Democrats will exploit Kavanaugh’s accuser all the way to Election Day

Are Senate Democrats really interested in learning the truth about the high-school sex-assault accusation against Brett Kavanaugh? Or are they just scheming to exploit it in the fall campaign?

Faced with a backlash against accuser Christine Blasey Ford’s refusal to testify next Monday, her lawyer suddenly shifted strategy — saying Ford’s prepared to testify “next week,” but only under “fair” terms.

Yet the lawyer also insisted that testimony “is not possible” on Monday. So with committee rules requiring at least a week’s notice, that could push off her appearance into October, with a vote on Kavanaugh’s nomination not possible until shortly before Election Day.

Which would make Democrats very happy, even if — especially if — Kavanaugh is confirmed. As Axios reports, they’re already making plans to repeat their tactics after the gender-charged Clarence Thomas hearings, which led to the election of a record number of female Democrats in the “Year of the Woman” in 1992.

This time, they see the GOP losing “the war of public opinion,” letting Dems shift the fall debate away from economic growth into a referendum on women’s rights.

And, as Axios also reports, Democrats “feel confident” that “every rich liberal in America would help fund this effort.”

Democrats would love to block Kavanaugh, but they’re more focused on using Ford to win big at the polls. That’s political cynicism at its worst.
