Trump: Kavanaugh 'is not a man that deserves this'

Source: Politico



By POLITICO STAFF 09/18/2018 03:14 PM EDT

President Donald Trump said Tuesday that Brett Kavanaugh "is not a man that deserves" to be facing a sexual assault allegation at this point in his confirmation process, saying that he feels "so badly" for his Supreme Court nominee.

"I feel so badly for him that he's going through this, to be honest with you," Trump said during a press conference with Polish President Andrzej Duda. "I feel so badly for him. This is not a man that deserves this."

Christine Blasey Ford has accused Kavanaugh of assaulting her when they were both in high school. The judge has denied the allegation.

he be asked to recuse in ALL cases involving the president who is in known jeopardy at this time? Even more so that some of the legal jeopardy involves sexual assault?

Correct English would be, "I feel bad." Saying "I feel badly" is like saying "I feel happily." Why doesn't somebody in the WH fix this? He says this all the time!

this is the best you will get from the orange asshole regarding him admitting that he fucked up.

he, as always, blames others.

once he pulls him, he will them promptly, within a few hours, throw kananaugh under the bus.

more over, when was the last time the orange asshole "felt badly" about anyone other than himself?

psychopaths don't do empathy.

he's full of shit and will pull him.

An appointment by Donald Trump is not what it's cracked up to be. How many in Trump's cabinet have quit good jobs only to wish they could go back.

Perhaps the best word for Kavanaugh is that he feels violated.

And not one ounce of compassion for victims of natural disasters, rape, child abuse, racial inequality or social injustice.

He is such a disgusting excuse of a human being.
