For the past week, the left has been in a tizzy over the allegations against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. The liberals in the media and in our government are screeching with pleasure as they see these insane allegations as a way to stop the confirmation. However, as time continues to pass the allegations against Kavanaugh are beginning to crumble as his accuser refuses to testify and many people are seeing this attack as a political move.
Now, the Democrats are receiving more bad news on what they thought was their “ace in the hole” in toppling Kavanaugh and it could not have come at a better time.
Here is more from Conservative Tribune:
The days of mere innuendos are over: On Sunday, The Washington Post published a full account of what Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh’s accuser is actually accusing him of doing.
In the piece, 51-year-old research psychologist Christine Blasey Ford claims that at a party during their high school years, a “stumbling drunk” Kavanaugh “pinned her to a bed on her back and groped her over her clothes at a party, grinding his body against hers and clumsily attempting to pull off her one-piece bathing suit and the clothing she wore over it.”
“I thought he might inadvertently kill me,” Ford said. “He was trying to attack me and remove my clothing.”
There are two reasons why this story is of interest to the media, one reasonable and one cynical. Reasonably, an accusation of sexual misconduct against a Supreme Court nominee, no matter how long ago it happened or how it was aired, is certainly a subject worth covering. Cynically, the watch is on to see if this can derail Kavanaugh the same way that the Democrats’ actions during his confirmation hearings didn’t.
If the words of one “Republican in Name Only” senator — who was widely considered a swing vote for Kavanaugh’s nomination — are any indication, the accusation might not be as much of an issue as the left might think.
Sen. Susan Collins of Maine has often been a foil to Republican unity in the upper chamber, as evinced by the fact that Planned Parenthood has honored her in the past. They’re now running a series of ads trying to get her to vote against Kavanaugh.
However, reached by The New York Times about the allegations, she seemed to be wary of the politicization of it all, with The Times noting that Collins said “Democrats had done a disservice to both Ms. Ford and Judge Kavanaugh with their handling of the accusations.
“What is puzzling to me is the Democrats, by not bringing this out earlier, after having had this information for more than six weeks, have managed to cast a cloud of doubt on both the professor and the judge,” Collins told the paper.
