President Donald Trump claimed in a Wednesday evening press conference that Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh is facing “false accusations in some cases.”

The line came when Trump was asked if he believes that the three women who have come forward with sexual misconduct allegations against Kavanaugh are lying.

“I won’t get into that game,” Trump replied, before praising Kavanaugh and claiming that at least some of the accusations are false.

  1. “In some cases?”

    WTF!

    Was he coached by Giuliani to say that?

  2. Big Fat Con Job.

    He’s describing himself. And parts of himself.

  3. And some are true?

  4. And Acquisitions. Just like Giuliani says it, with a lisp.

  5. I’ve just read Blasey Ford’s statement, prepared for the SJC.

    I am utterly disgusted at Donald Trump’s assertion that ‘these are false accusations in certain cases’.

    I simply don’t understand how a democratic and supposedly law governed society can tolerate a head of state who says such things.
