trump LOSING: Twitter Users Burn Sarah Sanders After She Says Every Supreme Court Nominee Deserves A Vote; Remember Merrick Garland YOU LYING BIATCH? 09/25/2018 12:36 pm ET By David Moye huffingtonpost.com White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders thinks Brett Kavanaugh, President Donald Trump’s Supreme Court nominee, is getting a raw deal ? and is willing to ignore history to support her case. Sanders appeared on “Fox & Friends” Tuesday to lobby for the Senate to vote on Kavanaugh, who has become embroiled in allegations of sexual misconduct. Sanders claimed that previous nominees didn’t have a problem getting votes shortly after their hearings. “The president wants this process to come to a vote because that’s what’s supposed to happen,” she said. “In every single one of these instances where someone is nominated, they go before, they have a hearing and then the senators vote on it.” Fox News ?@FoxNews . @PressSec: “The president wants this process to come to a vote because that’s what’s supposed to happen in every single one of these instances where someone is nominated, they go before, they have a hearing, and then the senators vote on it.” @foxandfriends 5:11 AM - Sep 25, 2018 3,521 4,768 people are talking about this Twitter Ads info and privacy Of course, Sanders’ lament ignores the fact that Republicans denied a hearing and a vote to President Barack Obama’s Supreme Court nominee Merrick Garland in 2016. The GOP’s argument at the time was that since Obama only had one year left in office, the next president had a right to fill the court seat. Twitter users, including at least one Libertarian congressional candidate, were happy to jog Sanders’ memory: Stevan Porter ?@Porter4Us US House candidate, VA-11 Replying to @FoxNews and 2 others Ummm ... sorta walked into that one. The Senate certainly had the right to not confirm Garland (for any reason including purely political ones) but not giving him a hearing was yet another break with tradition and not a good one. 5:17 AM - Sep 25, 2018 926 182 people are talking about this Twitter Ads info and privacy Chris Pierdominici@nhmtnbkr1 Replying to @FoxNews and 2 others Oh, like what the seditious @GOP did with say, Merrick Garland? Hypocrite much Sarah Sanders? It’s staggering how the @GOP expects to be treated in ways it won’t treat others.

The seat sat empty for over 400 days. There's no reason why #Kavanaugh shouldn't be properly vetted. We owe it to our children to investigate these serious allegations & his records. 5:28 AM - Sep 25, 2018 2,118 614 people are talking about this Twitter Ads info and privacy Barry Walters@barryinct Replying to @FoxNews and 2 others Really? So, what you are saying is denying a SCOTUS nominee and a President a hearing was wrong and inexcusable? And when we have allegations of sexual assault, we should suck it up and ram it through? 5:23 AM - Sep 25, 2018 187 35 people are talking about this Twitter Ads info and privacy View image on Twitter Victor House@nocturnalsuns1 Replying to @FoxNews @PressSec 7:36 AM - Sep 25, 2018 2,448 1,054 people are talking about this

BOMBSHELL: Former roommate: Brett Kavanaugh was an aggressive, belligerent, incoherent drunk Bill Palmer \| 9:09 am EDT September 25, 2018 Palmer Report » Analysis palmerreport.com 1019 SHARES As women keep coming forward to accuse Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of crimes like sexual assault, attempted rape, and gang rape, one consistent theme keeps popping up: Kavanaugh was allegedly drunk while he was doing these things. During his Fox News interview on Monday night, Kavanaugh admitted that he and his friends had been drinking during high school, but denied any wrongdoing while he was drinking. So what was he really like when he was drinking? Let’s ask his former roommate. Brett Kavanaugh and James Roche were college roommates at Yale in 1983, which is the same year in which Deborah Ramirez claims Kavanaugh drunkenly sexually assaulted her, and one year after Dr. Christine Blasey Ford claims Kavanaugh drunkenly attempted to rape her. Roche first popped up in the New Yorker expose from Ronan Farrow and Jane Mayer on Sunday night, where he claimed that Kavanaugh was an out of control drunk. Roche then expanded on his remarks when an ABC 7 News reporter caught up with him. Here’s what Roche said to reporter Wayne Freedman about his roommate Brett Kavanaugh: “Although Brett was normally reserved, he was a notably heavy drinker, even by the standards of the time, and that he became aggressive and belligerent when he was very drunk … frequently drinking excessively and becoming incoherently drunk.” Roche went on to say that he knew Deborah Ramirez, and that he believes her accusations against Kavanaugh. Brett Kavanaugh came off as mild mannered, nervous, and reserved during his Fox News interview. But his own former roommate says that when Kavanaugh drank heavily, he transformed from that meek person into a very scary-sounding monster. This would seem to give a whole new context to what Kavanaugh said about his drunken partying while he was in school: “I think all of us have probably done things we look back on in high school and regret or cringe a bit.”
