Looks like Senate Democrats just exposed Brett Kavanaugh’s gambling problem
Donald Trump’s Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh has more than a few problems to his name. He’s been caught committing several counts of felony perjury during his confirmation hearings. He’s been exposed as having extremist anti-woman views. He was rather clearly only nominated due to his radically unconstitutional beliefs about a sitting president being protected from investigation. Now it turns out Kavanaugh appears to have a whole different kind of problem.
It’s already been publicly exposed that Kavanaugh racked up as much as $200,000 in personal debt which mysteriously disappeared; his excuse about buying baseball tickets for his friends is absurd. Last week Democrats exposed emails which revealed that Kavanaugh once apologized to his friends after “growing aggressive after blowing still another game of dice.” When you’ve got a guy admitting that he can’t control his emotions when it comes to gambling, and he’s got appearing-and-vanishing personal debt in the six figures, it’s enough of a red flag to keep a guy from getting a job at Arby’s, let alone the Supreme Court.
Democratic Senator Sheldon Whitehouse just submitted this glaring question for Brett Kavanaugh to answer: “Have you ever sought treatment for a gambling addiction?” This was reported this evening by the Huffington Post. To be clear, the Democrats would not go down this road, with a question this accusatory, unless they have something up their sleeve to corroborate it, or else it would backfire.
We don’t have any way of knowing what Senator Whitehouse and the Democrats are sitting on when it comes to Brett Kavanaugh’s apparent gambling problem. But we’re about to find out. The Democrats have been exposing Kavanaugh’s various lies and scandals in stages, ostensibly in order to maximize the impact of each one. Things are about to get very, very ugly for Kavanaugh – and it helps explain why Senate Republicans were reportedly hoping Donald Trump would pick someone else.
