WALSH: On Election Day, Democrats Want You To Forget About Their Kavanaugh Smear Campaign. Don’t.

Matt Walsh

It’s odd, isn’t it? Democrats screamed and cried in front of cameras for weeks, insisting that Brett Kavanaugh is a dangerous rapist. Then the dangerous rapist was actually confirmed to the Supreme Court — a fact that should provoke more anger, not dampen it — yet those same Democrats have largely stopped talking about Kavanaugh altogether.

Now, I’m no expert on these matters, but if I were a politician running for office and my opponent played a part in getting a serial sex offender installed on our nation’s highest court, I would never shut up about it. I would throw it against him every chance I got. “Remember Kavanaugh,” would be my rallying cry. Unless, of course, the serial sex offender was no sex offender at all, and the whole thing was a brazen smear campaign that I had helped orchestrate. In that case, after the campaign fell apart and my party was exposed, the cry, which I would not actually say out loud, would be more like: “Forget Kavanaugh. Talk about anything other than Kavanaugh. Look there’s a squirrel!”
