The Kavanaugh Hearing Has Donald Trump Jr. Afraid for His Sons

The president's son again demonstrates that he has no idea what he's talking about.

Donald Trump Jr. is one of his father's most outspoken partisans—after all, he just wants daddy's affection—but its always a little unnerving to see how far down the right-wing rabbit hole he's gone. In a recent interview with DailyMail.TV, he expressed how the Brett Kavanaugh hearings and the sexual assault claims made against the Supreme Court nominee has made him afraid for his sons, more so than his daughters.

"I got boys and I got girls," the president's son said in an excerpt of the interview released Monday, referring to his five children, "and when I see what's going right now, it's scary for all things."

"Who are you scared most for? Your sons or your daughters?" the interviewer asked.

"Right now, I'd say my sons," Trump Jr. replied. "The other problem is that for the people who are real victims of these things, when it is so obviously political in case like this, it really diminishes the real claims."

The subtext of Don Jr.'s assertion is pretty clear—he thinks the sexual assault claims made against Kavanaugh are purely political. That's a view shared by Republican senators who have called Christine Blasey Ford's accusation that Kavanaugh attempted to rape her a "smear" while refusing to say whether they think she was lying. But Junior is taking it a step further by implying that he worries more that his sons will be accused of rape than he does that his daughters will be raped.

I would think that would temper their reaction to things, but they want his "love and attention" whatever that means and will do anything to get it before he dies.

of doing something horrific: Don't do something horrific like drugging women and sexually assaulting them and don't associate or be around people whom do such stuff.

they may have done to hurt women. He has no problem with making it very clear to his daughters that no matter how innocent they may be it will always be their responsibility to keep from getting abused. If they get abused it is their fault so forget telling anyone. 'What a piece of slimy crap ( just like daddy. )
