Sarah Huckabee Sanders: Blame Democrats for Lack of Kavanaugh Investigation

Source: The Daily Beast



Press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders says Senate Democrats are to blame for the lack of a comprehensive investigation into the sexual-misconduct allegations against Brett Kavanaugh. The Supreme Court nominee and one of his three accusers, Christine Blasey Ford, will testify in front of a Senate panel today, but President Trump will not order an FBI investigation into the allegations before the vote on him scheduled for Friday morning. Asked why the president won’t postpone the vote and investigate the claims, Sanders told NBC’s Today: “Democrats have known about this. If they wanted to go through a two-month process, why didn’t they bring this up in the middle of Kavanaugh’s hearing? Why didn’t they bring this to light? They knew about it, it’s because they want to play political games. I think if people have any frustration with the pace and the speed then I think they have no place to look other than at the Democrats, who have turned this whole thing into a complete circus.”

In the time the trumpublicans spent threatening and pushing this through as fast as they could -- while waiting for this hearing, one could have been done and completed.

Regardless of the other accusers and witnesses that have come forward, keep in mind that the same committee members agreed to have an FBI investigation for Anita Hill's testimony, but they denied that to Dr Ford.

this point. Amazing isn't it? When things get rough, they run home to Momma (or their mistresses more than likely) and cry / pout. A bunch of wussies if you ask me, that can't take any criticism. None what-so-ever!

Pathetic.

How can you not love people who claim ownership of family values and taking personal responsibility and yet have none and take none. I mean, come on, these people are just the best.

The Democrats did do that, and the Republicans fought them every step of the way. Dianne Feinstein had to drop a bombshell in the committee to get any focus on this. All after other Democrats releasing data that was needlessly sealed to keep the public in the dark about what kind of Judge Kavanaugh is.

"Geesh, if you stupid Democrats had told us to apply the brakes back when we were on the road and we were headed through the guardrail and off a cliff then we Republicans might have been able to apply the brakes, but you waited too long so now it's inconvenient to try to apply the brakes and that's your fault. Of course, there's no reason to even try to hit the brakes now, seriously. I mean we only have eight more feet of grass before the dropoff. Stupid Democrats don't know how to drive. Boy, wait until THEY try and drive us off a cliff, we'll start shouting nonstop about hitting the brakes even before we've gotten to the car."

Yeah, OK Sarah, how many background checks did Mike Flynn, aka "Mr. Awaiting Sentencing" go through in his career?
