Democratic candidates call for Bret Kavanaugh’s impeachment

09/15/2019 Ms. G News, Updates 46

After allegations that Kavanaugh engaged in other acts of sexual misconduct and the FBI and Senate chose to ignore them, Democratic hopefuls have called for his impeachment.

In a tweet, Senator Harris accused Kavanaugh of lying to the US Senate and the American people:

I sat through those hearings. Brett Kavanaugh lied to the U.S. Senate and most importantly to the American people. He was put on the Court through a sham process and his place on the Court is an insult to the pursuit of truth and justice.

He must be impeached.

Beto O’Rourke also tweeted out calls for Kavanaugh to resign:

Yesterday, we learned of another accusation against Brett Kavanaugh—one we didn't find out about before he was confirmed because the Senate forced the F.B.I. to rush its investigation to save his nomination. We know he lied under oath. He should be impeached.

As did Elizabeth Warren and Julián Castro:

Last year the Kavanaugh nomination was rammed through the Senate without a thorough examination of the allegations against him. Confirmation is not exoneration, and these newest revelations are disturbing. Like the man who appointed him, Kavanaugh should be impeached.

It’s more clear than ever that Brett Kavanaugh lied under oath. He should be impeached.

And Congress should review the failure of the Department of Justice to properly investigate the matter. https://t.co/Yg1eh0CkNl

Senator Sanders didn’t specify impeachment as a remedy but did say he supported “any appropriate constitutional mechanism to hold him accountable.”

The revelations today confirm what we already knew: During his hearing, Kavanaugh faced credible accusations and likely lied to Congress. I support any appropriate constitutional mechanism to hold him accountable.

Senator Amy Klobuchar spoke with This Week’s George Stephanopoulos:

Sen. Amy Klobuchar on Justice Brett Kavanaugh: "I strongly opposed him, based on his views on executive power, which will continue to haunt our country, as well as how he behaved, including the allegations that we are hearing more about today" https://t.co/gxl9RihwwF pic.twitter.com/pvjUbSfTS9

She later reminded us what courage looks like:

Of course, Trump had to defend his brother in sexual misconduct by claiming Kavanaugh’s an “innocent man.”

Now the Radical Left Democrats and their Partner, the LameStream Media, are after Brett Kavanaugh again, talking loudly of their favorite word, impeachment. He is an innocent man who has been treated HORRIBLY. Such lies about him. They want to scare him into turning Liberal!

Brett Kavanaugh should start suing people for libel, or the Justice Department should come to his rescue. The lies being told about him are unbelievable. False Accusations without recrimination. When does it stop? They are trying to influence his opinions. Can’t let that happen!
