Democrat Sen.Blumenthal Says Kavanaugh Will Make Trump A ‘Monarch’

Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal said that Brett Kavanaugh’s appointment to the Supreme Court would make Donald Trump a “monarch”at a rally on Capitol Hill on Wednesday.

WATCH:

“Now, Brett Kavanaugh is, in effect, a get-out-of-jail-free card for Donald Trump. He is a way for Donald Trump to protect himself because Brett Kavanaugh has said, just coincidentally, you don’t think that President States ought to be subpoenaed to a grand jury. How convenient,” Blumenthal asserted to the crowd.

The Senator from Connecticut wasn’t done smearing Kavanaugh and making baseless accusations against the President, however.

“He thinks the president can refuse to enforce the law even if the courts, including United States Supreme Court, have said it’s valid and constitutional. The president would, in effect, be a monarch. The president would be a monarch if Brett Kavanaugh becomes a Supreme Court justice. I don’t think Americans want an imperial presidency. Do you?” Blumenthal asked.

This is not the first time Blumenthal has been hostile towards Kavanaugh. He sent the following tweets:

Judge Kavanaugh’s record&writings signal an extreme hostility to the precious rights&liberties that make our nation great. He’s passed the Trump litmus test – screened&vetted by extreme right-wing groups that have made this president their puppet.
