''The Kavanaugh apple doesn't fall far from the Trump tree.''



He’s absolutely a Trump kind of guy — a confirmed truth-trimmer who, once he makes it to the Supreme Court, is prepared to cast a vote against women’s rights. With the sexual misconduct allegation, Kavanaugh looks even more like a mini-Trump.


Kavanaugh’s denials, so far, are meaningless and echo the Trump playbook. As reported in Bob Woodward’s new book, “Fear,” Trump told an unnamed friend who faced accusations of misconduct, “You’ve got to deny, deny, deny and push back on these women. If you admit to anything and any culpability, then you’re dead.” Trump has done that with every woman who accused him of assault or other inappropriate conduct. And Kavanaugh, too, is denying everything. “I have never done anything like what the accuser describes — to her or to anyone. Because this never happened, I had no idea who was making this accusation until she identified herself yesterday,” he said in response to Ford’s allegations.

What member of the Senate Judiciary Committee wants to bet he’s telling the truth? Those lawmakers know better than the average person just how much truth this nominee for the highest court in the land has fudged.


For that, Kavanaugh has only himself to blame. His little lies are catching up with him.

"When it comes to truth, deny, deny deny." - Dirty Donny (R)

Generations of republican children are growing up thinking this is The Way (R). Disgusting.
