I think at the heart of it, Brett Kavanaugh and Donald Trump, truly believe that their assaults and behavior toward women were okay or at least okay at the time they did it, because they were younger or were not running for office. Thus, they feel perfectly justified to lie and attack, yet also feel like they are the victim. In Brett's world, it was okay to try to get a woman drunk to have your way with her, and he is outraged that something so trivial could be used to deny him a seat on the Supreme Court.

President Donald Trump said Wednesday that allegations of sexual misconduct against him "impact my opinion" on what he described as false charges against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.
In extended comments during a press conference that lasted about 80 minutes on the sidelines of a United Nations meeting in New York, Trump portrayed himself as a victim of multiple made-up allegations.
"They made false statements about me, knowing they were false," Trump said of his accusers, adding that the The New York Times with misreported allegations against him during the run-up to the 2016 election. "People know that a lot of the news are fake, and a lot of the people sitting here are fake."
His remarks in defense of Kavanaugh came as his pick to succeed Justice Anthony Kennedy on the high court was struggling to claim the Senate votes needed for confirmation.

(11,686 posts)discussion on TV he had when the subject of sexual harassment in the workplace came up. He actually said that if Ivanka was sexually harassed then he hopes she would find work elsewhere. It is the woman who needs to leave even if it is HIS daughter. If that is not enough proof that he would throw Ivanka under the bus I do not know what else would be.
