President Donald Trump attacked Democrat Sen. Richard Blumenthal at the White House Monday for his treatment of Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
Trump was asked about the confirmation process for Kavanaugh on the White House driveway by reporters. Trump did not hold back on how he thought Democrats had handled the sexual misconduct allegations against his SCOTUS pick.
“I thought the way they behaved was absolutely atrocious,” Trump said.
“I’ve never seen anything like it. From the leaks of important documents to the statements they made to watching Blumenthal, who was a fraudster when it came to Vietnam. What he did was horrible.
Blumenthal falsely claimed multiple times that he served in Vietnam during the Vietnam war. He later apologized.
“I think the way they dealt with a high-level, brilliant, going to be a great justice of the Supreme Court, the way they really tortured him and his family, I thought it was a disgrace. I thought it was one of the most disgraceful performances I’ve ever seen.”
Kavanaugh was sworn in as a Supreme Court justice Saturday afternoon after being confirmed by the Senate. (RELATED: Brett Kavanaugh Is Now A Supreme Court Justice)
