The House’s top Democrat surmised Friday that U.S. President Donald Trump is trying “to break the #MeToo movement” by voting Brett Kavanaugh into a seat on the Supreme Court without further investigation of Christine Blasey Ford’s sworn statement that he sexually assaulted her when both were in high school.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., told reporters she agreed with people, including her daughter, who believe that Trump has a greater vendetta against women, especially those who are bringing accusations against powerful men.

Trump “has his own problems — that he could be president of the United States with all of the disrespect he has demonstrated against women,” Pelosi said. “And now he’s appointing somebody like him.”

Trump has ignored calls from Democrats and even the American Bar Association to delay Kavanaugh’s confirmation vote until there can be an FBI investigation into Ford’s allegations that during a gathering in the early 1980s, Kavanaugh pinned her down on a bed and covered her mouth when she tried to scream, while he and his friend Mark Judge, who was also in the room, laughed. Kavanaugh angrily denied Ford’s allegations during a Thursday hearing, accusing Democratic senators of a “calculated and orchestrated political hit.”

Senate Judiciary Committee chairman Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, is planning to have the panel vote on Kavanaugh’s nomination Friday afternoon, setting up procedural votes that Republicans hope will result in Kavanaugh’s confirmation early next week.

Victims of sexual assault have lashed out against Republicans who declared their support for Kavanaugh in the wake of his fiery testimony.

“You’re telling all women that they don’t matter — that they should just stay quiet because if they tell you what happened to them, you’re going to ignore them,” one protester told Sen. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., as he went to a Judiciary Committee morning during a live CNN broadcast. Flake announced his support for Kavanaugh Friday morning.

“These people can yell all they want to,” Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said during a Fox News broadcast as protesters followed him through the halls of a Senate office building. “Doesn’t matter. I believe him.”

The #MeToo movement began to gain steam last year, when several women came forward to accuse Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein of rape and other forms of sexual assault. Since then, women have lodged complaints against other celebrities, politicians, journalists and top business executives who they accuse of sexual assault or of coercing female subordinates, in some cases leading to the men’s dismissals.

Pollsters have predicted that the next frontier for the #MeToo movement is the 2018 midterm elections, in which record numbers of female candidates are running, and various groups of women are seen as key voting blocs. But Pelosi stressed on Friday that she wasn’t interested in any political boost an electoral backlash against Kavanaugh’s confirmation might bring Democrats if it meant Kavanaugh would be on the Supreme Court.

“If it benefits Democrats politically, it’s a bonanza that we don’t want ... what we want is integrity on the Supreme Court,” Pelosi said, charging that Republicans want Kavanaugh on the bench to help dismantle parts of the Affordable Care Act.

She added that she believed Senate Republicans, Trump and Kavanaugh himself are resisting an FBI investigation of Ford’s claims because they “do not want the truth to come forward.”

“The truth will reveal that Judge Kavanaugh has not been truthful with his answers,” Pelosi said. “That is a cause for concern, not only for the job he wants but the job he has now.”

Last week, Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., said that if Democrats seize control of Congress, they would continue to investigate the charges against Kavanaugh, even if he is a Supreme Court justice by that point. If Democrats seize control of the House, they can go one step further, by starting impeachment proceedings.

But Pelosi resisted speculating on Friday about what steps she might take to hold Kavanaugh accountable for what she believes are the false parts of his testimony, or what hearings she might instruct Rep. Jerold Nadler, D-N.Y. — who would become the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee — to organize.
