The women of The View on Monday offered their latest conviction of Brett Kavanaugh, declaring him “guilty” and suggesting that impeachment is next, should the judge be confirmed to the Supreme Court. Last week, co-host Joy Behar proclaimed Kavanaugh “probably guilty.” On Monday, she’s dropped the “probably.”
Hypocritically, co-host Sunny Hostin lamented Senate Republicans who have already made up their mind: “It’s Lindsey Graham saying whatever she says won’t change my vote.” She angrily lectured, “If you have a jury trial and you have a juror that says, ‘I don’t care what the star witness says, that won’t change my vote,’ that juror gets thrown off the jury.”
A few seconds later, Behar reminded viewers that her mind is made up. She said of a potential confirmation: “He’ll be in. They’ll get their way and then we’ll find out the guy is guilty. What good is that?” The liberal host seethed, “Then you’ll have to impeach a Supreme Court justice.”
Last Wednesday, Behar offered a variation on this conviction: “[Republicans] are protecting a man who is probably guilty. If you’re not, Judge Kavanaugh, take the lie detector test.” Behar spat, “Or are you a coward?”- READ MORE

Kavanaugh added he will not be driven “out of this process” in a Fox News Channel clip released on Monday.
“I’m not going to let false accusations drive us out of this process,” he said, sitting beside his wife as she nods. “We’re looking for a fair process where I can be heard, defending my integrity, my lifelong record … of promoting dignity and equality for women, starting with the women who knew me when I was 14 years old.”
“I’m not going anywhere,” he added.– READ MORE
[divider][/divider]An embattled Brett Kavanaugh on Monday said he won’t be “intimidated into withdrawing” his nomination to the Supreme Court, as he called accusations he sexually harassed and assaulted women decades ago while in high school and college “smears” in a new letter to top lawmakers on the Senate Judiciary Committee.
“I will not be intimidated into withdrawing from this process,” Kavanaugh wrote in the letter. “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.”
Kavanaugh, who intends to testify Thursday before the committee about the allegations along with the first accuser, has been hit with fresh but uncorroborated accusations.
“There is now a frenzy to come up with something—anything—that will block this process and a vote on my confirmation from occurring,” Kavanaugh wrote. “These are smears, pure and simple. And they debase our public discourse.” – READ MORE
