President Donald Trump claimed in a Wednesday evening press conference that Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh is facing “false accusations in some cases.”

The line came when Trump was asked if he believes that the three women who have come forward with sexual misconduct allegations against Kavanaugh are lying. His response was remarkable:

Agreeing that this was a “historic moment,” Trump thought it was all about the damage wreaked on men whose accusers were believed without sufficient corroborating evidence. Asked very directly if he ever gave women the benefit of the doubt in situations like Kavanaugh’s, Trump tossed out one of the most incoherent word salads since Andrew Johnson showed up drunk at his inauguration as vice president:

It’s hard to imagine the president did Brett Kavanaugh much good in this bizarre performance, aside from the angst involved in putting the judge on notice that he might dump him tomorrow if he doesn’t look good on television.

Swetnick’s accusation follows one by Christine Blasey Ford who claimed Kavanaugh held her down on a bed and groped and tried to take her clothes off during a high school party, which she believes likely occurred in the summer of 1982. Speaking to reporters at the United Nations earlier in the day, he said Senate Republicans “could have pushed it through 2½ weeks ago.”

Trump said that if lawmakers had moved faster, “you wouldn’t be talking about it right now, which is frankly what I would have preferred.”

Asked about the decision to have a veteran Arizona prosecutor handle the questioning in the Judiciary Committee, Trump said Senate Republicans “could not be nicer” and “could not be more respectful.” Trump said he was “OK with that,” but again defended Kavanaugh as a “gem” and said Democrats are treating him unfairly. Your actions are disgraceful.”

In another tweet, the attorney wrote Trump “pretends he is a tough guy,” but “he is nothing of the kind.”

“That is why the majority of America & the UN laughs at him,” Avenatti added. According to Fox News, Trump told reporters at the United Nations in New York he is hopeful all the late-breaking controversy and allegations regarding Kavanaugh will be over in a few days and that he will confirmed and become a “Supreme Court justice who will go down as one of our greatest ever.”

Currently, a Senate Judiciary Committee vote on Kavanaugh’s nomination is set for Friday, with a vote of the full Senate to follow early next week.
President Donald Trump says he believes Kavanaugh after seeing him testify on the sexual assault allegation, citing his remarks as "powerful, honest, and riveting."
