Trump says he knows a US Senator-on the other side-I've seen that person in a very bad situation

'very aggressive' (says this twice)-then says 'somewhat compromising)--then 'I think it very unfair to bring up things like this-- However...."

I can not find an article on this. I tried listening to the video and catch what Trump was saying. May have missed a few words.
Did Trump just pull this out of his maga hat?? or is there something to this??

GOP must be voted out. How can they continue to allow the lies and corruption.

Well at least now we’ll know, the Democrat senator that votes for Kavanaugh is the one Trump is blackmailing.

Trump pays off women he has harassed and gets them to sign NDAs when he is sober. Trump commits collusion with a foreign government to win an election when sober. Trump cheats students, contractors, and Trump development property owners when sober. Trump steals money from taxpayers for events and stays st his strums properties while he is sober. Trump obstructs justice while sober. Trump tells Yrump junior how to lie to investigators and the Senate while sober.Yrump hold rallies and lies and excites violence when sober...

EVERYONE knows about these things

For one person to win, someone else has to lose. Super awesome characteristic in a U.S. president and world leader. Well, at least these days he's only the U.S. president.

Just making shit up. He's not worthy of being a night manager at a Kwik-E-Mart.

If anybody brings it up again he'll be all magnanimous and merciful and act like he doesn't want to drag someone's name through the mud.

that nobody else has. "We'll be releasing this in two weeks (it's always two weeks for some reason) and when we do it will change everything!"

He never has anything, but the mere threat is supposed to terrify his perceived enemies into stopping doing whatever it is that Trump wants to be stopped.

in order to gain re-election. The constituents can decide if they like their senator's temperament, and vote accordingly.

A member of the SCOTUS is there for life and the only chance they have to answer for any previous life events or personality characteristics is during the nomination process.
