McConnell: ‘Despicable’ How Kavanaugh’s Being Hit with ‘Last Minute Smears’

EXCERPT:

MCCONNELL: "And this unsubstantiated allegation stands entirely at odds with everything we’ve heard about Judge Kavanaugh’s character from those who worked with him, socialized with him, dating all the way back to high school. But Democrats wouldn’t let a few inconvenient things, like a complete lack of evidence or an accuser’s request for confidentiality to get between them and a good smear. It’s despicable. And the contrast with the completely professional conduct of Chairman Grassley could not be starker. As soon as Chairman Grassley learned about this allegation, he handled it through proper channels. He immediately began gathering the facts. His office promptly conducted a transcribed interview of Judge Kavanaugh in which under penalty of felony he unequivocally denied the last-minute allegation."
