Investigators on the Senate Judiciary Committee are looking into “at least one additional allegation” of misconduct against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, NBC News reported Wednesday. Unnamed sources told NBC News that Kavanaugh denied the new allegation in a phone call with committee investigators Tuesday.
The committee’s Democratic minority, representatives of which were on the call but did not ask any questions, NBC News reported, “wasn’t satisfied by the Republicans’ questions about the incident during the call, calling them cursory, and believed it should be investigated more deeply.”
Per NBC News, an anonymous complaint was sent to Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO) regarding an incident in Washington, D.C. in 1998, several years after the other allegations against Kavanaugh.
According to the sender, NBC News reported, her daughter and others, including Kavanaugh, were leaving a bar when Kavanaugh assaulted one of the women in the group.
“When they left the bar (under the influence of alcohol) they were all shocked when Brett Kavanaugh, shoved her friend up against the wall very aggressively and sexually,” the complaint read, per NBC News. “There were at least four witnesses including my daughter.”
The person who sent the complaint to Gardner, NBC News reported, did not provide any names for the claim, but asserted that the victim herself had chosen to remain anonymous.
“But Trump assured me that none of this would ever come out if I promised to be his puppet.”
As the recently departed (from the broadcast, not from the Earth) Hawk Harrelson would say, “He gone!”
This revolting pig of a man, who has spent his entire life since his teenage years deliberately bringing misery to others in the service of his selfish, despicable ideology, is reaping what he sowed. You know what they say about karma, Kav — it’s a m-f-er. Enjoy spending more time with your family, dickhead — I’m pretty sure they won’t.
It’s now two additional anonymous allegations. At some point, Republicans, the jig will be up, la commedia will be finita, you won’t be able to keep up the everything-is-fine charade any longer. That point is actually long past, except for your posturing. He gets drunk and assaults women, OK? That’s what he does. At some point even the most reality-denying authoritarians have to acknowledge that reality will bite back. It’s biting now. In cartoons, an extremely dumb character will take some time to say “ouch” when bitten, but that time has come, gang.
Well, look on the bright side, Judge Rapey McRapeface: at least tRUmp or Putin, or the Koch brothers, or the Mercers, or whoever it was, paid off your gambling debt!
