President Donald Trump openly mocked Christine Blasey Ford’s Senate
testimony and the broader Me Too movement against sexual assault Tuesday
night at his rally in Southaven, Mississippi.

In an angry rant, Trump blatantly doubted professor Blasey’s accusations
against his Supreme Court nominee, Judge Brett Kavanaugh, as his
supporters chanted, “We want Kavanaugh!”

“So many different charges,” Trump said of Kavanaugh. “Guilty until proven
innocent .... That’s very dangerous for our country. I have it myself all
the time. Let it happen to me. Shouldn’t happen to him.”

“What he’s going through, 36 years ago this happened,” the president
added, referencing Blasey’s testimony at last week’s Senate Judiciary
Committee hearing in which she claimed Kavanaugh attacked her when they
were teenagers.

Trump then mocked Blasey directly:

“I had one beer, right? I had one beer! How did you get home? I don’t
remember. How’d you get there? I don’t remember. Where’s the place? I
don’t remember. ...

“Upstairs, downstairs, I don’t know. But I had one beer. That’s the only
thing I remember.”

Blasey, 51, gave emotional testimony on Thursday, recalling the details of
the night she claims Kavanaugh drunkenly held her down and tried to
forcibly remove her clothes at a gathering in the 1980s.

While Blasey couldn’t recall certain details, such as the house’s exact
location or how she got home, she did remember Kavanaugh and his friend’s
“uproarious laughter between the two, and their having fun at my expense.”

Blasey is the first of three women who have publicly accused Kavanaugh of
sexual misconduct. In the weeks that followed Blasey’s allegation, Deborah
Ramirez accused Kavanaugh of thrusting his penis in her face while they
were at a party as undergraduates in college. Julie Swetnick has accused
him of being present during a “gang rape” at a party in 1982.

Trump on Tuesday defended Kavanaugh’s reputation and argued that Kavanaugh
? and men in general ? were the real victims.

“A man’s life is shattered,” Trump said of the judge.

“They destroy people,” he later added, referring to Democrats who support
the accusations made by survivors of sexual assault. “These are really
evil people.”

During the rant against Kavanaugh’s accusers, Trump spoke more broadly
about men who are being accused of sexual harassment and violence and
blamed Democrats for the movement against the harassment.

“It’s a damn sad situation,” he said. “We better start as a country
getting smart and getting tough and not letting that stuff ? right back
there, those cameras ? tell us how to live our lives.”

“Think of your son. Think of your husband,” Trump continued. “I’ve had
many false accusations. I’ve had so many. When I say it didn’t happen,
nobody believes me.”

He later added, “The Democrat Party has become too extreme. And too
dangerous to be trusted with power.”

Blasey’s attorney Michael R. Bromwich called Trump’s speech a “vicious,
vile and soulless attack” on his client.

“Is it any wonder that she was terrified to come forward, and that other
sexual assault survivors are as well,” he tweeted. “She is a remarkable
profile in courage. He is a profile in cowardice.”

In his at times angry testimony on Thursday, Kavanaugh denied the
accusations made against him, presenting his high school calendars as
proof.

Kavanaugh said the allegation was part of a “calculated and orchestrated
political hit, fueled with apparent pent-up anger about President Trump
and the 2016 election, fear that has been unfairly stoked about my
judicial record, revenge on behalf of the Clintons and millions of dollars
in money from outside left-wing opposition groups.”

Donald J. Trump, 304 electoral votes to 227, defeated compulsive liar in
denial Hillary Rodham Clinton on December 19th, 2016. The clown car
parade of the democrat party ran out of gas and got run over by a Trump
truck.

Congratulations President Trump. Thank you for cleaning up the disaster
of the Obama presidency.

Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp.

ObamaCare is a total 100% failure and no lie that can be put forth by its
supporters can dispute that.

Obama jobs, the result of ObamaCare. 12-15 working hours a week at minimum
wage, no benefits and the primary revenue stream for ObamaCare. It can't
be funded with money people don't have, yet liberals lie about how great
it is.

Obama increased total debt from $10 trillion to $20 trillion in the eight
years he was in office, and sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood queer
liberal democrat donors.
