I don't know who he was or who he was speaking to. I thought it was like a small group of supporters, but I could be mistaken.

No originality only vulgarity.

ONLY the republicans would think that making a joke about sexual assault on Supreme Court Judge Ruth Bader Ginsburg would be amusing.

to have Orin Hatch (84 yrs. old) and Chuck Grassley (85 yrs. old) sit in judgement of the woman accusing Kavanaugh of being a disgusting, groping, attempted rapist? Do you really want to play the age game, RepubliCANTS?
