September 21, 2018: The President Insults Another Family

 

9/21/18: We know President Trump never believes women who say they were sexually abused. Now, with accusers coming out to say that U.S. Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh was guilty of abusive behavior in his youth, Trump can’t resist commenting. 

 

Trump says Kavanaugh accuser, 15, should have called F.B.I. 

On Fox News he weighs in on the story told by Dr. Christine Blasey Ford. Ford says, when she was 15, and Kavanaugh was 17, he attacked her at a party. He and a friend, Mark Judge, had been drinking heavily and dragged her into a bedroom, locked the door, turned on loud music to muffle her protests, and then Kavanaugh held her down and tried to take off her clothes. 

Trump now says the girl should have called the F.B.I. back in 1982. “You say, why didn’t somebody call the FBI 36 years ago? I mean, you could also say, when did this all happen? What’s going on?” 

The president is apparently too dumb to know this would be a local matter to be handled by local police.

 

Today, he tweets out a backhanded slap at her parents. Either the attack she describes wasn’t so bad or her mother and father failed to defend their daughter. “I have no doubt that, if the attack on Dr. Ford was as bad as she says,” he says, “charges would have been immediately filed with local Law Enforcement Authorities by either her or her loving parents. I ask that she bring those filings forward so that we can learn date, time, and place!” 

(One is reminded of Trump’s July 2016 attack on the Khan family, particularly the Gold Star mother.)



Local police would have handled any complaint, not the FBI.

Example: Springfield, Ohio officers.
