This morning, @JeffFlake just called his conduct “appalling.”
A “yes” vote would also be appalling.
Ordinarily no. The usual remedy would be recusal.
But this isn’t an ordinary case.
Kavanaugh bears responsibility for Trump’s reprehensible conduct last night by his own conspiratorial partisan attack on his accusers.
But I think Trump attacking the victim at a whipped-up seething partisan rally is a game-changer.
And it puts a new spotlight (yes, Spotlight) on Kavanaugh’s deplorable partisan rant in his hearing.
A vote for Kavanaugh is a vote to help Trump stay in office.
Kavanaugh morphed into Trumpism on national TV, and Trump is reveling in it.
You can no longer claim to be #NeverTrump if you support Kavanaugh. You’re all in.
