As we speak, conservative Christians are working to discredit the testimony of Dr. Christine Blasey Ford and students from Liberty University are protesting in defense of Brett Kavanaugh.
We know why theyre hell-bent on getting Kavanaugh confirmed to the Supreme Court: He would be a certain fifth vote to overturn abortion rights at the federal level, and no amount of bad behavior in his past is going to shake their conviction that the allegations against him are all part of some giant left-wing conspiracy.
Now we can put some numbers behind how many Americans are looking the other way in spite of the evidence against Kavanaugh. According to a NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll taken last week, 48% of white evangelical Christians say that Kavanaugh should be confirmed to the Supreme Court even if the charge of sexual assault is true.

f that doesnt tell you the depths of their moral depravity, I dont know what does.
(Incidentally, 54% of Republicans said they would vote to confirm Kavanaugh even if he sexually assaulted her. No other sub-group had numbers as high as Republicans and white evangelicals.)
This isnt a question of whether they believe Kavanaugh or Ford. This is a question about how white evangelicals would react even if they accepted Kavanaughs guilt, and the answer for half of them is that it wouldnt make a damn bit of difference. So what if a woman was nearly raped as long as a conservative is placed on the Supreme Court?

No surprise there. They tend to blame the victim for causing harm to the poor man.

Yeah, worth it to outlaw abortion to them. Their religion is about women being subservient to men.

They sold their soul to Orange Mushroom, so logically this would be their position on Drunk 'n' WAH!

Trumpers, Evangelical or not, would support anyone remotely related to Trumpy even if the person in question raped their own grandma after murdering the family pet and burning the house down.
The sickness is real.

(31,261 posts)8. So that 48% are saying that they are ok with their daughters getting raped.
Because if Kavanaugh had gotten off her swimsuit, he and Mark Judge would have raped Mrs. Ford when she was 15.
