Democrats Really Don’t Care About Sexual Assault

CALLER: Oh, wonderful to hear from you, Rush. I’m a listener from the earliest days, and I’ll make a comment quick about the Democrats and the whole process with this hearing. And then, if you have time, I’ll tell you how you converted my wife from non-listener to one of your most loyal fans, which is a crazy story. But, anyway, with the Kavanaugh hearings, what’s so sinister and ironic in all this is if you remember back to Bill Clinton and the accusations that came out against him in the early days — not that early.

But all the accusations with him — the media, Saturday Night Live, every talk show, the news outlets — they totally destroyed these women. They made fun of their looks. They made fun of their weight. They mocked their stories. They discredited ’em. They questioned their motives. Unlike Dr. Ford, where you have someone that doesn’t remember anything, you had victims that remembered — in particular Juanita Broaddrick — the time, the place, the who, what, where, when, with witnesses.

The irony is so disgusting — and there’s no political motive with Bill Clinton’s victims because they were members of his own party! And that’s the sickness of all this. And I think senators in this whole process now have the perfect weapon to use — and I hate to call is it a “weapon.” But the perfect reality slap is to bring this up and call it out. I mean, Pelosi, Schumer, Durbin, any number of them wouldn’t even take a call from Juanita Broaddrick, a member of their own party.

RUSH: Yeah, but, see, they had their chance to do that and they didn’t want to go there, because they couldn’t take the risk of offending people who believed Blasey. But the fact of the matter is — and I will say it again — the Democrats don’t care about sexual assault, as evidenced by your recitation of the facts of what happened to women who accused Bill Clinton. They were destroyed, and Hillary Clinton ran the unit that did the destroying! It was called the “bimbo eruptions unit.” It was Hillary and Betsey Wright.

Bob Menendez — Democrat senator with a 10-point reelection lead in New Jersey — was caught running around with one of his donors in the Dominican with underage women. He narrowly escaped conviction and a trial over campaign contributions. Democrats don’t care about this! This was just a vehicle. It was just a Hail Mary. It was an October Surprise. You name it. It was just the vehicle. They had tried it with Clarence Thomas, Anita Hill. They got close; so they wanted to relive history and try this again.

I don’t think any of it was real.

Here’s the question: “Would it have been better for the GOP if Kavanaugh had failed, because then the base would be so mad; so ticked off they’d all come out to vote in November?”

CARVILLE: You know, that’s the money question, and I just found myself today for the Democrats, Kavanaugh is worth a lot more alive than dead. This is not gonna go away. They’re not gonna stop doing stories on Kavanaugh. They’re can… You know, they’re gonna keep him front and center. He’s not gonna go away. And had they defeated him, they would have just picked someone equally as right wing as Kavanaugh and have rammed him through in a lame-duck session. I think today’s result is probably as good as you can hope for. Kavanaugh is gonna be an issue in 2018. He’s gonna be an issue in 2020. The Democrats are gonna keep digging up stuff. The press is not gonna stop all the things that they’re working on about Kavanaugh.
