Kavanaugh survived Dem attacks, Trump’s big mouth

- Michael Reagan

The Kavanaugh Nightmare is over. For almost three weeks Judge Brett Kavanaugh - a good father, a good man, a brilliant conservati­ve legal jurist - had his reputation permanentl­y trashed and dragged through the mud by Democrats and their willing accomplice­s in the liberal media.

No political charge or fake allegation was too slimy for the Dem- ocrats, whowere never going to vote to confirm Judge Kavanaugh.

They were interested only in destroying his life and keeping the Supreme Court’s ninth seat open until they got back in power in the Senate.

The Democrats have presented the whole country with a primetime example of how their politics of personal destructio­n works.

Anything wrong you ever said, wrote or did all the way back to grade school is now eligible for a public smearing by the Democrats and the liberal media.

After what happened to Kavanaugh, why would any conservati­ve ever want to be appointed to anything?

I’ve lied in my lifetime. Is my life going to be ruined?

I kissed Connie Frieberg in my backyard. She was 8-years-old and I was 8-years-old.

What does that mean today under the Democrats’ new rules? Was that a sexual assault?

I also confess that I drank beer in high school, went to boygirl parties and played drinking games in college.

Those things have been a rite of passage for American boys - and girls - forever.

But if you’re a Republican, the Democrats have now redefined them as crimes or proof that deep-down you are a bad adult.

I feel very sorry for Judge Kavanaugh and his family and the hell the Democrats put them through.

It’s a shameful chapter in American politics that made what happened to Judge Robert Bork and Clarence Thomas look like a PTA meeting.

Democrats were morally and politicall­y wrong for smearing Kavanaugh as a serial rapist and a teen-age drunk.

But President Trump was equally as wrong for making fun of Kavanaugh’s accuser, professor Christine Blasey Ford, at a rally in West Virginia.

Whether or not Ford was telling the truth about being sexually assaulted by Kavanaugh in high school, it was not up to the president to publicly knock her. It was also not very smart. A lot of people in this world have been sexually assaulted or raped, both male and female, and many of them were offended when President Trump mocked Ford. He doesn’t knowwhen to keep his mouth shut.
