Can you imagine how sick you would feel to have your high school friends call you a liar without hearing what you said or knowing who you are, just because of who you were saying it about? https://twitter.com/chrisgeidner/status/1040673623181340672 …

          Strange how Grassley had 65 women already lined up to provide cover. Grassley knew about this allegation or there are others they are hiding and this one got through.

          LOL this is ridiculous. The whole @GOP knew that Kavanaugh was a high school rapist, still supports him. I guess being card-carrying Neo-Nazis and a Kremlin propagandists isn't enough for the @HouseGOP and the @SenateGOP
