Republican governor says Kavanaugh allegations 'sickening,' calls on Senate to postpone vote

One of the country's most popular Republican governors on Thursday called for an independent investigation into the allegations made against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh and said the Senate should hold off on a vote.

Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker made the comments as Professor Christine Blasey Ford testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee that Kavanaugh sexually and physically assaulted here.

"The accusations brought against Judge Kavanaugh are sickening and deserve an independent investigation," Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker tweeted. "There should be no vote in the Senate."

Baker, who faces re-election this November, is one of only a few Republican governors, all political moderates, to express dissatisfaction with the committee's handling of the allegations made against Kavanaugh. In July, Baker was one of three Republican governors, along with Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan and Vermont Gov. Phil Scott, to not sign a letter to Senate leaders offering support for Kavanaugh's nomination.

In an interview with the Burlington Free Press, Vermont's Republican governor encouraged senators to conduct a full investigation and "take your time."(continued)

I remember when Governor Palin was the GOP’s most popular Governor and of course CNN wouldn’t have ever used such a headline for her opinion even prior to McCain.

He’s right, you know. Mere allegations should be enough to destroy a person.

By the way, back when Gov. Baker was in college he used to hit little kittens with a wiffle ball bat. And he did it just for fun! I know this for a fact because a friend of mine heard someone talking about it on a bus.

I therefore call on Gov. Baker to resign.

Baker is a turncoat, traitorous RINO. Fie on him and his opinions...nothing but a Massachusetts liberal in disguise as a conservative. He’s about as conservative and trustworthy as was Ted Kennedy.

I can’t take credit for the following, but it was so good it needed to be repeated:

“This just in- Judge Kavanaugh was caught naked in the presence of two nurses... on the day of his birth.”

GOP Governor of a Liberal state playing to his home state constituents hoping they will not throw him out in the next election.

Why is it that the accuser is always credible to the likes of that governor? Are they that stupid that they do not see the agenda in this whole affair.

Grassley should have made the hearing a closed hearing. Senate hearings televised are nothing more or less than Soviet style show trials designed for political grandstanding BECAUSE the politicians know the cameras are on them and they want to play to peoples’ emotions, not any real facts.

Is Tall Deval Baker come out with the same statement concerning his son. The son that was recently charged with sexual battery after getting caught feeling up a woman on a plane? Taken off the plane in Boston. I personally feel he raised a sickening child .
