Trump Repeatedly Wrong on Ford's Testimony - Factcheck.org

By Eugene Kiely, Robert Farley and Lori Robertson

Posted on October 4, 2018

Speaking to supporters in Mississippi, President Donald Trump made a series of false statements about Christine Blasey Ford’s 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 Ford’s memory of the event, the president wrongly quoted her as saying, “I had one beer, that’s 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).

Trump’s 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 Kavanaugh’s accuser.

I don't know what purpose it would serve, really...just novelty I guess. It would probably be a pretty quiet alert system; unlikely to ever actually be used. That fucker seems to lie about everything as a matter of principle.

Trump can outright lie and bullshit all he wants to his base. As long as the opposition loses, they are happy to support him.
