If Republicans give in to Democrat dirty-tricks, media misinformation, last-second garbage and Michael Avenatti, they will deserve every single thing they get.
Our caretaker junior Senator Doug Jones is not a senator if we aren’t told all the allegations against Roy Moore were “credible,” as long as credible means they all said the same thing. The only evidence that exists was a yearbook, which has a questionable veracity, to be kind.
But that is over. It worked, so it is now the standard.
Here are the “credible’ allegations against Brett Kavanaugh:
1. He attempted to rape a woman at a high school party in 1982.
Three of those people, PJ Smyth, Mark Judge and Kavanaugh, have already denied any recollection of attending such a party.
On Saturday night, Leland Ingham Keyser, a classmate of Ford’s at the all-girl Holton-Arms School and her final named witness, denied any recollection of attending a party with Brett Kavanaugh.
“Simply put, Ms. Keyser does not know Mr. Kavanaugh and she has no recollection of ever being at a party or gathering where he was present, with, or without, Dr. Ford,” lawyer Howard J. Walsh said in a statement sent to the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Doesn’t seem very credible to me.
2. He shoved his penis in the face of a woman at Yale in 1984.
In a statement, two of those male classmates who Ramirez alleged were involved in the incident, the wife of a third male student she said was involved, and three other classmates, Dino Ewing, Louisa Garry and Dan Murphy, disputed Ramirez’s account of events in a statement.
The statement read, “We were the people closest to Brett Kavanaugh during his first year at Yale. He was a roommate to some of us, and we spent a great deal of time with him, including in the dorm where this incident allegedly took place. Some of us were also friends with Debbie Ramirez during and after her time at Yale. We can say with confidence that if the incident Debbie alleges ever occurred, we would have seen or heard about it—and we did not. The behavior she describes would be completely out of character for Brett. In addition, some of us knew Debbie long after Yale, and she never described this incident until Brett’s Supreme Court nomination was pending. Editors from the New Yorker contacted some of us because we are the people who would know the truth, and we told them that we never saw or heard about this.”
That’s from the end of the story that has started round two of this.
Doesn’t seem very credible, but we keep calling it “credible.”
There is no evidence any of this happened, but no one seems to care.
If Republicans allow this to derail this confirmation barring any real evidence, the Democrats will never have to win another election.
The media has declared that all would be well if Republicans would just nominate another conservative. They know there is no way to do that before the midterms, and they also know they will fight that nominee tooth-and-nail.
This is it folks, Kavanaugh or nothing.
The media and Democrats know it, Republicans know it, too.
Republicans have to make a stand here unless real and credible accusations come forward.
If Republicans give in on this with these weak accusations, any accusation kills a nominee and it will continue to be weaponized.
