Feinstein calls Trump attack 'an embarrassment'

9:20 p.m.

Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein is calling President Donald Trump's attack on her handling of an allegation against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh "ridiculous and an embarrassment."

The ranking member of the Judiciary Committee is again denying she breached the confidence of Christine Blasey Ford, who claimed Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her when they were in high school. Kavanaugh denied the allegation.

Feinstein says: "Dr. Blasey Ford knows I kept her confidence, she and her lawyers said so repeatedly. Republican senators admit it. Even the reporter who broke the story said it wasn't me or my staff. The president's remarks are ridiculous and an embarrassment."

At a political rally in Iowa on Tuesday, Trump alleged Feinstein leaked the allegation to sink Kavanaugh's confirmation. The crowd chanted "Lock her up!"

Dotard only leads chants of “lock her up” about women. He never chants “lock him up”. Strong women scare the shit out of him.

They attack and attack and attack. They will repeat this 10,000 times.

Trump will fire Rosenstein and Mueller. Then they will attack them and threaten them with jail. If Republicans pick up Senate seats (which is quite possible), they will be emboldened to go even further.

It is going to get worse. Just listen to them. Listen to what they are saying. We are the enemy of the country. We are a dangerous mob. We should be shut up and put in jail. This isn't coming from cranks on the corner sidewalk. It is coming from the highest levels of the Republican party.

It’s the classic authoritarian desire to be able silence all opposition. Any one of his crazies are capable of carrying out the calls and could physically attempt to harm the Senator.
This is dangerous.
