They only performed like they were unsure.

As I said in a thread that I started and was lambasted, republicans do not care about the sexual assault issue. They feel as though there is not political blowback. Americans voted for a sex offender for President.


Based on those Kavanaugh hearings, I donated $50 to Gillum and Nelson. Again, the sexual assault is terrible, but the dystopian society that Kavanaugh will help create is a separate issue on it's on. Those issues are not being discussed, though. Here, there is no room for no other discussion.
