Democrats pull an insane round of manipulation regarding sexual assault allegations against Brett

Kavanaugh and Bernie Sanders off the rails once more. I'm Ben Shapiro. This is the Ben Shapiro.

Well, it's Kavanaugh, Kavanaugh and more Kavanaugh today because that is the only thing

in the news and it's the only thing in the news for a reason. I have never seen anything like this. I have never seen people throw out an allegation with no supporting facts whatsoever, admit that there are no supporting facts whatsoever, admit they don't know whether the allegation is true, and still maintain that a dude's life should be ruined over it.

So I have to say that in the 25 hours that I was away, the Democrats have morphed their playbook. So it went from, here's a woman

accusing a prospective Supreme Court nominee of sexual assault. Let's hear her story to,

you must not ask any questions whatsoever. And if you do, you are demonstrating you don't take her seriously.

Also, you can't talk to her.

So basically, Democrats said, hear this woman's story.

And Republican said, okay, let's hear it.

And Democrats said, no, never.

And Republican said, well, then, how are we supposed to hear her story?

And Democrats said, no, never. And that's pretty much where things stand right now. As in her lawyer is now saying that there is no reason to have a hearing, that instead they're going to throw this in the lap of the FBI. As we discussed a couple of days ago, the FBI is not the magic police, okay? They don't just go around investigating claims that are 36 years old with no corroborative evidence.

There's nothing for them to do here. No federal crime has actually been alleged.

This notion that the FBI is some sort of time cop and they can just go back in time

and watch from outside the window with their spy glasses and then see what Brett Kavanaugh did

at an unspecified date, at an unspecified time, in an unspecified location, that's crazy talk. But Democrats are trying to put that out there so that they don't have to have a hearing. Now, this is how you know that the allegations must not be all that credible even to Democrats. It's a win for them to have a hearing, right? I mean, how does this go badly for them?

Think about the logic. Let's say that Democrats have this hearing. Let's say that Christine Blaisey Ford, the accuser, comes forward. And let's say that she gives a tear-filled interview about exactly what happened when Brett Kavanaugh allegedly thrust her into a room, jumped on top of her, tried to pull her clothes down and put his hand over her mouth while she was screaming. How exactly are Republicans going to look good coming out of that?

This was the assumption last week. This is why so many Republicans were saying, let's not even do this hearing. Let's just go straight to the vote. The reason is because there is no way to win that PR battle. You got a woman who is alleging something terrible happened to her and a bunch of old white men asking her questions. How does that come off looking good for Republicans? Well, the only way it comes out looking good for Republicans is if there are holes in her story. If it looks like Democrats took a half-baked story, threw it out there in order to stop Kavanaugh, and then her story falls apart publicly. That's the only plausible reason why Democrats don't actually want to hold this hearing.
