The partisan Democrat opposition to Judge Brett Kavanaugh was a “great political gift” to Republicans, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said in Washington Post article.
“It’s been a great political gift for us,” McConnell wrote. “The tactics have energized our base. I want to thank the mob, because they’ve done the one thing we were having trouble doing, which was energizing our base.”
Republicans are also benefiting in polling on Senate races because of the left-wing and partisan Democrat campaign against Kavanaugh’s nomination, said McConnell.
On Saturday, leftists opposed Kavanaugh’s nomination in Washington, DC, displaying signs with messages such as: “STOP NORMALIZING RAPE,” “ME TOO, ANITA!’, and “This administration is like a jobs program for misogynists.”
Various left-wing and partisan Democrat news media figures derided Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) on Friday following her same-day stated intention to vote to confirm Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court.
Organized protesters harassed senators contemplating support for Kavanaugh. Several senators — mostly Republicans — claimed to have received death threats from people opposing Kavanaugh’s nomination.
