In the last decade, nearly every time I read a story about an individual indicted or accused of being a sexual predator in Washington, it is a member of the Republican Party. In less than three years your illegitimate president, several members of congress, and a Supreme Court Justice have been accused of sexual harassment and/or sexual assault. Because the Republican Party as a whole refuses to denounce actions by members of their own party, it is fair to make a claim that they condone and accept the fact that their party is composed of sexual predators.

Today additional allegations of sexual misconduct have been levied against Brett Kavanaugh. I refuse to refer to him as a Supreme Court Justice, for the same reason I refuse to add the title of “president” to the name Donald Trump. They are unfit for their positions, and were not confirmed legally.

Kavanaugh’s confirmation hearings were far a bigger farce than those conducted for Clarence Thomas in 1991. Anita Hill testified before the Senate that she was sexually harassed by George H.W. Bush’s nominee. The senators on both sides of the aisle, which included Joe Biden, literally called Ms. Hill a liar and confirmed his nomination.

Kavanaugh’s hearings were dominated by claims from Dr. Christine Blasey Ford that she had been sexually assaulted by Trump’s nominee. Brutal and accusatory questioning by Republicans were in fact accusations that she was lying. The FBI performed a cursory investigation into several allegations. Their failure to comprehensively vet the nominee allowed the pervert to be confirmed by Republican senators.

Today new accusations have risen and Democrats are calling for Kavanaugh’s impeachment.

Sexual predators stick together, and Trump is supporting Kavanaugh asking for his DOJ to protect his appointee.

This is America under the Trump regime. We are no longer a nation of moral, patriotic, and respected men and women who place their nation first. Republicans are opportunists whose only goals are personal advancement and their failed and despicable party.

Time for real change; all Republicans must go. Vote on November 3, 2020 and return America to its roots. Trump is a travesty but his party is worse.
