President Donald Trump expressed his sympathy for Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh on Tuesday, saying he “feels so badly” that Kavanaugh is being faced with the repercussions of being accused of sexual assault.
“[He has an] impeccable history in every way. In every way,” Trump said during a joint press conference with Polish President Andrzej Duda. “I feel so badly for him that he is going through this to be honest with you. I feel so badly for him. This is not a man that deserves this.”
Trump did not mention professor Christine Blasey Ford, Kavanaugh’s accuser, still steering clear of his usual inclination to explicitly blame the alleged victim.

Yes, it would have been so much better if this never came out…
dotard on Rob Porter:
Consistently kicks the accusers down the stairs and then deifies the abusers.
Hmmmm…seems to me, I’ve heard this kind of talk before. Now, where was that? (Taps front tooth pensively…)
Oh, yes, indeed. Now I remember!! About Paul Manafort! You know, the convicted felon who’s now flipped on Spankee…
I am starting to think that having a history of treating women like shit is seen as a prerequisite for being a member of this Administration…
Edit: Here is the money quote from the dotard:
"[He has an] impeccable history in every way. In every way,”
Agreed, he is one of the finest political hacks ever selected for the SCOTUS…
I lurv Sen. Hirono:
“I just want to say to the men of this country: Just shut up and step up. Do the right thing for a change.”
