Trump Says He Feels ‘Terribly’ for Kavanaugh at Presser: ‘This Is Not a Man That Deserves This’
RUSH EXCERPT:
TRUMP: "It wouldn’t bother me other than the FBI said that they really don’t do that. That is not what they do. Now, they have done supposedly six background checks over the years as Judge Kavanaugh has gone beautifully up the ladder. He isintellect, great judge. Impeccable history in every way. In every way. I feel so badly for him that he is going through this to be honest with you. I feel so badly for him. This is not a man that deserves this. This should have been brought to the fore, it should been brought up long ago. And that is what you have hearings for. You don’t wait until the hearing is over and then all of a sudden bring it up. When senator Feinstein sat with Judge Kavanaugh for a long period of time, a long, long meeting, she had this letter. Why didn’t she bring it up. Why didn’t the Democrats bring it up then? Because they obstruct and because they resist. That is the name of their campaign against me. They just resist and they just obstruct. Frankly I think they are lousy on policy and in many ways lousy politicians. But they are very good on obstruction. And it is a shame because this is a great gentleman. With all of that, I feel that the Republicans, and I can speak for myself, we should go through a process. Because there shouldn’t everyone — even be a doubt. Shouldn’t be a doubt. Again, they should have done this three months ago. Not now. But they did it now. So I don’t want to play into their hands. Hopefully the woman will come forward, state her case. He will state his case. Before representatives of the United States Senate. And then they will vote, they will look at his career, they will look at what she had to say from 36 years ago, and we will see what happens. But I just think he is at a level that we rarely see. Not only in government, anywhere in life. And honestly I feel terribly for him, for his wife who is an incredible lovely woman. And for his beautiful young daughters. I feel terribly for them."
