BRETT KAVANAUGH/ME TOO/SEX ABUSE/SUPREME COURT/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “President Donald Trump on Tuesday [10-2-18] said he believes the reaction to the allegations of sexual assault and other misconduct against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh makes it ‘a very scary time for young men in America’…The allegations against Kavanaugh — including sexual assault and exposing himself to a young woman in college — have sparked the latest reckoning in America about sexual assault and men’s treatment of women, bringing the #MeToo movement back to the fore. And while Trump has called Christine Blasey Ford, who testified to Congress that Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her while they were in high school, ‘credible’ and ‘compelling,’ he has continued to support Kavanaugh’s confirmation and emphatically defend his character. Trump’s comments on Tuesday were just the latest instance of the President expressing concern about the public outcry resulting from the allegations against Kavanaugh and the impact on other men.”
