VIDEO: Judge Kavanaugh and His Wife Ashley Stand Strong in First Public Interview

Fox News published a September 24, 2018 Martha MacCallum interview with Judge Brett Kavanaugh on its YouTube channel. Fox News posted:

Full Interview | Judge Brett Kavanaugh and his wife Ashley speak out in their first television interview since Dr. Christine Blasey Ford levied accusations that derailed Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court nomination. Judge Kavanaugh faces questions on Ford’s allegations and how this has impacted him, his family, and his future as a Supreme Court nominee.

In The Daily Signal column titled “Kavanaugh Assails Accusations as ‘Smears, Pure and Simple,’ and Won’t Withdraw” Rachel del Guidice reports:

In a letter sent Monday to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley and ranking member Dianne Feinstein, Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh categorically and unequivocally rejected a pair of accusations of sexual misconduct.

“[Sunday] night, another false and uncorroborated accusation from 35 years ago was published,” Kavanaugh wrote in response to the newest allegation, by a Colorado woman. “Once again, those alleged to have been witnesses to the event deny it ever happened. There is now a frenzy to come up with something—anything—that will block this process and a vote on my confirmation from occurring.”

“These are smears, pure and simple,” he added. “And they debase our public discourse. But they are also a threat to any man or woman who wishes to serve our country. Such grotesque and obvious character assassination—if allowed to succeed—will dissuade competent and good people of all political persuasions from service.”

“As I told the committee during my hearing, a federal judge must be independent, not swayed by public or political pressure,” Kavanaugh said. “That is the kind of judge I will always be. I will not be intimidated into withdrawing from this process.

“The coordinated effort to destroy my good name will not drive me out. The vile threats of violence against my family will not drive me out. The last-minute character assassination will not succeed,” he said.

Kavanaugh also thanked the many women who have supported him and vouched for his character.

Saul Alinsky had 13 Rules for Radicals. Two of these rules apply to the tactics being used by Congressional Democrats to attack Judge Kavanaugh:

7. “A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag.” Don’t become old news.
13. “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions.

It appears that the Democrats have been fully implementing rule number 13 but are violating rule number 7. Their tactic of smearing Judge Brett Kavanaugh has now become a drag on the Democrats and their Socialist allies.
