Republicans just don't take sexual assault seriously as a problem Just look at Bill Shine and Trump
Republicans simply do not care whether it’s true that Brett Kavanaugh sexually assaulted women in his youth.
Tactically, there are tells. They tried to speed up the process rather than slow it down when they learned there were more allegations against him. They’ve resisted calling relevant witnesses to testify. And they haven't seen fit to take liberals’ advice and swap him out for another equally conservative nominee.
But the real way you know they don’t care isn’t the tactics surrounding the Kavanaugh nomination — it’s the key role played in it by White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Communications Bill Shine.
