    Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell blasted Senate Democrats for what he called a “smear campaign” launched at Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, and vowed the full Senate would vote on his nomination “in the near future.”https://n.pr/2zqx1yd

        A visibly angry McConnell launched a tirade on the Senate floor directed at Democrats, whose behavior he called “despicable.”

        McConnell maintained the Democrats leaked information about an alleged sexual misconduct incident to The New Yorker instead of reporting any claims to the Senate Judiciary Committee.https://bit.ly/2Q1nkvT

        The committee is already conducting a probe on an allegation from a woman that Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her in the 1980s.

        McConnell said that other witnesses contacted by Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley have not corroborated the story of Christine Blasey Ford, who will testify along with Kavanaugh, about the accusations at a Thursday hearing.https://n.pr/2OPQPAj

        Kavanaugh has repeatedly denied the allegations. Ford sent Grassley a letter over the weekend saying she has received death threats since she went public but added, “my fear will not hold me back from testifying and you will be provided with answers to all of your questions.”

        The committee’s role is to listen to Dr. Fords account and the nominees account. Further investigation is needed and then make a determination. The senators rant proves he is not position to serve on the committee.

        After listening to McConnell, why should Ford even go through with the interview? @SenMajLdr has already made up his mind. HE is the disgrace. #DoYourJob

        Does he mean outstanding in being able to limit it at 2 accusers to @realDonaldTrump’s 11? Is this some weird sexual assault bingo these guys play?

        My point was at least their was some evidence to argue about. In both these cases with Kavanaugh there is no evidence. Just here say.

        Look at Kavanaugh and Judge’s #Georgetown #Prep year book pages. I had to look the words up but I can’t believe this was a #Catholic school!

        Whining about a "smear campaign" is what you do when you can't say, "these allegations are not true."
