Top Dem compares Kavanaugh to disgraced Hollywood producer Weinstein
The ranking Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, Rep. Jerry Nadler (New York), on Wednesday compared the "pattern" of allegations against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh to those faced by disgraced Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein.
"These allegations should be thoroughly investigated, and they have credibility," Nadler told Hill.TV's Krystal Ball and Buck Sexton. His comments follow a third woman coming forward to accuse Kavanaugh of sexual misconduct.
"The specific reason they have credibility is that they fit the pattern, and the pattern is that when you find someone like a Harvey Weinstein, or someone else who's very respected and powerful...and is suddenly accused of sexually exploiting women, first one person comes forward, and then another, and then the dam breaks, and you find a number of women coming forward," he continued.
"That seems to be what's happening with Judge Kavanaugh. He's a very powerful judge, who has been nominated to the highest court in the land. Women are going to be very reluctant to upset their own lives by making these accusations and revealing what happened to them," he said. "But once one comes forward, then a second, and now a third, that fits the pattern of truthful allegations against powerful men."
