GOP Sen. Jeff Flake: Judiciary Committee Must Hear From Kavanaugh Accuser Before Voting

Daily Beast ^

Sen. Jeff Flake (R-AZ) said on Sunday that the Senate Judiciary Committee should pause its consideration of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh until the committee hears more from the woman who has accused him of sexual assault. “For me, we can’t vote until we hear more,” Flake, who sits on the judiciary committee, told The Washington Post.

Earlier Sunday, Christine Blasey Ford went public with her allegation against Kavanaugh, which dated back to their time in high school. Ford alleges that Kavanaugh pinned her down and groped her, then covered her mouth when she tried to scream. Kavanaugh has flatly denied the allegation.

[prophetic]

NOPE - As usual Flake is showing that he’s on the Democrats side and hellbent on curtailing everything that Trump is trying to do good for the country..

[clintonh8r]

Ah, the first douchebag bursts....

[MtnClimber]

The left gobbles lies like a vulture gobbles road kill guts.

[Sarah Barracuda]

And Kavanaugh can’t defend himself against this BS is that what this jackass is saying??

[ProudFossil]

If I had the power I would research the high school sex acts of every Dim on the committee even if I had to fabricate them. Those who had had escapades then would then be forced from the committee as being unfit to serve. No ifs, ands, or buts. Period.

Flake is on the side of whatever causes most pain to Trump.

Jeff Flake, a McCain minion kicking conservatives in the teeth as he goes out the door.

And they wonder why we stick by Trump.

[BenLurkin]

If the ‘Rats wanted her heard they should have called her at the outset

They didn’t. So vote. Confirm. Now

[SuperLuminal]

Just another example of why this useless piece of excrement and classic neverTrump dick head needs to go...

[Trump20162020]

I think people are getting mad over nothing, and leftists giddy over nothing. Grassley is working with Feinstein to set up a phone call with the accuser and Kavanaugh, and whether it happens or not, I think the vote will still happen just fine this Thursday.

[hsmomx3]

I hope the Republicans have the balls to vote and not fall to Flake’s shenanigans.

[alstewartfan]

Every asshole in Alabama who either stayed home or voted for Jones is responsible for this.

[OddLane]

The sooner he’s out of the Senate, the better.

[lastchance]

Aww Hell no! Flake can go chew on high voltage cable.

[sphinx]

If a hearing is needed, Tuesday morning would be fine. She can appear flanked by Kavanaugh and the other man that she claims was in the room 35 years ago right beside her on the same panel. Have it out.

[OddLane]

We'll see.

Personally, I think the vote should be moved up, just to spite these malicious, lying weasels and thwart their last-minute smear job.

[Right-wing Librarian]

LOCK HIM UP

[Huskrrrr]

We should have interviewed the drowning victim at Chappaquiddick. Oh, wait..

[wardaddy]

If Flake switches sides

It’s over
