Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell issued two tweets on Sunday defending Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh after a New York Times story reported on another sexual misconduct allegation that was brought up during his confirmation last year.
“The far left’s willingness to seize on completely uncorroborated and unsubstantiated allegations during last year’s confirmation process was a dark and embarrassing chapter for the Senate,” McConnell tweeted, adding the country still believes in due process and “I look forward to many years of service to come from Justice Kavanaugh.”
Fortunately a majority of Senators and the American people rallied behind timeless principles such as due process and the presumption of innocence. I look forward to many years of service to come from Justice Kavanaugh.

President Trump has also been defending Kavanaugh all Sunday, tweeting, “the Radical Left Democrats and their Partner, the LameStream Media, are after Brett Kavanaugh again, talking loudly of their favorite word, impeachment. He is an innocent man who has been treated HORRIBLY. Such lies about him.”
McConnell’s tweets come as several Democratic presidential candidates are calling for Kavanaugh to be impeached following the Times‘ story. Candidates California Sen. Kamala Harris, Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, Julián Castro, and Beto O’Rourke have said Kavanaugh should be removed from the court.
Max Stier, one of Kavanaugh’s classmates at Yale University, claimed that he witnessed him make inappropriate sexual contact with a female student. Stier informed the FBI during his confirmation process last year, but the FBI did not investigate it.
The allegation was similar to the one brought up by Deborah Ramirez, who accused Kavanaugh of drunkenly thrusting his penis into her face at a party.
