Trump: “It’s a Very Scary Time for Young Men in America”

HeadlineOct 03, 2018

President Trump praised Judge Kavanaugh and mocked his accusers Tuesday. This is Trump speaking to reporters outside the White House.

President Donald Trump: “Well, I say that it’s a very scary time for young men in America, when you can be guilty of something that you may not be guilty of. This is a very, very—this is a very difficult time.”

Later Tuesday, Trump mocked Dr. Christine Blasey Ford during a campaign rally in Mississippi, just days after calling her a “very credible witness.”

President Donald Trump: “Thirty-six years ago, this happened. I had one beer, right? I had one beer. Well, do you think it was—no, it was one beer. Oh, good. How did you get home? I don’t remember. How’d you get there? I don’t remember. Where is the place? I don’t remember. How many years ago was it? I don’t know. I don’t know. I don’t know! I don’t know!”

We’ll have more on the fight over Judge Kavanaugh’s nomination to the Supreme Court after headlines, when we’ll speak with Dr. Bandy Lee, a forensic psychiatrist on the faculty of Yale School of Medicine. Lee is co-author of a letter by mental health professionals warning Kavanaugh’s behavior is consistent with someone struggling with an alcohol problem.
