President Donald Trump is attacking the second accuser of his Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh as admitting to being drunk and raged against a ‘con game’ Democrats are playing with the confirmation process.
The president was visibly frustrated with the situation surrounding his Supreme Court nominee and repeatedly dinged the Democrats for holding up the process around Kavanaugh, whom he described multiple times as a ‘high quality’ person.
And when asked about the allegations revealed by a second accuser in an article in The New Yorker on Sunday, the president dismissed them.
He noted Debra Ramirez said in the piece she was drinking at a college party when she and Kavanaugh were students at Yale. She claims Kavanaugh took down his pants and thrust his penis in her face. He denies the allegation.
‘The second accuser has nothing,’ Trump said. ‘The second accuser doesn’t even know – maybe it could have been him, maybe not. She admits she was drunk. There are time lapses.’

He also turned his fury onto Democrats, charging them with running a con game and noting they were beating Republicans in it.
‘I think it’s horrible what the Democrats have done,’ Trump told reporters in New York during a bilateral meeting with the president of Colombia.
‘They’re playing a con game and they’re playing it very well,’ he said of the Democrat. ‘They play it better than Republicans.’
‘They’re good at one thing – obstruction and cons,’ he added of Democrats.

He argued here have been no other charges like this against Kavanaugh.
He went back to slamming Democrats.
‘This is a con game being played by Democrats,’ he said, handing waving in the air as he complained about Kavanaugh’s treatment. ‘They know it’s a con game and they know he’s high quality.’
‘It will be a horrible horrible thing for future political people, judges,’ he noted.
He argues his nominee is highly qualified to be on the Supreme Court.
‘He has a chance to be one of the greatest judges in the United States,’ Trump said. ‘What a shame.’
