Third Kavanaugh Accuser Julie Swetnick: He Doesn't Belong on Supreme Court

Source: The Daily Beast


The third woman to publicly accuse Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual misconduct has spoken on camera for the first time since going public, and says she doesn’t think Kavanaugh “belongs” on the Supreme Court based on her experiences. The brief clip saw MSNBC’s John Heilemann question accuser Julie Swetnick for his Showtime series The Circus. “Brett Kavanaugh is going for a seat where he’s going to have that seat on the Supreme Court for the rest of his life,” she said. “If he’s going to have that seat legitimately, all of these things should be investigated. From what I experienced firsthand, I don’t think he belongs on the Supreme Court. I just want the facts to come out and I want it to be just and I want the American people to have those facts and judge for themselves.” She went on to say she didn’t want the accusation to come out a day before fellow accuser Christine Blasey Ford testified before the Senate Judiciary panel, saying: “Circumstances brought it out that way.”

Will be facing an even greater wave of opposition , and be voted out of office ASAP , because women ,and men, are done with helping them promote known predators of women , and have hurt them . This is only inciting a lot more women , and men , to oppose them any way they can moving forward. Trump and the gop have done this to themselves, and will suffer from their own incompetence for trump and their nominees, and corruption going on now for self protection with kavanaugh. Many gop Senators will be badly effected from this going on now, and it will not be pretty as they are voted out of office maybe real soon.

Encouraging, better than I was afraid of considering that worrisome, more-sensational-than-precise statement produced under Avenotti's guidance.
