BRETT KAVANAUGH/RALLY/SEX ABUSE/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT/WOMEN: “President Donald Trump shifted his tone on Tuesday [10-2-18] evening and launched into his fiercest attack yet against Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, the California professor whose allegation of sexual assault by Judge Brett Kavanaugh kick-started the FBI’s weeklong investigation of the Supreme Court nominee. During an extended sequence at his ‘Make America Great Again’ rally in Southaven, Miss., Trump mocked Ford’s testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee last week, when she described how Kavanaugh allegedly tried to drunkenly force himself on her at a house party in suburban Maryland in the 1980s, when they were both in high school…At the rally on Tuesday night, the president criticized another of Kavanaugh’s accusers, Julie Swetnick, who alleges that the federal judge took part in plying women with alcohol and drugs, without their knowledge, at house parties in the Washington area in the early 1980s. Swetnick claims that Kavanaugh and his friend Mark Judge were present at one such gathering where she was raped by multiple boys.”
