Speaking to supporters in Mississippi, President Donald Trump made a series of false statements about Christine Blasey Fords sworn testimony about an alleged sexual assault.
Ford told the Senate Judiciary Committee that Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh assaulted her when the two were in high school 36 years ago. In mocking Fords memory of the event, the president wrongly quoted her as saying, I had one beer, thats the only thing I remember. But Ford provided many details of the alleged attack.
Specifically, Trump falsely claimed that, during her Sept. 27 testimony, Ford did not know what year the alleged attack occurred (she said the summer of 1982), whether the alleged attack happened upstairs or downstairs (she said in a bedroom upstairs) and the neighborhood where it occurred (she said in the Bethesda area).
Trumps remarks came at a Make America Great Again rally in Southaven, Mississippi. The president accused the Democrats of trying to destroy Judge Kavanaugh since the very first second he was announced, and then he went on to make a series of false claims about Kavanaughs accuser.
