Full Misogyny Ahead

You could probably see this coming:

In the hours after a 51-year-old California professor came forward to publicly allege that Judge Brett Kavanaugh tried to sexually assault her while they were in high school, the White House signaled no interest in slowing Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court nomination.

Instead, the President’s team and his allies on and off the Hill began to mount a vigorous defense against the accuser, Christine Blasey Ford, questioning why she had identified herself only now, and framing Kavanaugh’s alleged antics as almost commonplace in nature.

A senior White House official told The Daily Beast that, as of Sunday evening, things are still “full steam ahead” for Kavanaugh. On Friday afternoon, a different White House official confirmed that President Trump had been made aware of the earlier reports involving the Kavanaugh sexual misconduct allegation—reports that did not name the accuser.

The president has told those close to him in recent days that he believes there is a “conspiracy” or organized effort by Democrats to smear Kavanaugh and try to derail the nomination of a “good man.” One Trump confidant said on Sunday that they “can’t imagine that” Ford coming forward will change the president’s position, and that it will far more likely cause Trump to dig in and attack those going after Kavanaugh.

Trump is already being backed up with some names from the fake-moralist bullshit artist nostalgia file:

Ralph Reed, founder of the Faith and Freedom Coalition told The Daily Beast, that the allegations were “spurious” and “false” and “transparently a desperate, last-minute attempt by Senate Democrats to delay the confirmation of one of the most eminently qualified Supreme Court nominees in modern history.”

Ralph Reed? There’s an unpleasant blast from the past. I assume Trump’s PR efforts over the next couple days are going to look like the tanking owner from Major League:

“I’ve never heard of half of these hacks they’ve dug up to defend Kavanaugh and the ones I do know are way past their prime.”

“Most of these guys never had a prime.”

“This guy here is dead.”

“Well CROSS HIM OFF then.”

Does Ed Goddamned Rollins make an appearance? I think you know the answer!

Kudos to the authors of the piece, though, because their response to Reed is priceless:

He did not specify how he determined they were false

That’s how you do it.
