Kavanaugh demands Supreme Court seat after more assault allegations

By Oliver Willis - September 24, 2018

Brett Kavanaugh faces multiple allegations of sexual assault, but he's demanding confirmation to the Supreme Court anyway.

Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh has now been accused of sexual assault by multiple women, but he’s not apologizing or withdrawing. instead, he’s demanding senators vote to confirm him immediately.

In a letter to Sens. Charles Grassley (R-IA) and Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), Kavanaugh complains about the allegations of assault from Dr. Christine Blasey Ford and lewd exposure from Deborah Ramirez, dismissing them as nothing more than a “frenzy to come up with something” to prevent a vote on his nomination.

Kavanaugh even goes so far to say that accusations against him “debase our public discourse.”

Kavanaugh does not merely defend himself in his letter; he claims the allegations against him are a “threat to any man or woman who wishes to serve our country.”

And if he is not confirmed because senators believe his accusers, rather than his denials, there will be serious consequences.
