By Bret Stephens

For the first time since Donald Trump entered the political fray, I find myself grateful that he’s in it. I’m reluctant to admit it and astonished to say it, especially since the president mocked Christine Blasey Ford in his ugly and gratuitous way at a rally on Tuesday. Perhaps it’s worth unpacking this admission for those who might be equally astonished to read it.

I’m grateful because Trump has not backed down in the face of the slipperiness, hypocrisy and dangerous standard-setting deployed by opponents of Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination to the Supreme Court. I’m grateful because ferocious and even crass obstinacy has its uses in life, and never more so than in the face of sly moral bullying. I’m grateful because he’s a big fat hammer fending off a razor-sharp dagger.

Wow!

My only complaint: No comments for this article. It would be full of blubbering and gnashing of the teeth.

There is a comment section for sure. At least there was an hour ago.

Got it! Had to click on one of the buttons to show it in a sidebar.

Oh, it is a barf fest all right. There's a shock! "FBI, investigate Kavanaugh's adolescence or you're JUST LIKE HITLER!!!"

Funny how the Press gives credence to any ol' roommate, but blows off the testimony of a long term boyfriend of Blasey when she was fully adult in her 30s.

The solution, and it won't happen here because it's a SCOTUS nominee, is to start suing. The Academic-Admin Class will keep this up until they suffer for it.

Yah the comments are chock full of Leftards using the same tired disproven arguments to claim that guilty until innocent is the new best way to do things. Or claiming that since most claims are true this one should be treated as true as well. Or claiming that Kavs display of anger disqualified him no matter what. All are stupid arguments and those are all the ones which are highlighted.

One thing is for sure: NYC is not mainstream America. They represent the fringe of the fringe.

"Somebody considered for the Supreme Court can't lose their temper when a Coterie of Lesbian Leftwing Activists drag out a money hungry Academic after weeks of searching to make an evidence-free accusation missing almost every verifiable detail about something that happened 35+ years ago."

I guess someone at the Times figured out that since Bill Safire was gone they had better hire a "token person who can think and write" which means not a knee-jerk liberal.

It will be interesting to see how long Bret Stephens lasts.

The FBI should look deeper into this after he is confirmed. her whole accusation seems built by a lawyer-no time, no place, no house location, nothing-because if she gave at least a few details or even who brought here there or picked up afterwards-they can corroborate .

I think they built the whole thing so carefully so it can never be corroborated-unfortunately it blew up in their face-Kavanaugh refused to back down tot heir hate. Then of course there is Swetnick who used to be a client of the lesbo lawyer lady.
