Top Dem compares Kavanaugh to disgraced Hollywood producer Weinstein
The Hill ^ | 9‎/‎26‎/‎2018 | Julia Manchester

Posted on 09/27/2018 10:02:27 AM PDT by detective

The ranking Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, Rep. Jerrold Nadler (N.Y.), on Wednesday compared the "pattern" of allegations against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh to those faced by disgraced Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein.

"These allegations should be thoroughly investigated, and they have credibility," Nadler told Hill.TV's Krystal Ball and Buck Sexton. His comments follow a third woman coming forward to accuse Kavanaugh of sexual misconduct.

"The specific reason they have credibility is that they fit the pattern, and the pattern is that when you find someone like a Harvey Weinstein or someone else who's very respected and powerful ... and is suddenly accused of sexually exploiting women, first one person comes forward, and then another, and then the dam breaks, and you find a number of women coming forward," he continued.

That is one of the good things here. Trump is stubborn, angry, fighting back, and loyal. He values loyalty, so he is giving it.

Kavanaugh appears to be willing to tough it it no matter what. The good thing is that the claims become more and more outlandish each day.

I really believe they expected him or Trump to cut and run. Instead, they have dug foxholes and stacked ammunition.

I compare Kavanauagh to Justice Thomas. It is a replay of Thomas verses Hill.

At the risk of sounding racist (reverse racist?), there is a slight difference.

Clarence Thomas was given the kid glove treatment because he was black. The media stressed that race had nothing to do with the sex charges.

Here it's because Kavanaugh is a conservative white male that every neurotic female in town is frothing at the mouth. The media has played up the "dangerous culture" of white male privilege at Yale, etc.

I know this fat, lying scumbag.

He’s a dirt bag, and anything he spouts should be judged accordingly.

Period.

BTW, believe it or not, he’s got a twin brother!!

That is what they are trying to do. Dri- by drip, pull a bill Cosby or Weinstein level abuse of women out of a guy who clearly is not a serial predator permitted by fame.

The new catch word... “credibility”. I don’t think these people understand the meaning.

I don’t recall Nadler having any issues with Clinton’s behavior with Willey, Jones, Broderick, etc. he’s been around that long. same as Schumer and many other demholes.

Where are Weinstein’s supporters. Maybe with Finestein? How’s your private history, accuser? Would you be measured with the same scrutiny as the judge? After all you are higher than most citizens.

The problem is that Weinstein was an active playah up until a few months ago.

I get madder and madder reading these things. Leftists, no exceptions, are totally amoral SCUMBAGS. All of them. Top to bottom.

The really crazy thing is the demonrats don't care how many mortal enemies they made today but they will. The really will care one day.

What proven pattern??? Even if true, when Kavanaugh was a youth??? The Dims are nuts and the sheeple are idiots to listen to them.

This is the beginning of a civil war to start in November and if GOP grass roots are going to sit on their hands and leave it to GOP officials, then that base will derserve the disaster they get.

The call should not be surrender, but “we have only begun to fight”.

Typical Bush RINO appeasement. Bushes only attack conservatives.
