President Donald Trump spoke with reporters Wednesday about professor Christine Blasey Ford’s request to delay the Senate hearing, heaping sympathy upon her alleged attacker, Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.
“This is a very tough thing for him and his family,” Trump said of Kavanaugh. “And we want to get it over with. At the same time, we want to give tremendous amounts of time. If [Blasey Ford] shows up, that would be wonderful. If she doesn’t show up, that would be unfortunate.”
Blasey Ford is pushing for the Senate hearing scheduled for Monday to be delayed until an FBI investigation can be conducted on her allegation to try to product herself against further partisan attacks.
Senate Judiciary Committee chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) has denied the request.

No mention of Ford as victim, death threats aren’t rough enough for manly Donald, but rumors of sexual misbehavior are, eh?
Show Trump’s attention span: Tremendous time = one week. Oy.
Ford’s lawyer needs to start quoting the Don
Kavanaugh is the “alleged accuser”? I thought he was alleged to have committed sexual assault.
Now I’m beginning to wonder if Flake et al. knew all along that she wasn’t yet ready to do this big public spectacle. (Imagine how anyone would feel.) So he has it both ways—he demanded a public hearing, but oh well, he tried.
“Tremendous amounts of time”— does he know how tremendously stupid he sounds? A rhetorical question of course.
And do you notice how he never says Blasey Ford’s name? I don’t think this is some strategy to dehumanize her. It’s that he doesn’t know or can’t remember what her name is.
Once again those in the “so called” Moderate GOP prove that they are all pieces of shit:
AND a host of others
