New allegation against Kavanaugh.

KC Hunt is reporting now that a woman has said that her daughter witnessed Kavanaugh slam a woman against a wall outside a DC bar in 1998 in a sexual manner.

This is a fourth allegation and is being reported on Ari Melber's show right now.

I think the nomination should be pulled and he should lose his appellate bench.

That said, I’m not ready to sign up for this one as credible relative to the other three. 20 years ago in a crowded Georgetown street my daughter saw a guy push a woman against a wall and I think it’s kavanaugh.

That’s a tough one without some more info. Did the daughter know kav such that she’d remember him. Or did she know the woman. Or, was it actually her.

May have happened but the memory of it feels thin.

I saw a woman pushed up against a wall one night as I drive down the street. I remember it like yesterday because I knew her. But...I couldn’t tell you who the guy was for a billion dollars.

Anyway. Dump the guy and let’s move on.

four women who left a DC bar in 1998 and one of them was the one assaulted by Kavanaugh. It's a new development that is being fleshed out.

You should watch it on MSNBC. It's on the Matthews show now.

He never got nasty with women, but he'd pick fights and generally be an asshole. Sober, the nicest guy you'd ever meet. He finally just quit drinking.
