It doesn’t reflect the mid terms ! Democrats are done! This is the last straw!

Interesting that anyone can come accusing public figure in rape and people would lose their mind. We all know many examples of false accusations that actually ruined people lives. I feel sorry for women who actually suffered. But it's insane to believe every one with no proof.

America's legal system is failing at monumental levels

5 women now coming forward. Limited time to work out the details and yet there is a pattern of drunkenness leading to sexual assault. If you let Kavanaugh be confirmed the world will laugh at you again You will have allowed another sexual abuser in. Do you care?

Judge Roy Moore had 4 accusers before the Senate Election in Alabama. After, he lost the race these accusers disappeared.

Not really. It only effects the media. And how they respond and report.

ConfirmJudgeKavanaughNOW IStandWithBrettKavanaugh 👍⚖️🇺🇸⚖️🇺🇸

Why doesn’t anyone ask Gorsuch about Kavanaugh? Weren’t they both at Georgetown at the same time?

The Democrats already have impacted the midterms by showing the world what nutcases they are! More and more people are walking away daily due to the antics and the lunacy of the left! WalkAway MAGA

You wish-Democrats turned off another 20% of the pop.-Don’t believe those as proven last time-Phony polls

Regardless of whether Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh is confirmed, how lawmakers respond to him and his accuser could impact female voters for decades

It’s really problematic to keep referring to the fact that there are no corroborating witnesses. She puts Judge in the room. Why not get him to testify under oath? I would argue that there’s zero incentive for Judge to “corroborate.” If he was there he’s part of it.

Republican Sen Chuck Grassley & John Cornyn, On Senate Judiciary Committee, Sen Collins Claim "They Want To Hear Dr Christine Ford's Testimony About Brett Kavanaugh & Ask Questions Of Both." 11 Republicans & 10 Democrats on Judiciary Committee Given 5 MINUTES ONLY & 1 ROUND ONLY

Answer: At least some. At this rate, we're going to be pinning the unsolved murders of DC on Kavanaugh just because he was in the city

Sounds like none as the Republican say they are voting friday and he will be in. They love to rush things dont they...... sad state of affairs

Enough beyond reasonable doubt and none of these lying cunts have a shred of evidence against him. This is a politically timed attack, nothing less.

Hell! Can I jump on board too? He slipped me a roffie at some party! And I'm sure he touched me in appropriately!!!!

According to the left: no proof needed

Even if he said that he don it they would vote for him

Ford's testimony is DIRECT EVIDENCE. Is it that hard? (er, let me rephrase that)

They better let the others testify as well. You can't just hear one if there are now multiple!

Lin_ling_88 Wrong question. The correct question is: How many allegations of the same type of egregious/criminal behavior are required before the Senate should call for an an impartial and fair investigation by the FBI?

His lying at the earlier hearing should have ended his nomination right there. Sworn statements regarding gang rape is more than enough

The Dems have said that the burden of proof is on the accused and not the accuser.

IDK. Witness, evidence maybe?

The only thing the Democrats have are baseless accusations that would never stand up in court.

Unfortunately THIS sham of a process is NOT an objective (necessary) Invesigation, it’s called Political Theater. Nothing relevant will be accomplished. Observe the flying monkeys in the Town Square. ALL involved should seek the truth but NOT in this manner.

kristinapet He's got 2 former male roommates that R standing with the women, that's pretty strong evidence 2 me......

About trump

Well since it's not a criminal trial no proof is required. Senators can vote Yes or No for literally any reason.

It is a judgment call for every senator

We have had none so far. This has red-pilled the rest of the Democrats.

I don’t know anything but he said she said bs. Show evidence ppl!

Any proof would do. But, let’s be clear...! Repressed memories are not evidence. How about a calendar? 🤷🏼‍♂️

According to the Left, none. In their minds the truth doesn’t matter. Only the narrative does. God help us if we’ve come from the point of innocent until proven guilty to guilt by allegation

There has not been one single shred of evidence presented by Ford. Ramirez was coerced by Dem shills and says she doesn’t remember much cuz she was so drunk. The one that just came up today is by the creepy porn lawyer. They all have SERIOUS credibility issues. All are liberals.

There isn’t any so far.

You mean, a "hearing over allegations of sexual assault"?

How about get some. first and then ask this question again

This is The GOP Hiding behind a woman's skirts. Are all the beer swilling, gun toting, bible thumping people Proud of these gutless worms. Not enough courage among 11 so called men, to face 1 woman professor.

I dunno, ANY would be a good place to start.

Actual proof - not fabricated allegations. So, now go back and get the actual proof.

This should be enough.

Any would be a start.

None. Nothing. It's a Senate confirmation hearing. Absolutely none of this circus side show matters. Senators vote. And it's done. The same people who would have voted yes two weeks ago are still going to.

Why haven’t one of these alleged victims gone to the police yet to file a report?

Sad but these stories are more common than you think. Women still have far to come on getting respect. I seriously feel like there’s just something wrong with the male psyche from birth. We all know some really good men who made stupid decisions when they were drunk and young.

Judge Kavanaugh could have long ago put this issue to bed, if He also would have taken ah Polygraph...... jus sayin

For some I fear unless there is a video their mind is made up.

Her gofundme payday is already being set up i bet. Her social media has vanished

Brett Kavanaugh Supreme Court nomination: What we know about embattled nominee and accuserThe GOP-led Senate Judiciary Committee delays vote on Supreme Court nominee to allow for testimony by Kavanaugh and his accuser. The nominee is not embattled and the accuser is full of shit. Who took her to the party? Who took her home? Did she tell anyone after the party? Who gave her the illegal booze at the party? The FBI has investigated Kavanagh six times. We know his accuser is a liberal college professor with an ax to grind. And apparently she will not come to Washington to testify in front of Congress without another FBI investigation - Delay tactics by Dems.
