I used to know Brett Kavanaugh pretty well from my days as a conservative.
Anyone who thinks he’ll be an independent and fair judge is sorely mistaken—he’ll work for the Republican party, not the American people. The Senate should vote no.
Senator Hatch is wrong about role of FBI in judicial nominations. The FBI conducted numerous on Anita Hill's allegations. I know because Hatch staff selectively leaked portions of the FBI file 2 me in effort to discredit Hill. FBI should similarly investigate Ford's allegations.
The American ppl are now seeing the Kavanaugh I knew. 3 weeks ago he said of judges, “we stay out of politics”. Now these victims accounts/testimony are an “orchestrated political hit” and traced back to anti trump sentiment or revenge for Clinton’s. Case closed. Withdraw
BOMBSHELL: Trump directly asked Jim Jordan to obstruct justice for him, and he agreed. What else is Trump and his legal team directing the House GOP to do?

We must do everything in our power to stop Kavanaugh. Great to see
@CoryBooker
@SenKamalaHarris
@ilyseh
@UltraViolet
and many more this week on the frontlines. Here’s my take from knowing Kavanaugh firsthand
On Sunday night, after the NY Times told Santos they were about to publish, he tweeted support for McCarthy as speaker for the first time. McCarthy must say he won't accept the vote of a fraudster as part of his corrupt bargain to gain power.
The Brett Kavanaugh we saw on Thursday is the Brett Kavanaugh I knew in the 90s. He’s a partisan political hack, plain and simple. The lies he told on Thursday should disqualify him completely.
Schlapp is in a position of leadership as the sponsor of CPAC. Lots of young conservative men attend CPAC and they are easy prey for someone like Schlapp. He can’t chair this years conference.
This new committee is itself an obstruction of justice designed to deflect from investigations not only of Trump crimes but also of Jordan and his fellow insurrectionists
So
@gtconway3d
confirms he knew Kavanaugh. Why deny the multiple conversations we had when u were playing lead role as an "elf" in the Paula Jones case? You told me about the back-channel tipping off Starr's team, esp Brett. Alternative facts I guess. Ask Kavanaugh the truth?
Lindsey Graham called Trump xenophobic and racist in 2016. He didn’t even vote for him. Graham's whole act on Thursday during the Kavanaugh hearing was phony and a disgusting ploy to try to get himself a promotion.
Byron Donalds becomes first Republican congressman to confirm the Biden investigations are not focused on finding evidence of anything illegal. Bless his heart.
Our party is a big tent, and we need to accept that.
I accept that
@BernieSanders
has a sizable following within the party.
He and his supporters need to accept that we will all need each other to win in 2020.
We can’t alienate each other this time.
Matt Schlapp grabbed the crotch of a male staffer on Herschel Walker’s campaign
Kevin McCarthy had an affair with a fellow Member
Matt Gaetz trafficked teen girls
Jim Jordan covered up sex crimes
Trump assaulted at least 27 women
These are the sexual deviants leading the GOP
Jordan and Comer will end up failing just like Barr and Durham. Their failed efforts to gin up scandal will become the real scandal.

As of today, I am leaving my roles as Chairman of the board of Media Matters for America, Media Matters Action Network, and American Bridge. It's been my great honor to work with such talented and committed teams over the last 20 yrs. I’ll be sharing more about my next steps soon
Welcome to the race,
@BernieSanders
. I'm looking forward to a primary focused on policy debates and defeating Trump, not on personal attacks that undermine our party to Trump's benefit.

This is depraved. House GOPers are hellbent on using the power they gained in the corrupt bargain to execute a political vendetta against the Biden family at any cost to the American people. No wonder people are panicked about their priorities.
