Despite no evidence to back up the allegations of attempted sexual assault by Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh, the liberal media were eager to make them stick. Comparisons to Justice Clarence Thomas and Anita Hill were wildly thrown around along with suggestions those accusations were true. They were also hopeful for a better result this time. Disgraced journalist Dan Rather admitted as much during a Monday appearance on CNN’s Cuomo Prime Time.

Disguised under the illusion of seeking “truth”, Rather admitted that the character assassination of Supreme Court nominee Robert Bork in the 1980s was what happened to Justice Thomas in the early '90s and Judge Kavanaugh now. “And what this is about, as was the case with the Anita Hill and Clarence Thomas time, as well as the Bork hearings in the mid-1980s, was all about,” he told Cuomo.

Clearly, Rather was not one to be interested in the truth. After being asked by Cuomo if he understood how the public approval of Thomas could increase after the hearings, Rather told him he was baffled. “I didn't understand it at the time, and I'm not sure I understand it now is the honest answer,” he lamented. He couldn’t wrap his head around the idea that people actually saw through the lies told about Thomas.

But Rather was holding out hope for a better outcome for Kavanaugh where he would not be confirmed by the Senate:

But Chris, we're not just in a different planet now, we're in a different cosmos. At the time of the Anita Hill and Clarence Thomas thing, there were two women in the United States Senate. Today, there are 23, maybe 24. The #MeToo movement didn't exist at the time. So while some comparisons can be made, don't make too many comparisons because a different time, different situation.

“Do we prioritize power, or do we prioritize justice,” he opined after declaring it a “watershed moment” for the country akin to the civil rights movement or women’s suffrage. “Now, that's not pre-judging anything in this Kavanaugh case,” Rather disingenuously said. “It is sort of emphasizing why we need the hearings, why the hearings need to be open hearings.”

Cuomo was deeply concerned for Kavanaugh’s accuser (who was going to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee in a week) because the Judge has “a lot of advantages. One, he's got a lot of people invested in making him look good on that panel.” “[T]his is going to be very difficult for her, whether or not she's telling the truth or not,” he added.

In response, Rather painted a picture of Republicans looking to brutalize the woman. “[S]he may be a very accomplished college professor, but she is walking into a room in which she's going to be roughed up. She's going to be -- attempts will be made to humiliate her,” he asserted.

Given that the accusations against Judge Kavanaugh included an allegation that he locked the accuser in a room to sexually assault her, that analogy by Rather was underhanded and disgusting.

According to Rather, Kavanaugh’s nomination was “hanging by a rope, and that rope can start to fray very, very quickly” and it was only a matter of time before someone convinced President Trump to pull the nomination entirely.

There is no search for “truth” being done here by Rather or the liberal media. They’re searching for a way to sink the Kavanaugh confirmation.
