President Trump said Tuesday the controversy surrounding Brett Kavaugh’s nomination to the Supreme Court shows it is a “scary time for young men.”

"It is a very scary time for young men in America, when you can be guilty of something you may not be guilty of," Trump told reporters on the South Lawn before leaving the White House.

Trump said Kavanaugh has been treated unfairly as multiple women have come forward to accuse the federal judge of sexual misconduct. The FBI is investigation the allegations, delaying a Senate confirmation vote.

"It's a very scary situation where you're guilty until proven innocent," the president said. "That is a very, very difficult standard."

...no higher mountain to climb, or deeper pit to start crawling from than being born a white male in America. The fortitude shown simply by getting out of bed in the morning is truly inspiring.

14. He's right ... and they SHOULD be!

Men should be scared to abuse women because of the consequences.

That's how the legal system is supposed to work.
