Senate Republicans Seek To Delay Kavanaugh Vote Until Accuser Properly Smeared
WASHINGTONIn the wake of the release of a letter implicating the Supreme Court nominee in a sexual assault, Senate Republicans told reporters Monday that they would seek to delay a vote on Brett Kavanaughs confirmation until his accuser, Christine Blasey Ford, was properly smeared.
Given the significance of this vote and the accusations at hand, its of the utmost importance that we give ourselves the time to carefully drag Miss Fords name through the mud and make her regret ever coming forth with these accounts, said Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), stressing that he would urge his colleagues to push back any vote on the nomination until the Senate Judiciary Committee had taken every opportunity to tear apart Fords character on a national stage, question her mental stability, and repeatedly trivialize her experience of sexual trauma.
We cant in good conscience confirm Judge Kavanaughto the highest court in the land, mind youwithout making a serious attempt to find evidence from the accusers life suggesting shes nothing more than a serial liar and attention seeker. If not just to slander her name, than at least to invalidate the experiences of every sexual assault victim in the country.
McConnell stressed that he understood the need for swiftness in the matter, as the Senate would absolutely confirm Kavanaugh regardless of any findings.
