President Donald Trump has now labeled the women who credibly accused Brett Kavanaugh of sexual misconduct, including attempted rape, “evil.” Among them are Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, Deborah Ramirez, and Julie Swetnick.
Kavanaugh is “a great person and it was very unfair what happened to him,” Trump said Monday afternoon while speaking at the International Association of Chiefs of Police annual convention.
“False charges, false accusations, horrible statement that were totally untrue, that he knew nothing about,” Trump insisted. “Frankly terms that he probably never heard in his life. He was this, he was that. He never even heard of these terms.”
The president went on to call it “a disgraceful situation brought about by people that are evil,” but insisted that he and Kavanaugh “toughed it out together.”
