Trump Slams 'Vicious' Kavanaugh Accuser for 'Made Up' Claim

Source: The Daily Beast



President Trump on Saturday lashed out at a woman he described as a “vicious accuser” of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh after the Senate Judiciary Committee said she admitted her sexual assault allegations against him were made up. The president appeared to be reacting to news that the Senate Judiciary Committee referred a woman named Judy Munro-Leighton to the Justice Department after concluding that she was a “left-wing activist” who is “decades older” than Kavanaugh and whose allegations were “materially false.” The claims of Munro-Leighton, who initially identified herself only as "Jane Doe," were barely reported during Kavanaugh's confirmation process, unlike the allegations against him by Christine Blasey Ford. Yet Trump appeared to use the little known accuser’s retraction of her story to cast new doubt on all of Kavanaugh's accusers. “Can you imagine if he didn’t become a Justice of the Supreme Court because of her disgusting False Statements,” Trump wrote, saying she’d admitted that her allegations were “totally made up, or FAKE.” “What about the others? Where are the Dems on this?” he wrote.

another attempt by IT to control the news cycle. I block all tweets, posts and stories that qualify as "click bait" from the bad hair beast.

Not all accusations are true, and everyone deserves due process. Unlike Dr. Ford, who got a sham whitewash.

Like the other actual victims that were not allowed to speak? That you blocked the FBI from investigating?


I hate how easy it is for Republicans, with the help of Fox News, and even the other networks, to take advantage of the one rare mistake, or bad decision by anyone, anywhere perceived to be on our side. Its like they are giddy with excitement at how they finally have some red meat to finally balance out the equivalency of the two parties again.

if the "vicious accuser" is getting swamped with death threats like Ford was and probably still is?
