Trump, who called Christine Blasey "very credible" in the wake of her Senate testimony, today says the allegations were a "hoax." He provides no evidence or proof of this shocking claim that runs counter to several of Ford's statements, supported by her husband and friends.https://twitter.com/TasneemN/status/1049317713670299651 …

In the wake of Trump calling the allegations against Kavanaugh a "hoax," Kavanaugh is slated to attend a White House swearing-in ceremony, with Trump participating this evening. It's not clear who is to perform the swearing-in itself at the event.pic.twitter.com/LYNUa2Xz2H

This is a very small point, but the White House swearing-in ceremonies really irk me. It's fine for a nominee to attend the White House announcement, but once they are confirmed, they are part of a separate branch of government. The swearing-in at the WH feels very partisan to me

Obama had receptions after the confirmation, which could be criticized on similar grounds. By doing an actual swearing-in at the White House, I do think that, at the least, it adds another element of intertwining the branches that is subject to criticism.

And, as noted in the later thread on the actual event, a portion of Trump’s speech itself is also subject to criticism.
