‘A shameful, shameful smear campaign’ to ‘destroy a man’s personal and professional life’: Mitch McConnell savages Democrats over Kavanaugh as he vows there WILL be a Senate vote
Senate Majority leader Mitch McConnell said Monday that all 100 senators will soon vote on President Donald Trump’s embattled Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, no matter what results from a closely watched Judiciary Committee set for Thursday.
‘Judge Kavanaugh will be voted on here on the Senate floor. Up or down on the Senate floor,’ an indignant McConnell said in a fiery speech.
‘This fine nominee to the Supreme Court will receive a vote in this Senate in the near future,’ he pledged.
McConnell said ‘left wing interests’ have been ‘aided and abetted’ by Democratic senators in a bid to squash Kavanaugh’s hope of sitting on America’s highest court.
He said their goal was to obstruct and ‘destroy a man’s personal and professional life,’ and called the rvelations part of an ‘orchestrated, last-minute hit on the nominee.’
‘This shameful, shameful smear campaign has hit a new low,’ he said, claiming that ‘Senate Democrats and their allies are trying to destroy a man’s personal and professional life on the basis of decades-old allegations that are unsubstantiated and uncorroborated.’

The stakes couldn’t be higher on this and McConnell obviously knows it.
