President Donald Trump caused public outrage again over his comments mocking the account from Kavanaugh accuser Christine Blasey Ford Tuesday at a rally.
The president was speaking in Mississippi when he appeared to mock the holes in the account from Ford, who accused his Supreme Court nominee of sexual assault decades ago.
"What he's going through — 36 years ago, this happened," the president said.
"I had one beer, right, I had one beer," he said in the person of Ford.
"Well, you think it was — nope, it was one beer," he added. "Oh good. How did you get home? I don't remember."
"How did you get there? I don't remember," he repeated. "Where is the place? I don't remember. How many years ago was it? I dunno. I dunno."
"I dunno! I dunno!!" he exclaimed to great applause from the audience.
"What neighborhood was it in? I dunno," he continued. "Where's the house? I dunno?"
"Upstairs, downstairs, where was it?" he added. "I dunno, but I had one beer. That's the only thing I remember.
"And a man's life is in tatters, a man's life is shattered, his wife is shattered, his daughters, who are beautiful, incredible, young kids," Trump said. "They destroy people, they want to destroy people. These are really evil people!"
"We can always count on the president to go to the lowest common denominator," responded Rep. Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii) on CNN about the president's comments, "mock people, call people names, attack them."
Others on the left were similarly outraged.
"This pig. And he didn’t even allow the FBI to interview her," responded liberal podcaster Amy Siskind.
"Trump just mocked Dr. Ford, a victim of sexual assault," said Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.). "This shouldn’t surprise us — he’s mocked Gold Star parents, the disabled, and prisoners of war. But it should disgust us all the same."
"This is the most misogynist display of barbaric insensitivity I’ve ever seen," responded actress Alyssa Milano. "THIS IS WHY I DIDN’T REPORT. THIS RIGHT HERE. Women are watching. And we vote."
