Trump unloads on Brett Kavanaugh accuser: 'She admits she was drunk'

Last edited Tue Sep 25, 2018, 01:13 PM - Edit history (2)

NEW YORK – President Donald Trump unloaded on congressional Democrats Tuesday for playing a "con game" over his Supreme Court nominee, Brett Kavanaugh, and he used his strongest language yet to criticize those accusing him of sexual assault.

“The second accuser has nothing,” Trump said of Deborah Ramirez, who has accused Kavanaugh of exposing himself to her at a party when they were freshmen at Yale University. “She admits that she was drunk. She admits time lapses."

Trump made the remarks to reporters during a bilateral meeting with the president of Colombia, Iván Duque Márquez.

“They’re really con artists,” Trump said of Democrats. “They don’t believe it themselves. They’re playing a con game, and they play it very well.”

3. Donwald: Just because you're running a con does not mean others are.

You're projecting again. Please stop doing that. Project this: You're an admitted "pussy grabber." Project that on this Kavanaugh dude. He's good for it.

Thanks,

4. So what if she was drinking?

How does that give Kavanaugh or anyone else the right to shove his ding-a-ling at her?

5. Totally ignoring all the emails exchanged by Yale students about the incident.

Remember, Ramirez didn't disclose Kavanaugh's weenie wagging on her own. A series of emails amongst other Yale contemporaries brought the incident up. Also, why is it okay for Kavanaugh and his buddies to be blackout drunk, but it's disqualifying if anyone else was?

7. If Trump vouches for someone, ANYONE, I immediately know that is a serious POS he is pushing...

Trump's complete lack of moral compass or even a passing ability to discern the difference between true talent or skill and boot licking sophistry or snivelling is legendary by now, but he is a truly worthless scumbag.

And all the guys were targeting Ms. Ramirez for more drinks, then the harassment occurred.

Sounded like Brettie had pulled this one before.
