When the President was asked about women in general being angry about the Kavanaugh confirmation, he gave the baffling remark that, instead, women were “extremely happy,” because, “they’re thinking of their husbands and their brothers, their uncles, and others.”
Donald Trump also says he is “a hundred percent” sure that Christine Blasey Ford was incorrect in naming Brett Kavanaugh as her assaulter in comments made on Air Force One. This in the wake of a stunted FBI investigation and several other un-investigated claims were ignored in the run-up to Kavanaugh’s confirmation as Supreme Court Justice.
A majority of Republicans stuck to a widely discredited conspiracy theory that Ford has accused the wrong person, a contention that Ford disputes. Neither Ford nor Kavanaugh were reportedly interviewed in the FBI investigation that was called into the new Supreme Court Justice.
Trump lashed out at Ford at a political rally he held in Kansas, saying that it was necessary for him to do that to, “level the playing field,”
Trump mocked Blasey Ford in the rally, even mimicking her voice to a crowd of laughing supporters.
Trump also claimed that since he mocked Ford, the nomination of Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court “started to sail through.”
