"On Thursday’s broadcast of CNN’s “The Lead,” Senate Judiciary Committee member Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) expressed confidence that if Democrats win back one or more chambers of Congress, they will investigate the allegations against Brett Kavanaugh, even if Kavanaugh is on the Supreme Court.

Whitehouse said, “[E]ven if they were to ram this guy through, as soon as Democrats get gavels, we’re going to want to get to the bottom of this. You can’t ignore a crime victim’s claim that something happened, refuse to investigate, throw her up into the stand without the least bit of support for her, without the least bit of effort to corroborate what she says, and then walk away from that as if you’ve behaved at all properly. There isn’t a prosecutor or a victim advocate in the country who would tolerate that.”

And there you are, GOP voters.

If you weren’t motivated to get out in droves in November before, here’s your motivation.

The RNC needs to take out air time putting this on blast.

Embarrassed to share a state with him. Most I know commonly refer to him as Shithouse. Deservedly so.

Senator Whitehouse is legit retarded. He’s at least on the spectrum.

I guess he's never heard of the statute of limitations, because prosecutors do exactly what he refers to all the time.

If they follow the typical Democrat strategy.. they will then leak all the personal info they collected during the investigation to the media, in an attempt to embarrass kav. Showing just how childish our government is.

Honest question:
What crime is even being alleged?

The full-court press continues to get white suburban women to vote against Republicans.

The minority party can investigate anything, any time.

They just can’t order a punishment without getting a majority of the votes for a punishment.

Sheldon must have skipped class the day those House rules were explained...

Ha no they won't. If they were to do this, the citizenry would revolt.

It’s alleged that a 16 year old boy tried to feel up a 15 year old girl 36 years ago.

I was in HS 36 years ago. Back then, that wasn’t called a “crime”. It was called “Friday night”.
