Kavanaugh smear a new low

Though it barely seemed possible, Democrats in Washington have hit a new low with their most-recent antics around Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination to the U.S. Supreme Court.

The Senate Judiciary Committee’s top Democrat, Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California, said in a statement that she notified federal authorities about information she received about Kavanaugh from a source who “strongly requested confidentiality.”

The person “declined to come forward or press the matter further, and I have honored that decision,” Feinstein said. “I have, however, referred the matter to federal investigative authorities.” Feinstein declined to comment beyond the statement.

According to media reports, a woman sent a letter to Democrats alleging sexual misconduct on the part of Kavanaugh while he was in high school.

The woman is not talking to reporters and is not going public with her allegations. In addition, Sen. Feinstein has had the information for months and never mentioned it to other members of the Judiciary Committee or questioned Kavanaugh directly about it.

Further, none of this showed up on any background check done by federal law enforcement during his employment at the White House.

As it stands now, this is simply an attempt to smear a man who had an impeccable reputation in high school. Sixty-five women who knew him then and subsequently have issued a letter saying he has “always treated women with decency and respect.”

Democrats are wildly misbehaving in regard to this nomination and they have been since day one. We, the voters, deserve better.
