Seth has a couple of things to say to Brett Kavanaugh after he sat down for an interview with Fox News to deny the sexual assault allegations against him.
Klamath Falls, OR— The GOP: They have an ad running. "It never happened." If it never happened why do you need an ad, saying: "It never happened?" Brett Kavanaugh claims he was a virgin.
Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh’s latest defense against two sexual misconduct allegations is that he was a virgin in high school and for “many years thereafter.”
Kavanaugh claimed Monday in a Fox News interview that he couldn’t have sexually assaulted anyone as a teenager because of his virginity. Christine Blasey Ford, who goes by Christine Blasey professionally, has accused him of attacking her at a party more than 35 years ago when they were both in high school.
It should go without saying that virginity does not mean a person is not capable of drunkenly groping another person against her will.
He told Fox News personality Martha MacCallum:
“I went to an all-boys Catholic high school where I was focused on academics and athletics, going to church every Sunday … working on my service projects and friendship — friendship with my fellow classmates and friendship with girls from the local all-girls Catholic schools."
Kavanaugh denied that allegation, explaining that he was a virgin in high school and afterward.
KAVANAUGH: I did not have sexual intercourse or anything close to sexual intercourse in high school or for many years thereafter. And the girls from the schools I went to and I were friends —
MACCALLUM: So you’re saying that through all these years that are in question you were a virgin?
KAVANAUGH: That’s correct.
MACCALLUM: Never had sexual intercourse with anyone in high school?
KAVANAUGH: Correct.
MACCALLUM: And through what years in college, since we’re probing into your personal life here?
KAVANAUGH: Many years after. I’ll leave it at that. Many years after.
Kevin Cramer, a GOP congressman from North Dakota who is running for a Senate seat, tried in an interview with a local news station this week to clarify an earlier statement he made that “nothing happened” in one of the alleged incidents involving Kavanaugh. “My point was there was no type of intercourse or something like that,” he said.
That line of thinking shows how little people know about what constitutes sexual assault in general.
It is important to understand that it is very possible that someone can abstain from sexual intercourse yet still commit a sexual assault.
The result is that GOP is desperate to seat Brett Kavanaugh at any cost to even runing an ad, "It never happened." If it never happened, then why the misleaading ad?
The political machine on the right has kept humming throughout the fallout. Conservative groups have spent millions to boost Kavanaugh, including more than $7 million in advertising and grass-roots activity by the Judicial Crisis Network, a group that does not disclose its donors.
The powerful and well-funded conservative movement has launched into overdrive to rescue the Supreme Court nomination of Brett Kavanaugh, decrying the sexual assault allegations against him as unfounded and warning Republicans that buckling to Democratic pressure would undermine voter enthusiasm weeks before the midterm elections.
“If the Republicans do not get this vote taken and have Kavanaugh confirmed, you can kiss the midterms goodbye,” influential conservative talk-radio host Rush Limbaugh told his listeners this week. That message was amplified Tuesday by Trump, who posted Limbaugh’s remarks on Twitter.
Some GOP voters who months ago agreed with Trump’s prediction of a “red wave” of Republican victories this fall, even as a polls showed Democrats positioned to win back the House majority, are now alarmed.
“They need to just get him confirmed and moved through,” said George Bowles, a 62-year-old Republican in Florida’s Brevard County, which Trump carried by nearly 20 points in 2016.
Bowles also dismissed the allegations against Kavanaugh as a witch hunt against an innocent man: “This is just stupid, stupid, stupid . . . I can’t remember what I was doing 35 years ago. Can you?”
No, not if you are too drunk at the time to remember doing it.
A third woman has come forward to accuse President Donald Trump’s Supreme Court pick, Brett Kavanaugh, of sexual misconduct, according to a statement published on Wednesday by her lawyer Michael Avenatti.
The declaration said she had “observed Brett Kavanaugh drink excessively at these parties and engage in abusive and physically aggressive behavior towards girls, including pressing girls against him without their consent, ‘grinding’ against girls and attempting to remove or shift girls clothing to expose private body parts."
Swetnick said she was at parties where Kavanaugh, and his close friend at the time, Mark Judge, were involved in situations that resulted in women being gang raped. “I witnessed efforts by Mark Judge, Brett Kavanaugh and others to cause girls to become inebriated and disoriented so they could then be ‘gang raped’ in a side room or bedroom by a ‘train’ of numerous boys …"
“In approximately 1982, I became the victim of one of these ‘gang’ or ‘train’ rapes where Mark Judge and Brett Kavanaugh were present."
Swetnick added that: “I attended well over 10 house parties in the Washington DC, area during the years 1981-1983 where Mark Judge and Brett Kavanaugh were present.
“In approximately 1982, I became the victim of one of these ‘gang’ or ‘train’ rapes where Mark Judge and Brett Kavanaugh were present. Shortly after the incident, I shared what had transpired with at least two other people. During this incident, I was incapacitated without my consent and unable to fight off boys raping me. I believe I was drugged using Quaaludes or something similar placed in what I was drinking.”
Judge has disappeared from the public eye in recent weeks. However, the Washington Post tracked him down to a beach house in Bethany Beach, Maryland, where he was apparently staying with a friend.
“How’d you find me?” he told the newspaper’s reporter before declining to comment any further.
