don't seem to understand that by trying to smear a decent man with false accusations, they diminish those same accusations when they are real.

When every man is labeled a sexual predator, then nobody is.

[Alberta's Child]

This is just about the weakest public statement I've ever seen Donald Trump make on any matter -- especially one so important ...

... which tells me he's got a serious trick up his sleeve.

“The White House was reeling on Monday..”

According to the msm, the White House has been in a constant state of reeling.

“....in the wake of explosive allegations....”

If there were any explosions, they were fake.

I like the way you think

[Buckeye McFrog]

if the R’s can’t even confirm a well-qualified nominee., they’re hopeless

In your heart, you've known they're hopeless for a LOOOOOOONG time.

[Alberta's Child]

They were the kind of explosions Brian Williams has faced many times in his career as a professional journalist liar.
