BRETT KAVANAUGH/ELECTION/RALLY/SEX ABUSE/SUPREME COURT/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT/TRUMP PEOPLE: “U.S. President Donald Trump on Saturday [9-29-18] used the stalled nomination of his Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh as a rallying cry for Republican voters in November congressional elections. At a West Virginia rally, Trump did not say a word about the testimony of university professor Christine Blasey Ford who detailed her sexual assault allegation against Kavanaugh at an extraordinary hearing on Thursday [9-27-18]. After that hearing, Trump bowed to pressure from moderate Senate Republicans and ordered the Federal Bureau of Investigation to further investigate. Trump told supporters, who packed a hockey rink to the rafters for a raucous and freewheeling speech, that the delay showed why they need to vote against ‘mean and nasty and untruthful’ Democrats in the Nov. 6 midterms.”
