Trump additionally called charges of sexual offense and strike “lies,” hours subsequent to rejecting those equivalent allegations as “a fabrication set up by the Democrats.”

Trump just said "On behalf of our nation, I want to apologize to Brett and the entire Kavanaugh family for the terrible pain and suffering you have been forced to endure." Well on behalf of humankind I want to apologize for Trump belittling a sexual assault victim ti get laughs

Trump, incredibly, starts Kavanaugh’s swearing in by apologizing to him. America’s women don’t count. And Trump’s claim that Kavanaugh was “proven innocent” by a process that didn’t involve a trial let alone a full investigation, is at odds with every precept of American justice.

At the White House swearing-in, Trump obscenely made the occasion a purely partisan one with his ludicrous claim that Justice Kavanaugh had been “proven innocent” and his misogynistic apology for the Senate’s even having listened to Dr. Blasey Ford.

Wow. #Trump apologizes to #Kavanaugh and his family during the swearing in. And thanks the odious #MitchMcConnell for ramming Kavanaugh down our throats, PLUS everyone in the GOP cabal that enabled him.

I don’t care what your politics you know the Kavanaugh nomination process was bookended by 2 speeches Kavanaugh gave at the White House in front of Donald Trump where he pathetically sucked up to Donald Trump & lied about Donald Trump & you saw it. Brett Kavanaugh is disgusting.

Trump: “On behalf of our nation I want to apologize to Brett for the terrible pain & suffering you’ve been forced to endure.”
You don’t speak for me @realDonaldTrump. My sympathy is w/ Dr. Ford—not the accused sexual predator that you put on the Supreme Court to do your bidding.
