Trump calls Kavanaugh allegations a 'hoax set up by the Democrats'

Source: the hill

By Brett Samuels - 10/08/18 11:35 AM EDT

President Trump said Monday that he expects a lot of Democratic voters to support Republican candidates in the upcoming midterms because of how the party's lawmakers handled sexual misconduct allegations against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

"The main base of the Democrats have shifted so far left that we’ll end up being Venezuela. This country would end up being Venezuela. I think a lot of Democrats are going to be voting voting Republican on Nov. 6," Trump told reporters at the White House before departing for a law enforcement event in Florida.

The president seized on the specter raised by some liberals of impeaching Kavanaugh, who was confirmed to the Supreme Court on Saturday after being accused by three women of sexual misconduct and facing questions from Democrats about his judicial temperament.

Trump dismissed the allegations against Kavanaugh — including that he sexually assaulted Christine Blasey Ford when the two were in high school — as "a hoax that was set up by the Democrats."

until Trump completed a 360 around Blassey Ford.
First she was "compelling" according to the President*. Now the assault never happened and she's a liar.

Meanwhile, Mitch is telling war stories about his shading of senate rules.

...of the party whose budget cuts caused Benghazi, then beat up on Hillary Clinton for years to cover their own asses.

This party also did:
Blowjobgate (which Brett Kavanaugh created, incidentally)

Whitewater Gate

Vince Foster’s Murder at Hillary’s Hands

The Comet Ping-Pong Basement Child Sex Slavery Ring

Obama’s Kenyan Birth

Michelle Obama Really Being a Man

Hillary being a lesbian...

Come on. If dragging the other side through the mud caused people to not vote for the offenders, the Senate would have 100 Democrats in it.
